About the Job
Games Workshop has a new and rare opportunity for an Asian Localisation Manager to manage our Asian translation team!
The Translation teams are responsible for ensuring the content for Games Workshop’s publications and marketing materials are translated from English to a variety of languages and we are now looking for an Asian Localisation Manager to lead our Chinese, Japanese and Korean translation teams and work closely with the European Localisation Manager to deliver a high and consistent quality across our global translation offering.
This is an exciting role in an emerging market, so ideal candidates for the role will have a strong understanding of Chinese, Japanese and Korean markets, experience of working as a Translator in at least one of these territories, and a passion to attend Warhammer stores and events to immerse themselves into the Warhammer culture and build on their existing knowledge of these fast growing markets.
Passionate about localisation quality and forward thinking, you will be responsible for ensuring all translation materials are delivered to the highest quality standard, whilst also ensuring that the background, style and tone represents the original text. Through training and development of the translation teams, you will seek out opportunities to improve processes and will share best practice across the teams for a consistent delivery approach. We’ll look to you to create and deliver a service centre strategy through understanding business demands and implementing a suite of delivery and quality KPI’s as you define, measure, report and drive improvements across the teams.
Highly organised and with an attention to detail, you will be responsible for managing the translation team budget and you will work collaboratively with the finance team to ensure translation spend is accurate. You will work closely with the Head of Studio Operations to understand the translation team spend requirements and will control this to ensure it is used to meet business needs and any spend variance is logged and accurately reflected.
The challenge with this job is that each territory varies in terms of maturity, customer base, and has specific needs and opportunities; the right candidate will be able to work with the Translation Managers to ensure consistency in regard to the process, as well as identify opportunities across Translation.
If you’re a strong translation manager with experience of managing remote translation teams and driving a culture of continuous improvement we’d love to hear from you!
