Project Manager from January 2005 until present

Linguist Project Manager coordinating the work of translators, MTPE editors, reviewers, DTP specialists and subtitlers in a myriad of translation/localisation projects following the most regid industry standards regarding quality assurance, monitoring and compliance at all stages of a project.

I am highly computer-literate and possess an extensive knowledge of the latest techniques, applications and resources in this industry in order to localise all types of materials, including websites, software applications, hard copies, technical documents, PDF’s, brochures and marketing materials, etc.

I work on multiple management platforms (Plunet, Wordbee, XTRF, etc.) and a wide range of CAT tools including Trados Studio, Wordfast, Memoq, Phrase, Smartcat, etc. Most recently, being a PM coordinator for US Translation Company (UT, USA), I used Plunet Business Manager coupled with MemoQ Manager in order to produce the most efficient results in management -from interacting with clients, producing quotes, launching complex projects, follow-up and deliver according to deadlines, issue invoices and wrap up projects in the system.
