3What this role really is

This job supports international product launches, keeping the practical details of a launch on track. You help senior launch managers by making sure content gets translated, assets are in place, and everyone has the right information. It is a hands-on role, supporting several workstreams at once.

4What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

Asana / Jira (Project Management) Intermediate

Updating tasks, tracking personal deliverables, navigating existing project boards, and marking items complete. You'll be a regular user, not a configurator.

Confluence / Notion (Collaboration & Docs) Intermediate

Reading and commenting on launch documentation, creating basic pages from existing templates, and finding information. You'll contribute to our knowledge base.

HubSpot / Marketo (Marketing Automation) Basic

Pulling contact lists for specific campaigns, scheduling emails from pre-approved templates, and monitoring basic campaign metrics (e.g., open rates). You won't be building workflows.

Lokalise / Smartling / Phrase (Localization Management) Intermediate

Submitting content for translation, tracking the status of translation projects, and retrieving translated files. You'll be managing the flow of content through these platforms.

Tableau / Google Data Studio (Analytics & BI) Basic

Viewing and filtering pre-built dashboards to find specific pieces of information (e.g., website traffic for a new market), and exporting data for reports. You're a consumer of data, not a builder.

Bynder / Canto (Digital Asset Management) Intermediate

Finding and downloading approved marketing assets, understanding how assets are tagged, and ensuring you're using the correct versions. You'll be our asset gatekeeper for regional teams.

Microsoft Office / Google Workspace Advanced

Creating and editing documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. You'll be using these for internal communications, basic data tracking, and preparing launch materials.

5What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing in Where you are nowThe step above
Task Prioritisation (within your workload) Consult with manager if unsure, otherwise follow established priority. Independently prioritise routine tasks; consult manager on conflicting high-priority items. Full autonomy for your workstream; inform manager of significant shifts.
Content Approval (e.g., marketing copy, assets) No authority. Submit all content for review and approval by relevant internal teams (e.g., Product Marketing, Legal). Approve minor edits to pre-approved content; escalate anything significant. Approve content within defined brand guidelines and legal frameworks; consult on strategic messaging.
Vendor Selection/Management (e.g., translation agencies) No authority. Work with existing vendors as instructed. Escalate any performance issues. Manage day-to-day relationship with existing vendors; escalate performance issues or requests for new vendors. Recommend new vendors, negotiate contracts up to £5K (with approval); manage overall vendor performance.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

On-time Task Completion Rate
How often you complete your assigned tasks by their agreed deadline.
Target · >95%

If you have 20 tasks assigned in a month, you'd need to complete at least 19 of them on time. Missing a deadline on a critical asset translation would directly impact this.

Asset Delivery Accuracy
Ensuring that all required marketing assets (images, copy, videos) are delivered to the correct regional teams, in the right format, and by the specified deadline.
Target · 100%

For a launch requiring 50 localised assets across 3 regions, 150 total assets must be correctly delivered. Even one missing or incorrect file would count against this.

Translation Project Quality & Accuracy
The rate of critical errors or necessary reworks identified in translated marketing content you've coordinated.
Target · <2% critical error rate

If a translated landing page has 100 sentences, and 3 have significant grammatical or cultural errors that require rework, that's a 3% error rate, which would be too high.

Launch Checklist Adherence
How thoroughly and accurately you update and follow the defined steps in our internal launch checklists.
Target · 95% adherence

For a checklist with 100 items, you'd need to correctly mark off at least 95. Missing a step like 'confirm legal approval for local ad copy' would be a big miss.

Proactive Communication & Escalation
Keeping your manager and relevant team members informed about progress, potential roadblocks, or any issues that might impact deadlines, before they become a crisis.
  • You're regularly updating your manager on task status, flagging potential delays early, and asking for help when you're stuck. People aren't chasing you for updates
  • you're giving them proactively.
Learning Agility & Process Adoption
How quickly you pick up new tools, understand our internal launch processes, and apply feedback to improve your work.
  • You're asking smart questions, taking notes, and applying new instructions without needing to be told multiple times. You're showing improvement in your work quality over time, and you're not making the same mistake twice.
Attention to Detail
The ability to spot small errors, inconsistencies, or missing information in documents, assets, or project plans before they cause bigger problems.
  • You're catching typos in copy, noticing an outdated logo on a presentation, or flagging that a regional team hasn't provided all the necessary information for a translation brief. Your work rarely needs significant corrections from your manager.
Team Support & Reliability
Being a dependable and helpful team member who consistently delivers on commitments and supports the overall launch effort.
  • Your colleagues know they can count on you for tasks you own. You're willing to help out when needed, and you're seen as a positive, contributing member of the team, even if your tasks are often behind the scenes.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Learning & Development

You'll be constantly exposed to new processes, tools, and international markets. Every day is a chance to learn something new about global marketing, from localisation best practices to coordinating across different time zones. You'll be asking 'why' a lot and soaking it all in.

You'll spend time shadowing a Senior Launch Manager, seeing how they handle a 'Go/No-Go' meeting, and then applying that knowledge to your own tasks, like preparing the pre-read documents.

Making a Tangible Contribution

While you won't be setting strategy, your work directly enables the launch. You'll see the assets you've coordinated go live, the translations you've managed appear on websites, and the checklists you've maintained contribute to a successful product release. Your efforts are visible, even if behind the scenes.

You've spent a week coordinating 20 different localised ad creatives. When the campaign goes live and you see those ads in French, German, and Japanese, you know you made that happen.

Being Part of a Global Team

You'll be interacting daily with colleagues from different countries and cultures. You'll learn about global holidays, regional marketing preferences, and the challenges of working across multiple time zones. It's a truly international environment.

Your morning stand-up might include updates from London, Berlin, and Singapore. You'll get to understand the unique challenges and successes of each region.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Global' Product Fallacy: You'll discover that what the product team calls 'global-ready' often means it supports English and maybe Spanish, but completely breaks with German special characters or right-to-left languages. You'll then be the one chasing the fixes.
  • Legal as a Bottleneck: Sending critical ad copy or packaging to the legal team for a new country and getting it back two weeks later with a simple 'No' and no actionable feedback, putting your timeline at risk. You'll often be the one chasing them for clarity.
  • Herding Cats Across Time Zones (on a smaller scale): Trying to get a quick answer from a regional colleague in APAC when you're in London, and their day is ending just as yours begins. It can be a bit of a logistical puzzle.
  • Repetitive Tasks: You'll spend hours updating a spreadsheet or chasing approvals for the tenth time. If you need constant validation that your work is directly changing the world, this might be tough. It's essential, but not always glamorous.
What this role does not give you
  • Immediate strategic decision-making authority.
  • Full ownership of a large-scale international launch from concept to execution.
  • A role where you're constantly innovating new processes (you'll be following existing ones).
  • A quiet, predictable environment where nothing ever changes. That's just not how launches work.

8Who you work with

You'll ensure the smooth, accurate, and timely execution of foundational launch tasks. This frees up senior team members to focus on strategy and problem-solving, directly contributing to our ability to launch products efficiently and effectively across diverse international markets. Get it right, and we avoid costly delays and brand inconsistencies.

Inside the business
  • Senior International Launch Managers
  • Regional Marketing Teams (EMEA, APAC, AMER)
  • Product Marketing Specialists
  • Legal & Compliance Team
  • Creative & Content Teams
Outside the business
  • Translation Agencies
  • External Creative Agencies (for asset delivery)
  • Localisation Vendors

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • Strong organisational skills and a methodical approach to tasks.
  • Excellent attention to detail – you're the one who spots the typo or the wrong date.
  • A genuine eagerness to learn about international marketing and product launches.
  • Ability to follow instructions accurately and work effectively within established processes.
  • Good communication skills, both written and verbal, for working with internal and external teams.
  • Proficiency with common office software (e.g., Google Docs, Sheets, Slides or Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint) – you'll use these daily.

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Basic Data Interpretation for Launch Optimisation

Every launch generates data, and understanding what that data means is crucial for making better decisions next time. You'll need to move beyond just pulling numbers to understanding what they're telling us. This will be important within 18-24 months.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) · Trend Analysis (Basic) · A/B Testing Fundamentals · Data Visualisation Basics

  • This quarter: Ask your manager or a Senior Analyst to walk you through a launch dashboard. Ask 'why' each metric is important.
  • Next quarter: Take an online course on Google Analytics fundamentals or basic data analysis for marketers.
  • Month 6: Start trying to connect your specific tasks to the data. For example, 'I coordinated these ads; did the click-through rate improve?'
  • Month 9: Propose a small, simple A/B test for a piece of content you're working on (e.g., two different email subject lines).

Quick win: When you're looking at a dashboard, don't just note the numbers. Ask yourself: 'What story is this telling? What might have caused this change?'

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Enrolling in online courses on platforms like Coursera, Udemy, or LinkedIn Learning focused on digital marketing, project coordination, or international business.
  • Reading industry blogs and publications (e.g., Marketing Week, The Drum, Econsultancy) to stay up-to-date on trends in global marketing.
  • Seeking out a mentor within the Marketing team or through industry networks to gain insights and guidance.
  • Attending relevant webinars or virtual industry events to expand your knowledge and network.
  • Actively participating in internal training sessions on our tools and processes. We offer plenty of these!

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of the initial legwork in international product launches can be time-consuming. Imagine if you could cut down on the repetitive bits, get first drafts done faster, and spend more time on the interesting stuff. Well, AI is here to help you do just that.

For an Associate, AI isn't about building complex models, it's about making your daily tasks smoother and quicker. You'll be using AI-powered tools to automate research, check for cultural nuances, and get a head start on documentation. This means less time slogging through manual work and more time learning and contributing meaningfully.

Automated Market Intel Briefings

Imagine an AI agent scanning local news, competitor announcements, and regulatory updates in your target markets overnight. You'll wake up to a concise, synthesised briefing that gives you the key insights you need, saving you hours of manual digging. You'll be reviewing and summarising, not starting from scratch.

Cultural Resonance Pre-Checks

Before sending marketing copy or imagery off for full human translation, you can use an AI tool to pre-screen it for potential cultural misinterpretations or negative connotations in target countries. This helps catch obvious red flags early, preventing costly reworks and awkward brand moments down the line.

First-Draft Content Generation

Need to draft a basic email for regional teams, a social media post, or even a simple internal update? Generative AI can create a solid first draft in minutes. You'll then refine it, add your specific details, and ensure it meets our brand guidelines, but you won't be staring at a blank page.

Smart Scheduling & Coordination

AI-powered scheduling tools can help you find optimal meeting times across multiple time zones, taking into account holidays and working hours. This reduces the back-and-forth of trying to coordinate global calls, making your life (and everyone else's) much easier.
