This role involves close collaboration with volunteer localizers, language service providers, and internal teams to ensure products are localization-ready from design through release. The position is integral to Mozilla's mission of making the internet better for people by delivering high-quality, localized user experiences.
Key responsibilities include driving end-to-end localized product releases, defining testing and quality strategies, and setting priorities for localization bugs.
