Operations

Responsible for the entire life cycle of clients’ projects, we develop project plans and workflows and ensure high quality control. Plan the required steps and procedure for the translation project, from conducting the initial project analysis and developing the project plan, to contracting with other parties and overseeing the appropriate steps in the project’s development. Focus on the process and on the client’s requirements. Liaise with sales staff to clarify project parameters, time and budget resources. Identify and document opportunities to improve the production processes continuously.
