Support development of glossaries, style guides, QA checklists, review processes, and localization assets
Become a go-to partner for translation questions related to -specific concepts, product terminology, and training context
Support QA of technical implementation in eLearning authoring tools and LMS environments (course files, quizzes, answer selections)

Strong understanding of localization workflows, including vendor collaboration, review cycles, glossaries, style guides, QA rubrics, and linguistic QA
Experience with Japanese localization QA, ideally for SaaS, technical training, customer education, or partner enablement content
Ability to review translated content for quality, clarity, terminology accuracy, cultural nuance, and learner comprehension
Familiarity with eLearning or LMS tools; experience with platforms like Skilljar or Parta authoring tools is a plus
Comfort working with technical or product-specific terminology that may not translate directly
Strong attention to detail, especially in learner-facing content, quizzes, course setup, formatting, and implementation QA
Strong project management skills and ability to bring structure into ambiguous areas
We want all of our learners should feel like training content was made for them — not simply translated for them. High-quality localization has a direct impact on learner trust, comprehension, launch readiness, and regional enablement outcomes.
This role will help Customer Education and Partner Enablement move faster while raising the quality bar: reducing rework, catching issues before launch, improving vendor feedback loops, and creating a clearer, more repeatable operating model for training localization
This is a 6-month, part-time role with option to extend. Preferred location is Tokyo , but we're open to remote applicants with strong Japanese market expertise and timezone overlap with Japan and 's International Experience team.
Availability: 20 hours/week
You don’t need deep AI expertise for every role, but we do expect every Notino to be intellectually curious, drawn to tinkering and discovery, and excited to use AI as a real collaborator in their work. For some roles, AI fluency is a core requirement — when that’s the case, we'll say so explicitly in the qualifications. People who thrive here don’t treat AI as a novelty. They use it to think better, and make their work easier for others to build on.
