Interpreter & Translator Jobs

What does it mean to be a freelance partner?

We want to be clear about what partnering with us looks like. The opportunities on this page are for independent contractors (1099) – not full-time, corporate (W-2) positions.

As a freelance partner, you are an independent business owner. This means:

  • You are your own boss. You will have the flexibility to accept or decline assignments based on your schedule.
  • It is project-based. You are contracted for specific translation projects or interpreting assignments.
  • You manage your own business. As a contractor, you will be responsible for your own taxes, equipment, and business expenses.

 

This partnership is ideal for language professionals who value flexibility and control over their work.

Don't see your language or location listed? Apply anyway!

These openings show our most immediate needs, but our clients’ requests change every day. We are constantly growing our network of language professionals in all language pairs and specialties.

Submitting your qualifications today allows our talent team to find you when the perfect project comes in.
