Summary Generated by Built In

Alconost is on a mission to help digital products speak the language of their users. We localize software, games, apps, and websites into 120+ languages — and we're looking for a Localization Manager to join our growing team and own our Korean-market projects.

This is a remote, full-time role for a native Korean speaker who wants to learn fast, grow hard, and make a global impact.

Who We're Looking For

You've got real experience managing projects, you're organized and comfortable taking ownership without waiting to be told what's next, and you're genuinely into languages. You know how to use AI as a real working tool, not just a buzzword.

We'd love to meet you if you:
  • Are a native Korean speaker
  • Have 2+ years of experience as a project manager (localization experience is a plus, not a requirement)
  • Have business English skills (C1 or higher)
  • Have an interest in the IT field, games; translation or editing experience is a plus
  • Use AI tools day-to-day (Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT or similar); experience building or configuring AI agents/workflows is a strong plus
  • Japanese and/or Chinese language skills are a nice-to-have, not required
What You'll Do
  • Lead localization projects for a variety of IT companies
  • Communicate with clients, translators, and editors from all over the world
  • Monitor deadlines, quality, and profitability of services
  • Take care of our financial relationship with the client
  • Find and integrate new tools and processes, including AI-driven workflows
What You'll Get
  • Flexible hours and remote work. Alconost strongly supports a healthy work-life balance and you can work from anywhere in the world.
  • Competitive salary. Here at Alconost, the achievements of each individual are plain for all to see. Your salary will grow according to your performance and responsibilities. We're confident that happy, wealthy individuals work better.
  • Benefits: the company covers 50% of the costs for fitness, foreign language classes, professional training, new work equipment, coworking and medical insurance.
  • Training. Our commitment to staff training and development is unwavering. At Alconost, we are always in favor of employee training and development. It's important to us that our employees stay up-to-date, and we are ready to help them achieve this.
  • Opportunities for new ideas: we are open to any new ideas in which you can fully utilize your strengths and creativity.
  • Contractor agreement with an American company. Independent tax payment.
  • We are a teal organization. We don't have rigid hierarchical management structures. We value the distribution of power and collective intelligence, allowing efficient work structures to arise and dissolve depending on the situation. The main value of our company is people.

Ready to grow with us? Apply now and tell us why localization is your calling. Let's build the multilingual world together.
