- Own Japanese linguistic quality: Manage the quality program for all Japanese content, particularly technical documentation and in-product UI copy, by reviewing translation output against Adyen's standards.
- Develop Japanese language assets: Create, maintain, and evolve Japanese style guides, glossaries, and other resources to scale high-quality content.
- Collaborate across teams: Work closely with Product, Marketing, Support, and other in-market teams to define the right localization approach and ensure local success of campaigns, launches, and communications.
- Manage vendor linguists: Oversee external resources, providing guidance, feedback, and coordination for market-specific initiatives.
- Be the go-to expert: Address linguistic queries, provide cultural insights, and advocate for Japanese customers within Adyen's global teams.
- Drive improvements: Use data and stakeholder feedback to continuously refine processes, localization quality programs, and operational efficiency.
Who you are

- Minimum 3 years of experience in localization, ideally in a SaaS or Technology environment.
- Skilled at writing, editing, and reviewing Japanese content with strong attention to detail.
- Experience in product and technical documentation content is required, marketing content experience is a plus.
- Deep understanding of Japanese culture, communication styles, and user expectations, with the ability to convey Adyen's brand authentically.

- Experienced with TMS platforms (e.g. Smartling), machine translation, AI and QA workflows.
