Description:

We’re hiring a detail-oriented Translation Specialist to join our team and ensure accurate translations across multiple languages. You’ll be responsible for translating written documents, audio, and video content from one language to another, ensuring meaning is preserved. You’ll collaborate with other departments to ensure translations are aligned with company messaging and industry standards. You’ll work on translating documents, websites, marketing materials, and more, ensuring that the original meaning is preserved. You’ll manage the translation process from start to finish, handling everything from initial translation to final review. You’ll ensure all translated content is properly formatted, taking into account industry-specific terminology and client preferences. You’ll use translation tools and software to maintain consistency and improve efficiency across projects. You’ll participate in quality assurance processes to review translations, ensuring they meet client specifications and standards.

Basic Qualifications:

• Review source material for errors or inconsistencies before translating—flagging any issues that could affect quality.
• Handle confidential documents responsibly, following any required NDAs or data protection guidelines.
• Deliver translations in the required formats (Word, Excel, HTML, SRT, etc.) while preserving layout and structure.
• Respect deadlines and deliver high-quality translations on time, even under tight turnaround conditions.
• Communicate with clients or project managers to clarify context, resolve ambiguities, and meet formatting or delivery expectations.

Preferred:

• Willing to follow style guides and formatting instructions for consistency.
• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment and receiving feedback from editors.
• Excited to help individuals and organizations reach new audiences through language.
• Familiar with CAT tools like SDL Trados, Smartcat, or Memsource is a plus.
• Capable of handling tight deadlines while maintaining high linguistic quality.

Benefits:

• Training, webinars, and paid resources to help you sharpen both languages you work with.
• You’re not just translating text — you’re translating *intent*, *emotion*, and *function*.
• Flexible hours — translate when your brain is sharp, your tea is warm, and your tabs are quiet.
• You’ll be trusted to suggest edits, flag inconsistencies, and question awkward source text.
• We treat feedback as collaboration, not correction — we want to grow with you.

You’ll maintain consistency in terminology and ensure adherence to project guidelines across all translations. You’ll stay up-to-date with industry trends and translation technologies, continuously improving your translation skills. You’ll provide feedback to improve translation processes and suggest better tools or techniques for more efficient work. You’ll participate in quality control processes, reviewing and refining translations to meet client expectations. You’ll participate in team meetings to discuss translation requirements, goals, and strategies for improvement. You’ll collaborate with other translators to provide the best possible translations while ensuring cohesive team output. This remote position allows you to work flexibly, contributing to diverse projects while expanding your professional experience. If you have a passion for language and precision, we’d love to have you on our team as a Translation Specialist.
