Your role at Hostinger

Hostinger reaches 5,5 million+ clients across 150 countries. Localization isn’t a translation pipeline anymore, but a growth lever. At this scale, every market requires precision, cultural depth and a team that can execute at speed - we need someone to own it.

As Senior Localization Team Lead, you’ll coach a big team of in-house specialists, manage an on-demand freelancer network and help shape how Hostinger communicates in every market it enters. That means being as comfortable navigating never-ending changes as you are running a performance conversation grounded in quality data and growth perspectives.

This is a people-first, strategy-forward role: high ownership, high autonomy, real impact on how millions of people experience Hostinger.

Your day-to-day

• Lead, coach and develop a team of Localization Specialists, creating an environment of psychological safety, ownership and continuous growth through regular feedback, performance conversations and data-driven quality improvements.

• Manage and scale our external freelancer network, owning the full lifecycle from sourcing and onboarding to quality standards, communication and offboarding.

• Translate business goals into localization execution plans, bringing market insights into planning and acting as the bridge between Localization Specialists and Localization Project Managers.

• Validate strategic priorities against real team capacity and market realities, ensuring plans are both ambitious and operationally feasible.

• Take ownership of complex localization challenges without established playbooks, including new market launches, AI-human review models and other strategic initiatives.

What will help you succeed
