Consult with game studios and content owners on Italian age rating requirements, terminology usage, and visual/language compliance
Lead VO casting, script review, and direct creative sessions during Italian voiceover production
Regularly review in-development and near-final builds to audit for tone, consistency, and cultural resonance
Recommend and help implement process improvements that improve quality, reduce error rates, or optimize turnaround time for Italian localization
Participate in Global Loc 2.0 initiatives, working with senior leadership to shape evolving localization standards, practices, and tooling
