Full Job Description
We're looking for a Senior Project Manager who thrives on complexity.
This is a senior individual-contributor role for someone who can take ownership of our most demanding, high-stakes translation projects - including large securities mandates - and confidently manage client relationships with lawyers, senior executives and other sophisticated stakeholders.
We're not simply looking for someone who can execute projects well. We're looking for someone who is exceptional at planning and risk management: someone who thinks several steps ahead, anticipates what could go wrong, makes sound decisions under pressure, and maintains precision even when timelines are tight and priorities are changing.
The profile we're looking for combines precision, resilience, judgment, curiosity and innovation. You have strong operational instincts and high standards, but you're also willing to question how things are done, learn new technologies and workflows, and find better ways to deliver.
You'll be a great fit if you:
Have significant experience managing complex localization or translation projects, ideally in legal, financial, securities or other regulatory or high-stakes environments
Are an exceptional planner who naturally identifies dependencies, risks and contingency plans
Can communicate confidently with senior and demanding client stakeholders
Stay composed, precise and solutions-oriented when projects get difficult
Take ownership rather than waiting for direction
Are genuinely curious and eager to keep learning
Have a strong appetite for innovation, technology and continuous improvement
Have the perseverance to see difficult projects through from beginning to end
This is not a people-management position and has no direct reports. Seniority in this role comes from the complexity of the work you can independently own, the judgment you bring to it, and the trust you build with clients.
If you're the kind of PM who enjoys the projects that require you to think, anticipate, adapt and figure things out, we'd love to hear from you.
Benefits & Perks:
Comprehensive Health Insurance: Including vision, dental, complementary therapies, and support for your overall well-being (covered 100% by Apertera for you and your applicable dependents).
Support When You Need It: Access to our Employee Assistance Program, which includes confidential resources and professional support to help you navigate life's challenges.
Peace of Mind: Comprehensive insurance coverage to help protect you and your loved ones when it matters most, including Life, AD&D, and Long-Term Disability benefits.
Your Birthday Off: We celebrate your special day!
6 Personal/Sick Days: Take the time you need for your health or life's unexpected moments.
Equipped to Succeed: We provide the essential technology and equipment you need to work comfortably and effectively, from laptops and monitors to keyboards, mice, and headsets.
Hybrid Work Model: Enjoy the best of both worlds with a mix of in-office collaboration and remote flexibility.
Learn and Grow With Us: Build skills, explore new interests, and take your career further with role-specific training, in-house learning opportunities, and access to thousands of courses from leading universities and companies through our learning partner.
AI & Innovation: Get access to AI tools and resources that empower you to work more efficiently, explore new ideas, and stay ahead in a rapidly evolving world.
Supportive & Collaborative Team Culture: Work alongside team members who genuinely have your back
Team Recognition & Action Awards: Celebrate wins and contributions in meaningful ways.
Employee Referral Program: Earn rewards for bringing amazing talent to our team.
