The team comprises over three thousand self-driven individuals spanning over 100 countries, and our unified yet diverse culture keeps us continually learning and innovating the platform and products for customers.

Companies should be able to hire the best talent anywhere in the world, so we are building the best platform to make that a reality. Our market-leading technology, expertise, and global team are crucial to the platform’s success. We deliver the best products and features in our space, enabling millions of jobs worldwide and connecting the global workforce with the best companies and opportunities.

Why should you be part of our success story?

A 30-mile hiring radius should no longer dictate how companies hire because exceptional talent lives everywhere. Deel sees a world without hiring borders and endless talent that pairs perfect candidates with great companies.

We offer global teams all the tools they need to hire, onboard, manage, pay, and scale at full speed. We aim to foster a diverse global economy by building a generational platform that seamlessly connects companies with talent worldwide.

About the Role

Deel is looking for a Website Localization Manager to lead and streamline our global translation and localization strategy. This role will ensure high-quality, scalable, and cost-efficient translations across all markets while enabling SEO-friendly optimisations.

The ideal candidate will be responsible for building, managing, and optimising translated website content, ensuring it meets Deel’s global expansion goals while balancing cost, efficiency, and localization quality.

Quality Control & Local Optimisation

• Evaluate and manage relationships with translation vendors.

• Monitor and control GDN costs.

Cross-Team Collaboration & Stakeholder Alignment

• Work closely with engineering and product teams to integrate localization tools into CMS.

• Communicate translation updates and needs with content, SEO, and marketing teams.

• Align with legal & compliance teams to ensure translations meet regulatory requirements in different regions.

Reporting & Continuous Improvement

• Track and report on translation efficiency, quality, and impact on website performance.

• Identify bottlenecks in the localization process and propose continuous improvements.

• Implement a feedback loop where local teams can request content adjustments based on market-specific needs.

Required Qualifications

• Proven experience in website localization & translation management for global brands.

• Expertise in localization platforms (e.g., Smartling, DeepL, Crowdin, Lokalise, or similar tools).

• Strong knowledge of CMS platforms (Strapi, WordPress, Adobe Experience Manager, or similar).

• Hands-on experience integrating translation tools into content workflows.

• Understanding of multilingual SEO best practices (hreflang, metadata, structured data, URL structures).

• Ability to manage translation budgets and vendor contracts.

• Experience working cross-functionally with SEO, content, product, and engineering teams.

• Strong project management skills, with experience in Jira, Asana, or similar platforms.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in B2B SaaS, tech, or enterprise localization.

• Familiarity with AI-powered translation solutions (e.g., DeepL API).

• Fluency in multiple languages is a plus, especially ES, PT, DE, FR.

• Knowledge of internationalisation (i18n) and localization (l10n) best practices.
