What we’re expecting

While we respect contractors’ flexibility and ownership of their own schedule, we expect the localizer/writer to work for 15 – 20 hours a week on average. It is highly likely that more than 20 hours a week is appreciated, depending on the workload and the availability. We completely understand that availability may fluctuate and we also respect contractors’ request to take time off. But we also expect a somewhat regular work schedule or hours in most occasions. All in all, maintaining clear communication with the manager is certainly expected.

• Do your life's work with people you’ll love working with.
• Global in nature with opportunities to talk to users in various regions and travel.
