Project-based learning in higher education allows translation students to develop competencies and skills and learn more about the work of a project manager (PM). However, in the transition from university to work, the novice professional translator is exposed to the expectations of the job market. This study aims to describe the learning experiences of professional translators who have recently started working in the job market as project managers in a translation company based in Lima, Peru. Unstructured interviews were conducted with two Translation Back Office (TBO) leaders to get a first context on project management in this translation company. In addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted with five TBO PMs to learn about their learning experiences in the workplace. The results of the study show that autonomy, proactivity, organization, assertiveness, and professionalism are the skills that TBO PMs claim to have acquired or developed while working as translation project managers. This learning is facilitated by a work environment that promotes dialogue and contact between experienced and inexperienced employees.
