The Localization Specialist plays a critical role in bridging the gap between our global product offerings and regional markets. This role ensures that our digital content, educational resources, and other materials are not just translated but truly localized to resonate with our audiences.
You will ensure that every e-learning module, knowledge base article, and content asset feels native to the user, maintaining high standards for accuracy, tone, and accessibility across all digital touchpoints.

Leverage AI-driven tools and workflows to increase efficiency in translation and content adaptation while maintaining a "human-in-the-loop" approach for quality.
Ensure that AI-assisted content reflects the Mercell brand voice and local procurement nuances.
Cross-Functional Collaboration:
Act as an active collaborator within the Delivery Department to align localization needs with the broader content strategy.
Manage content review cycles, coordinating with product teams to ensure accuracy, and proactively revising localized materials based on internal feedback and product updates.
Technical Content & Quality:
Ensure "in-platform" accuracy by creating mock tenders to capture correct labels and screenshots for educational materials.
Maintain accessibility standards by writing and auditing alternative texts for digital imagery.
Content Maintenance:
Required Qualifications

Preferred Qualifications
Previous experience in localization, translation, or content management within a SaaS or international business environment. Experience within public procurement or regulated sectors is considered advantageous, but not required.

Duration: Temporary contract basis (40hrs/week) until 31 December 2026 (with the possibility of extension)
