About the Role
As a Localisation Creative Programme Manager 12-month FTC, you will lead the adaptation and execution of mass advertising campaigns for a major global brand across the UK and Europe. In this role, you will be embedded into our client’s project management function, acting as the primary driver for transcreation, cultural checks, quality control, post-production, and asset trafficking. We are looking for someone who is passionate about seeking new opportunities to create impactful work, remains super organised in a fast-paced environment, and can effortlessly coordinate large-scale, multi-channel campaigns across 13+ European locales. You will work independently to turn complex global strategies into highly relevant, locally nuanced content.
Responsibilities:
- Manage the end-to-end localisation of integrated campaigns across all media channels (including TV, Radio, Digital, Print, Social, and OOH) either internally or through external agency partners.
- Oversee the cultural review, transcreation, and quality control processes to guarantee accurate, high-volume asset completion.
- Liaise with local and global teams, alongside media agencies, to agree on media formats and finalise comprehensive deliverable lists.
- Guarantee accurate, approved, and timely delivery (trafficking) of all creative assets directly to media owners.
- Maintain an expert, up-to-date understanding of technical specifications and media formats across both existing and emerging channels.
- Collaborate with external agencies, producers, campaign managers, and creative leads to schedule resources and keep projects moving seamlessly.
- Refine and continuously improve project management tools and workflows with a specific focus on localisation efficiency.
About You
The essentials:
- 8+ years of experience in transcreation project management, localisation, and integrated production within a post-production agency or an in-house localisation team.
- Deep, hands-on experience managing localisation workflows across diverse channels like TV, Radio, Online Video, Digital, Print, and Social.
- Comfortable reading, analysing, and executing delivery against complex media plans.
- Strong experience working alongside global and local stakeholders, setting clear roles and responsibilities.
- Excellent prioritisation skills with the ability to manage multiple end-to-end creative workflows simultaneously under tight timelines.
Not a must, but a plus:
- Native-level proficiency in at least one European language outside of English.
- A degree in Languages, International Studies, or a related field (though relevant hands-on experience is just as valuable).
- Comfort with new technologies, automation tools, and an eagerness to learn and master new platforms.
