Hiring:
Project Manager
Welcome to Taia, where our mission is to make localization easier for everyone – individuals, translators, and companies.
We believe that our solution can completely change the way companies reach their global audience.
Our ambitious goals include expanding to new global markets. To achieve this, we need a team of dedicated and creative individuals, who don’t shy away from the challenges brought on by the dynamic international landscape.
With all that in mind, we are looking for a first-line warrior – our new Project manager to join our team.
What some of your everyday tasks will look like:
- You will be managing multiple translation projects simultaneously, overseeing the entire project cycle – from project launch to completion – making sure everything runs smoothly and according to the agreed timeframes.
- You will complete other administrative tasks such as preparing personalised quotations and issuing invoices, as well as creating glossaries and translation memories.
- You will be a point of contact for both vendors and clients, ensuring that both sides have the best possible experience with Taia.
- You will have your own set of clients who you work with on a continuous basis, providing them with quality customer service and receiving and implementing their feedback.
- You will be in regular contact with our sales team to ensure that all our clients’ requirements and project-related info are properly communicated.
- Depending on your background education and experience, you may be asked to carry out linguistic tasks such as translations, proofreading or transcriptions from time to time.
What will make you a great fit?
Requirements:
- 2 years of experience in project management and/or a degree in translation/modern languages.
- Ability to juggle many tasks at once, making sure each task is completed according to schedule.
- A keen eye for detail and exceptional organisation skills, as well as a willingness to learn.
- Tech-savvy, with advanced knowledge of MS Office tools and Adobe products, as well as the ability to recognise and work with a range of different file types.
- A warm, approachable, empathetic personality with outstanding communication and teamwork skills.
- A passion for languages and eagerness to work in a dynamic, agile work environment, where you will be able to make a lasting impact.
- Fluent English and knowledge of at least one other language.
Preferred:
- Proven experience in the translation industry, either as a project manager or in another area of an LSP/language tech company.
- Fluency in Slovene and/or German as a plus.
- Working knowledge of CAT tools and other translation management software, as well as a theoretical knowledge of Machine Translation and Translation Memory.
- A keen interest in technology and AI.
Benefits of working at Taia Translations:
- We provide competitive pay and all the tech gear you might need.
- We provide full support, working step by step to make you feel comfortable and adjust to such a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
- We offer flexible working hours and the option to work either from home or from our office in Ljubljana; we are also open to working across different time zones.
- You will be working in a young, relaxed, and open environment with a big emphasis on company culture and values.
- You will be given important responsibilities from the get-go, helping you to develop a range of skills and giving you a great deal of freedom and autonomy in how you approach your work.
Why would you want to become a part of our team?
We are a tight-knit, young and vibrant team, who enjoy working together and getting the best out of one another.
Everybody in our company is treated equally. There is no hierarchy and every idea has merit – it doesn’t matter if it comes from an intern or our CEO.
We are driven, we believe in our product and we are always ready to go that extra mile to make our clients and vendors happy.
We also strongly believe that work should be fun and we aim to support each other no matter what.
