French Content Editor

Job Description

We are looking for a French content editor, who can create useful and intriguing content for our users.

Job Details

– Creating French learning content: the main work involves curating French language videos, transcribing captions, translating them into English, annotating words (defining words and writing example sentences), creating vocabulary flashcard sets and French learning courses.

– Adapting new software: be ready to learn a variety of platforms through which we communicate and assign tasks. Previous experience with Asana and/or Slack is a plus.

– Cooperation: collaborate with other editors to find the best ways to provide language learning services.

How we work

– We’re a 100% distributed/remote team.

– All of our communication is text-based (mostly via Asana) and we have a low-stress environment.

– We also have a flat collaborative environment.

– We make decisions based on logic/reason. We prioritize communicating clearly.

– We can be direct with our feedback.

Job Requirements

– A love of language education: we are looking for someone who is passionate about language education, and someone who believes in the changes it can provide for language learners.

– Knowledge of French and English language and language learning: you need to have a good understanding of French and English grammar and their structures.

– At least 1 year of experience in French education/translation or linguistic fields: you will need to understand the French learner’s point of view to create content. Understanding the challenges that learners face and how to guide them are very important parts of the job.

– Strong editing skills and attention to detail: the content you curate will create a strong impression on our users, and professionalism, along with accuracy in the completion of your work, is a must.

– The ability to work remotely with a team: our team is distributed around the globe. While working remotely sounds great at first, if you haven’t done it before, you’ll find that there are many challenges and it’s not necessarily a perfect fit for everyone.

– Having a self-driven and productive attitude: you have to be able to get things done and be ready for a high level of freedom and responsibility.

– Strong written communications: being an organized and clear communicator is key.

– Stable commitment: being able to work 15-20 hours per week on a regular, long-term basis.
