Localization Coordinator

Full-Time | Berlin, Germany

We are Kolibri Games - a mobile games developer from Berlin. We believe that with the best people, we can make games that players will enjoy for years to come.

**Localization Coordinator (f/m/d)**:
Do you have a kean eye for speling and grammer misstakes? Do you delight in pointing out the differences between their, they're and there? Do you love thinking about the contextual and narrative merits of using one fantastic adjective instead of one merely good one? Then this is the job for you

We are looking for a language nerd with exceptional attention-to-detail, great patience under pressure, and solid project management capabilities. These skills will be merged into our Localization Coordinator position, where you will coordinate and contribute to our 25+ in-game languages, ensuring the success of our multiple globally-accessible titles.

The role is full-time (40 hours a week), on-site at our office in Berlin with opportunities to work from home.

**Core responsibilities**:

- Proof-read English texts for new game features, game updates, and special events (to name but a few) and ensure they are presented in high-quality American English
- Coordinate the localization of the English texts into all relevant game languages: Directly localize into your other native-level language(s), and work with our external partners for the rest, evaluate the performance and quality of external partners
- Upload all localized texts and quality-test key ones before they go live to our players
- Prioritize requests coming from multiple departments and projects, and meet their respective (often very tight) deadlines
- Perform continuous LQA on live game texts, updating all language errors and confusing messages
- Create and deliver high-level reports for stakeholders, e.g., financial reports, OKR, and KPI check-ins
- Create and maintain internal documentation to reduce knowledge dependencies
- Report to the Head of Player Communications and assist them with building, maintaining, and streamlining localization processes/workflows

**Requirements**:

- Exceptional written skills in (American) English (at least C1, but C2 level preferred)
- Excellent written/translation skills in minimum one other language which is present in our Idle Miner Tycoon game (at least C1, but C2 level preferred)
- Consistent attention-to-detail and ability to think/read like a player
- Previous experience, ideally 1+ years in a professional capacity, with project management in any field
- Previous experience, ideally 1+ years in a professional capacity, with localization
- Basic Excel skills (for maintaining loca string overview, tracking and optimizing costs, etc.)
- Understanding of UI/UX within mobile game localization
- Great communication skills and prior experience working in a fast-paced environment
- Outstanding self-organization skills and ability to handle multiple projects/deadlines at the same time
