🎓 “Apprentissage/alternance” contract to get a Master's degree related to the translation industry

💼 >6 month experience in Localization

📍 Paris

🏠 Office + remote work (2 optional remote working days per week)

🌍 Lucca is getting global! For this job, the required level in English and French is C1 (reading, writing, listening, speaking)

Context

Our company, Lucca, develops SaaS solutions to increase employee efficiency and engagement.

We address the main administrative and HR management areas: time and activities, annual reviews, employee pulse surveys, expense reports, etc.

Our solutions are now used by over one million users in all types of companies (from the chic hotel chain Accor to the surf brand Rip Curl) and particularly in those with strong growth developing internationally (Novo Nordisk, Nexthink, Michel&Augustin). While we operate in the very serious field of management tools, our work is guided by the belief that management software doesn't have to be gray, ugly, or boring. That is why we attach great importance to the design of our interfaces and the user experience.

In 2022, Lucca celebrated its 20th anniversary and embarked on its internationalization journey by establishing its first two subsidiaries outside of France, in Barcelona and Geneva… to be continued this year with the opening of our office in Munich!

2022 is also the year when we started to professionalize our Localization approach (first hire, TMS implementation, etc.) and we now want to grow the team to consolidate our internationalization.

Our software interfaces are currently available in more than 7 languages (French, English, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese) and our Sales and Customer Success teams support our clients in 4 of them.

As the number of clients operating in various countries increases, we want to offer them the best user experience, and this means improving the availability and quality of translations for both software and documentation.

Your mission

With the aim of progressively improving language availability and quality, we are seeking an Apprentice to join our Localization expertise within the International Cooperation team.
