[Hiring] Freelance Translation Support – English to French @HelloFresh

Role Description

HelloFresh Benelux is looking for a freelance English-to-French translator to support our French recipe content production. In this role, you will work closely with our internal French translator/editor to translate, edit, and adapt recipe content while ensuring consistency with the HelloFresh tone of voice and culinary terminology standards. This is a long-term freelance collaboration consisting of weekly structural support, alongside additional coverage during holiday periods.

• Translate recipe content from English into French in Google Sheets, including:
  • Recipe titles
  • Subtitles
  • Step-by-step cooking instructions
• Edit and refine existing recipes requiring updates, revisions, or text alterations.
• Ensure all French culinary terminology aligns with the HelloFresh writing style guide and brand tone of voice throughout all translation and editing tasks.
• Collaborate closely with the internal French translator/editor and the editing team to support the editing team’s workflows.
• Help maintain quality and continuity during holiday coverage periods.
• The role will potentially shift more toward editing and refinement of AI-assisted translations over time.

Qualifications

• You are a native French speaker (preferably from Wallonia) with excellent English comprehension.
• Experience in translation and editing, or copywriting.
• Strong attention to detail and consistency in language and tone.
• Familiarity with culinary terminology and food-related content.
• Ability to work independently and manage deadlines effectively.
• Previous experience in food, e-commerce, or consumer brands is a plus.

Requirements

• All contingent workers engaged by HelloFresh must hold valid professional liability insurance that is valid in the Netherlands.
• If we decide to move forward together and you are not yet insured, you will be required to arrange this insurance before starting the assignment.

Benefits

• Working environment & collaboration: You’ll work in a fast-paced, international environment alongside experienced professionals from diverse backgrounds. We value clear communication, ownership, and initiative, and we encourage you to contribute ideas, challenge the status quo, and help improve how we work together.
• Impact & autonomy: You’ll have the freedom to organize your work independently within agreed scopes and deliverables, while collaborating closely with your key stakeholders. We focus on outcomes rather than hours, and we appreciate proactive professionals who take responsibility for their work.
• Lunch & Office: When working from our Amsterdam office, you’ll join freshly prepared lunches for €3 per day and take part in our open, informal office culture.
