Localize is seeking a strategic, hands-on Director of Technical Marketing with deep experience in marketing to technical audiences, from developers and engineers to IT decision-makers. In this strategic leadership role, you will lead, manage, and scale our fully remote marketing team of 2–3 marketers. Reporting directly to the CEO, you’ll drive the development of marketing strategy and the execution of integrated campaigns spanning both inbound and outbound efforts. You will help build a robust demand generation function that drives leads, accelerates pipeline, and supports the company’s ambitious revenue growth goals. This is an ideal role for a marketing leader with experience in B2B SaaS (annual contract values $30K–$100K) who can blend strategy with hands-on project management and team leadership. You have a strong grasp of complex technical concepts and the ability to translate them into clear, compelling narratives that resonate with those who build, deploy, and buy technology. With a blend of marketing strategy and technical expertise, you’ve proven success contributing to and executing high-impact programs that drive awareness, engagement, and pipeline growth. You will serve as a key partner to the CEO on marketing initiatives, translating high-level vision into actionable strategy and execution.

You’ll work alongside an agile, cross-functional team to drive revenue growth, amplify brand presence, and solidify Localize’s position in the translation space. If you thrive in shaping effective marketing programs and driving impact through scalable, data-informed strategies, you’ll be a strong fit for this role.

About Localize

The Localize platform is used by 700+ companies to automate the translation of their web and mobile applications and bring their products & services to new markets at record speed. We help companies like Ahrefs translate their website, NYU Langone Health translate their urgent care scheduling page, and the University of Nebraska at Kearney translate their international admissions page. To see our product in action, click any of those links and use the website’s language switcher to switch from English to another language.

Localize works by providing a code snippet (similar to the Google Analytics JavaScript snippet) that our customers add to their website or web app. This snippet pulls content from the page into the Localize dashboard, where customers can add translations and manage their content. Localize automatically deploys those translations to the customer’s production site, reducing development costs and accelerating time to market.

We are a fully remote team of ~30 people offering competitive pay, a comprehensive benefits package, and a culture that emphasizes work-life balance.
