Localization Project Manager (for Canadian residents only)

  • Full-time

Company Description

Are you looking for a new age working environment with a team of fun, creative and passionate people who love their jobs and enjoy autonomy in the work place? Are you excited about being one of the first contributors to corporate growth and being able to see the outcome of your work and innovation? At Globalme, we all work and collaborate together on expanding the company’s operations, and share credit. In fact, glory hogs don’t last long here. Nor people who tear down others’ ideas instead of developing their own. When smart people collaborate together, amazing things happen.


To be honest, Globalme is not for everyone. If you are a person who always tries to find excuses for why something is not working or cannot be done, or delivers average quality work, this place is not for you. But if you have a big brain and would like to use it, then you need to apply. Now.
