Localization Design Lead (2D and Video Assets)

WHAT YOU WILL BE WORKING ON

What you will focus on

The Localization Team Lead is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day operations, quality, delivery, and performance of the Digital Assets Localization Team, including both 2D and Video. This role ensures the effective localization, adaptation, and delivery of promotional assets across multiple markets while ensuring team development, process improvements, and operational excellence.

What it means on a daily basis

• Own the pipeline: Plan, prioritize, and assign incoming localization requests, keeping every project on track, on time, on quality, and on brand.
• Drive quality across every asset: QA localized, resized, and adapted 2D and video assets before they go live - from store screenshots and app previews to user acquisition creatives, trailers, and cross-promo materials.
• Be the bridge: Serve as the go-to link between the Localization Team and internal stakeholders, aligning priorities and keeping communication clear and effective.
• Lead and grow your team: Coach, mentor, and support your team's development through regular feedback, goal setting, onboarding, and engagement initiatives - building a team that performs and thrives.
• Streamline the workflow: Continuously spot workflow inefficiencies, drive automation, and optimize production processes - then document it all in clear guidelines, reports, and best practices.
• Balance workload: Support resource planning and distribute workload effectively across the team.
• Get hands-on when needed: When deadlines spike or priorities shift, jump in and do the localization work yourself alongside the team.

What success will look like

• The team consistently delivers localization projects on time and in alignment with business priorities.
• Maintain efficient and scalable localization workflows across both 2D and video production.
• High team engagement, retention, and performance.
• Enable continuous improvement through process optimization and automation initiatives.
• Build strong stakeholder satisfaction and confidence in localization delivery.
• Maintain up-to-date documentation and ensure adherence to localization standards and best practices.
• Reach department KPIs related to quality, delivery, productivity, and operational efficiency.
• Maintain high-quality localized assets with minimal revisions and rework.
