Localisation Manager

Are you a talented project manager with a passion for languages? Ready to take on a wide-ranging role with a global impact? Then you could be the perfect fit.

Our story (the bitesize version)

Since our first order way back in 2000, we’ve grown from a small Dutch business to a global food delivery company. As Just Eat Takeaway.com, we now deliver dishes across 25 countries on 5 continents.

With customers from Rotterdam to Rio de Janeiro, we need to ensure that everything we produce has the right ingredients for the local market. That’s where you come in.

All about the role

As our Localisation Manager, your work has a huge reach. Managing localisation projects and requirements for departments across our business, your work enables us to attract customers in a growing number of markets.
