Description

We’re a full-service ad agency in London Ontario seeking a creative and professional

translator who can confirm that we’re communicating correctly in both of Canada’s

official languages. The content has already been translated or transcreated from

English into French (Quebec); you’ll check it for accuracy, quality, consistency, style

and audience appropriateness. You’ll be working with a wide range of materials –

website copy, print ads, users’ guides, catalogues, social media and blog posts etc. –

for an equally diverse range of clients.

Who You Are

You are a fluent French (Canada) speaker with near-native fluency in English, and a

knack for nuance. You can spot a typo at ten paces; you live to find (and fix) “mistakes”

in everything you read. You’re comfortable in a large, fast-paced corporate environment,

and can work with both introverts and extroverts with tact and understanding. You’re

enthusiastic, curious and resourceful.

• Ensure that message and meaning are communicated correctly and consistently,

• Ensure that deliverables meet the highest quality standards

• Contribute to a dynamic and engaged corporate culture
