From the Ground Up: Building a Localization Team

Building a strong team is an ever-evolving journey, not simply a destination.

Localization Career Coach, Hristina Racheva, joins us to uncover what it takes to build a localization team from the ground up. Building a team takes more than just hiring a few people – it also requires the foundation of a strong and unique culture of a team that fits within a company. In today’s remote world, it’s more important than ever that teams embody shared values to create a safe space for collaboration, efficiency, and psychological safety.

Hristina will share her experience of doubling her team’s size during the pandemic, their growth path, and how they managed everything across three different countries. This session will dig into the ways Hristina conducts team check-ups, decides who to hire (generalists, specialists, senior, entry-level, etc.), identifies the team’s characteristics and gaps, and more.

This workshop identifies:

• How to identify the roles your team needs
• Key elements for successful on-boarding
• Importance of team spirit and collaboration
• Ways your team can learn and grow together
• Tips for managers and leaders
