Project Manager (Transcreation)

We’re looking for a Korean-speaking Project Manager with Translation/Transcreation and Copywriting skills to act as the key connector between the Korean market and regional/offshore creative teams – helping to bring structure to workflows, clarity to briefs, and stronger local relevance to the work being delivered. It is ideal for someone who can move comfortably between project management, stakeholder coordination, copywriting, translation, and transcreation, while bringing a sharp local lens to the creative process.

You’ll help ensure that work is not only delivered on time, but also lands well in market — with the right language, tone, cultural nuance, and consumer relevance

About the Role Market Liaison & Stakeholder Management • Act as the primary day-to-day point of contact between the South Korea market and the regional/offshore creative teams. • Facilitate clear, proactive communication across local, regional, and offshore stakeholders, ensuring alignment throughout project delivery. • Manage expectations, close communication gaps quickly, and help ensure the work reflects both business priorities and local market realities.

Briefing, Copywriting, Translation & Transcreation • Interpret, translate, and transcreate briefs, feedback, and revisions between Korean- and English-speaking stakeholders. • Support the development of copy, messaging, and creative recommendations where needed, ensuring outputs feel natural, relevant, and high quality in Korean. • Provide guidance on language nuance, cultural sensitivities, and local consumer relevance so creative work is not just translated, but truly adapted for the market.

Project Management & Creative Quality Control • Coordinate project timelines, priorities, dependencies, and deliverables in partnership with offshore project management and creative teams. • Monitor progress closely, flag risks early, and help unblock issues on the ground before they affect delivery. • Review creative outputs before they are shared with market stakeholders, ensuring they align with the brief, brand guidelines, and local expectations. • Provide informed, constructive feedback to strengthen creative quality and improve the effectiveness of the final work.
