Localization Intern

Supercell is now offering a perfect chance for you, a future Project Manager / Manager, to get to know the world of localization and to take your first steps towards your dream career as a Localization Intern! 

In this position you will be working closely with Supercell’s internal Localization team, internal game teams, and external Localization teams that are located in Tokyo and Dublin. Supercell’s goal is to expose you to a wide variety of localization and translation-related projects so you can understand what it is like to work as a Localization Manager or as a Project Manager in a company like Supercell. As a Localization Intern at Supercell you will be helping and observing Supercell’s internal Localization team and the external Localization team’s Project Managers in their day-to-day operations. You will be exploring new tech solutions and solving various requests related to game texts, support materials, community texts, marketing campaigns, game subtitles, scripts and voice overs. Your specific tasks will be however assigned based on your skills and interests.

This internship is ideal for a language / translation student, who is dreaming of a future career as a Project Manager / Manager in the world of localization and who already has some knowledge of localization tools and translation processes. We hope you have at least 180 ECTS credits (or equivalent) of language / translation studies done and you are curious to learn more about the localization and translation-related matters in a creative industry full of its own twists and turns. If you also love to ask questions and have a proactive, unprompted and communicative working style, this position is just right for you.

Practicalities:

This is a full-time and fixed-term position (4 months), in which you will be employed directly to Supercell. The preferred starting date is in the Winter / Spring of 2025, ideally in January. This position is located at Supercell's headquarters in Helsinki, but you’ll be able to work with flexible working hours and you’ll also have the possibility to work remotely from time to time. You should however be primarily based in the Helsinki metropolitan area as the position requires active presence at Supercell’s office. During your internship you also get a chance to travel to Dublin to meet the Localization team face-to-face and work as a Project Manager for one month. Salary in this position is approximately 2600€/month (gross) depending on the level of your experience, and will be negotiated individually.
