The Pokémon GO team is looking for an APAC Localization Manager to lead the localization of all player-facing Pokémon GO communications across APAC. This includes the communications that help players discover, understand, and engage with the game, its content, events, campaigns, and broader brand experience across in-game and external channels.

You will own the quality and operational health of this work from intake and prioritization through translation or transcreation, linguistic review, in-context quality assurance, stakeholder approvals, and launch readiness. You will ensure every deliverable is accurate, culturally appropriate, on brand, and ready for its intended market, while bringing clarity and predictability to a fast-moving, multi-language live-service environment.

You will partner closely with Product Marketing, Product Management, Game Design, Creative Production, Community, Social, Direct Marketing, Communications, Production, regional teams, and external language partners. You will also use advanced AI tools and thoughtfully designed workflows to improve scale, speed, and consistency, while maintaining rigorous human review, confidentiality, IP standards, and the quality expected of Pokémon GO.
