Who we are:

Want to make an impact? Join our pack and come work (and play!) with us.

We believe everyone deserves the unconditional love of a pet-and at Rover, our mission is to make it easier to experience that love. Founded in 2011, the Rover app and website connect dog and cat parents with loving pet sitters and dog walkers in neighborhoods across the US, Canada, and Europe. We empower our community of trusted pet sitters and dog walkers to run their own pet care businesses on Rover with the tools and security of a global company to back them.

Headquartered in Seattle, Washington, we work closely with our teams in Barcelona, San Antonio, Spokane, and remote locations. We've got a reputation for being a great place to work, having been named among the 100 Best Companies to Work For in Seattle Business Magazine and Washington's Best Workplaces in the Puget Sound Business Journal. We're an agile, fast-growing company, and our leadership comes from some of the world's most respected tech companies.

At Rover, our furry coworkers are just as important as our human ones-and we wouldn't have it any other way. Along with making the joys of pet parenthood more accessible, we're committed to fostering a diverse, inclusive, and welcoming community of pet people-and that starts with our employees.

Who We're Looking For:

To support Rover's international hyper-growth, we are looking for a Program Manager III, Localization to serve as the strategic process & technology lead of our localization ecosystem.

You will operate as the bridge between localization, product, and engineering. Your mandate is to design scalable workflows and drive the integration of generative AI to modernize our operations. You don't need to be an engineer, but you must be an expert in implementing technology to solve business problems, ensuring our stack is efficient, automated, and cost-effective.

Your Responsibilities:

Lead the technical implementation of generative AI / LLM workflows. You will focus on building the infrastructure that enables high-velocity translation (setting up LLM connectors, automating content routing based on risk), aiming directly at cost reduction and speed, while partnering with the Localization Quality Program Manager to ensure these workflows meet linguistic standards.
Design and maintain end-to-end "zero-touch" workflows. You will deconstruct manual processes and rebuild them using smart automation, ensuring Rover can launch in new markets without proportional headcount growth.
Manage and optimize the Translation Management System (i.e. Smartling) and its ecosystem. You are the decision-maker on tool configuration, ensuring we are always using the best features available to serve business goals.
Partner closely with the Localization Quality Program Manager to operationalize their quality strategies.
Partner closely with the Localization Operations Program Manager to ensure your technical architectures translate into practical reality. While they own the daily execution of projects, you build the efficient processes they run on. Your goal is to remove administrative friction and manual steps, allowing the Ops team to focus on delivery speed and stakeholder management rather than troubleshooting tools.
Define the technical requirements for integrations between our TMS and platforms (Zendesk, GitHub, Figma, etc.). Collaborate with Engineering to ensure these connectors are robust, serving as the business owner of the integration.
