Serve as liaison between the client's cross-functional internal teams (marketing, operations, compliance) and the external translation services provider

Establish and enforce best practices and processes for translation requests, intake standards, version control, and approvals

Manage demand and capacity by prioritizing requests based on project urgency and timelines; escalate capacity issues when they arise

Develop and monitor quality metrics in collaboration with the translation partner's quality team to ensure compliance and continuous improvement

Maintain translation memory to improve efficiency and consistency across projects

Attend content meetings to capture and address French translation needs early in the product lifecycle
