How can someone find a job localizing marketing content (taking poorly translated material and fixing it up for US consumers)? I've heard that it's a real job but can't find much information about it

The title is usually some variation of "content & localization" and they are definitely out there :) It's also an industry where freelancers can do extremely well.

This is an extremely popular role for freelancers, especially when working with e-commerce brands. You should be able to find plenty of localization roles if you look on different freelancing platforms.

Totally in my wheelhouse! I do a lot of this type of work on a freelance basis. It is great work but not necessarily steady, as a lot of companies need content for only one specific purpose (like a user manual or a website) instead of ongoing work. So it takes some looking around but if you try out a few freelance sites that is usually a great way to get your start, my favorite is Upwork even though they take 20% of whatever you earn
