To be successful in this role, you should have a keen eye for detail and be fluent in English in addition to your native language.

Good knowledge of content editing tools

Benefits
For the first 6 months, we are offering payment per hour. The reason we’re offering hourly compensation is that our copies are shorter and more tricky compared to other texts. We count the time our translators spend on researching and brainstorming too (as well as proofreading of course). Then, we aim for a 10% increment in your first year working with us. We currently have a team of 15+ translators and our translations team is constantly growing!
Here’s how to apply:#1 Apply for the job by filling out the application form.
