Description
Localization Manager II – Berlin (Fixed Term)
Team: Run & Grow – Acquisition, Localization
Location: Berlin (office first)
Contract: 12-month fixed term, full time (maternity cover)
Our Localization team
Localization at SumUp works like an internal product team, building the systems, automation and AI capabilities that let campaigns, products and growth initiatives launch across dozens of markets at once. This role joins that team with a strong program management focus, covering a colleague on maternity leave and taking ownership of several of the team's most active workstreams, including CRM, SEO and parts of our Consumer and Run My Business portfolios. It's a chance to step straight into meaningful ownership, working closely with Product, Growth and CRM teams to coordinate multilingual delivery, manage priorities and dependencies, and keep localization programs moving at pace during a period of rapid expansion.
Take a look at our Berlin office.
