Senior Technical Product Manager, Content Platforms (Localization)

- Own the localization infrastructure product: roadmap, architecture decisions, stakeholder alignment

- Partner with engineers to design and ship multi-platform systems that meet complex, evolving localization needs across the business

- Build functional prototypes independently to validate ideas and sharpen requirements before full engineering investment

- Design the workflows and self-serve patterns that let teams move forward without routing every request through a central queue

- Drive adoption of AI-assisted translation tooling while maintaining quality and consistency standards

- Help us make smart build-vs-buy decisions - knowing when to build internal tooling and when existing or emerging vendors are the better answer

- Manage relationships with translation and localization vendors - what we expect of them, what we move away from, and how their work integrates with everything we build

PMs are encouraged to apply, but so are solutions architects, solutions consultants, engineers, and others with a background in localization or content operations. Read the rest as a description of the work, not a checklist of prior titles.

A working background in localization is a strong plus, but it isn't a requirement. What we do need is a thoughtful interest in the space - someone who has read into the problem, has views on where AI shifts the cost curve, and is genuinely curious about how a modern enterprise should be running this kind of program. If you bring the systems thinking and product instincts, we can build the domain depth around you.

If you do have localization experience, here's what we'd expect you to bring:

- Familiar with the localization landscape - tools, workflows, vendor relationships, and where the real friction lives

- Able to develop a clear framework for when human review is required, tuned to content type, audience, risk, and context - not just an instinct, but a defensible model others can apply

- Deeply familiar with headless CMS architecture; Sanity experience is a strong plus

- Comfortable with Node.js, TypeScript, and modern web frameworks

- Able to build simple web apps and functional prototypes on your own - you won't be shipping complex systems to production solo, but you can independently validate an idea end-to-end

- Comfortable building with AI development tools like Claude Code or Cursor

- Comfortable architecting multi-platform systems and reasoning about long-term design tradeoffs

- Truly embedded with engineering - not just mediating through tickets and grooming sessions, but collaborating in real time, pairing on problems, and helping the team move faster using the AI development tools available today

- Can hold your own in technical conversations without needing to defer every decision

- Experienced managing stakeholders across team boundaries, including customers who have real expectations tied to your delivery

- Genuinely curious about what AI makes possible - not as a buzzword, but as a tool you use and build with

- Iterative by nature: you'd rather ship a rough thing and learn than over-plan before moving

- Systems thinker: you design for the problems you haven't seen yet, not just the ones in front of you
