Internationalization Project Manager

Posted Sep 23

Our mission is to unlock the collaborative power of communities by making Web3 universally easy to use, access, and build on.

Working with Consensys puts you at the forefront of an evolving paradigm, transforming our society for the better. We fundamentally believe blockchain is the next generation of technology that can lay the foundation for a more just and equitable society. 

Blockchain tech is just over 10 years old. Ethereum itself is still a toddler and we’re far from reaching our full potential. You’ll get to work on the tools, infrastructure, and apps that scale these platforms to billions of users. 

You’ll be constantly exposed to new concepts, ideas, and frameworks from your peers, and as you work on different projects — challenging you to stay at the top of your game. You’ll join a network of entrepreneurs and technologists that reaches the edge of our ecosystem. Consensys alumni have moved on to become tech entrepreneurs, CEOs, and team leads at tech companies. 

About Customer Success

The Customer Success team at Consensys is focused on exactly that: making our customers successful. We’re looking for people who will step towards a customer who is asking for help and respond with innovative and creative ideas to help them course-correct. If you value constructive customer engagement and want to define the future of blockchain total customer experience, we’d love to hear from you.

What you’ll do

As Consensys grows in international prominence, teams across the company are confronting the need for translation and internationalization: in product interfaces, in documentation, and websites. The Customer Success Content Team (CSCT) is looking for an enthusiastic advocate of internationalization to help manage these efforts.

This Project Manager will be involved with translation processes in a variety of capacities; some projects will be under their direct control, while on others their role will be limited to an advisory capacity.

Your responsibilities would include:

  • Liaising and maintaining relationships with existing language service providers
  • Scoping, planning, and execution of translation projects from the client side, including:
  1. Maintaining contact with client teams within Consensys 
  2. Advising teams regarding translation workflow processes, and guiding them in decision-making to ensure a successful workflow
  3. Assisting with financial approval and invoicing
  4. Transfer, configuration, and deployment of translated materials

In coordination with the CSCT Manager and team:

  • Maintaining internal documentation of processes for performing internationalization
  • Ensuring internationalized content stays up to date
  • Maintaining Style Guides in multiple languages, for specific workstreams and in general for the company
  • Promote and support the standardization of internationalization processes and workstreams in the interests of efficiency and consistency

It would be great if you brought this to the role

  • A solid background in either professional translation (either freelance or in-house) or translation project management, or both
  • Experience managing a team or network of freelance linguists in order to meet business needs
  • A passion and willingness to advocate for improving accessibility of content and tools through internationalization
  • Curiosity and a willingness to learn about the new technology we’re building
  • A flexible attitude and a willingness to work proactively across teams

Nice-to-have:

  • Desktop publishing and document formatting experience
  • Crypto or web3 knowledge and / or experience
  • Knowledge of multiple natural (human) languages
  • Experience with Content Management Systems, GitHub, or software development processes in general

Don't meet all the requirements? Don't sweat it. We’re passionate about building a diverse team of humans and as such, if you think you've got what it takes for our chaotic-but-fun, remote-friendly, start-up environment—apply anyway, detailing your relevant transferable skills in your cover letter. While we have a pretty good idea of what we need, we're ready for you to challenge our thinking on who needs to be in this role.
