DESCRIPTION

The Amazon Devices Localization team is seeking a Canadian French Localization Editor who is passionate about language, quality, and customer experience. As part of our Editorial team, you will be responsible for the linguistic quality of Canadian French content across the Amazon Devices Canadian portfolio, including Alexa, Fire TV, Kindle, and much more.

This role is for someone who obsesses over details, thrives in ambiguity, and brings strong linguistic expertise paired with a builder’s mindset. You’ll work at the intersection of content, tech, and global customer experience, helping our French-speaking customers in Canada understand, enjoy and engage with our products.

Key job responsibilities

• Own end-to-end linguistic quality for Canadian French content across device software, marketing, and packaging.
• Develop, evolve, and evangelize style guides, terminology, and editorial standards for Canadian French.
• Provide guidance and feedback to external vendors and internal stakeholders to ensure scalable, high-quality localization.
• Partner with localization program managers, localization & QA engineers, and development teams to ensure linguistic quality and launch readiness
• Proactively identify localization issues and customer-facing risks, engage with corporate and in-country partner teams to drive solutions, and escalate where needed.
• Analyze customer feedback, analytics, and team data to continually improve our Canadian French content experience.
• Contribute to cross-language editorial initiatives that improve consistency, efficiency, and impact at scale.

A day in the life

You’ll work closely with fellow editors, program managers, and software and QA engineers to shape the Amazon Devices customer experience in Canadian French. Your day may include localizing high-visibility content for Alexa or Fire TV, or marketing copy for the next product detail page on our website, leading vendor meetings, running linguistic quality reviews, updating the Canadian French style guide, or validating terminology for an unreleased device. You’ll be part of a collaborative team that thrives on quality, clarity, and customer obsession. We move quickly when it matters, operate at global scale, and continuously raise the bar for localized content that resonates with customers.
