As part of its evolving localization strategy, 2K is investing in a new leadership role to help reshape how language support operates across our game development lifecycle. We’re looking for a Senior Manager to lead a talented North America–based team of Localization Coordinators—each representing key languages and regions in our portfolio.
You’ll be at the forefront of Global Loc 2.0 at 2K, collaborating with local and regional stakeholders on a variety of day-to-day operations, implementing and scaling modern localization systems and best practices, and ensuring that our localized experiences hit the mark—every time. With a team of linguistic professionals under your guidance, you'll drive alignment, spark innovation, and help build a world-class localization support model that binds our global localization teams.
This is a high-visibility, high-impact leadership role with a strong operational focus—perfect for someone who thrives on complexity, collaboration, and continuous improvement.
Lead & Inspire: Manage and develop a team of ~12 Localization Coordinators, each supporting language-specific localization operations and regional partners
Own the Day-to-Day: Provide tactical leadership across all facets of the Localization Coordination function—ensuring operational excellence, accountability, and cross-team alignment
Contribute to Complex Initiatives: Identify localization gaps and opportunities in large-scale projects that cut across development, publishing, engineering, FQA, and external partners—and propose and drive solutions
Elevate the Function: Define goals, KPIs, and feedback systems to build a high-performing, proactive team that thrives in fast-paced environments
Shape the Pipeline: Collaborate with leaders in Production, Engineering, QA, and Publishing to streamline workflows, tooling, and localization-readiness across games
Level Up Our Systems: Identify and implement impactful improvements to processes, systems, or team practices that enhance quality, speed, and scalability
Represent & Advocate: Serve as the voice of language-specific localization efforts to North American game teams—bridging strategy and delivery with clarity and confidence
Champion Best Practices: Contribute to departmental strategies around automation, vendor collaboration, certification tracking, and internationalization readiness
Think Beyond the Now: Support long-term planning and talent development as Global Localization continues to evolve and expand
7+ years of experience in localization, production operations, QA, or game development—with 2–3 years in a leadership or management role
Experience managing teams of seasoned professionals across languages, regions, or specialties
Proven success running complex, cross-functional projects with measurable outcomes
Strong grasp of localization workflows, i18n fundamentals, LQA, and platform certification standards
Demonstrated ability to identify gaps, streamline operations, and champion continuous improvement
Exceptional leadership, communication, and team development skills
Hands-on experience with tools like Jira, TMS, CAT platforms, CMS, and localization dashboards
Fluency in English required; additional language skills are a strong advantage
Passion for global player experiences, cultural nuance, and scalable localization systems
Localization is no longer a handoff—it’s a critical function embedded in how our games are made, delivered, and experienced. In this role, you'll lead the team that connects the dots between language, content, tools, and production—making sure our games speak to players around the world with authenticity, quality, and care.
At 2K, you’ll help redefine what operational excellence looks like in global localization—and build the future of how our games go global.
