Bellroy - Native Italian Translation Verifier

Bellroy is an Australian-based carry brand with strong purpose, and great care for helping the world – and our people – flourish. We geek out on performance and technology, balanced with the beauty of design and love of a good story. We are committed to making sure our brand and product copy can be clear, motivational and culturally relevant to as many people around the world. Our ecommerce website – bellroy.com, and other digital marketplaces including Amazon are currently available in 9 languages, including Italian. And that’s where you come in! We’re seeking a bilingual Italian/English speaker with an excellent grasp of language, spelling and grammar to proofread Italian translations for our website copy, written for an Italian-speaking audience. Someone with excellent attention to detail and solid understanding of what good web copy should look like, who can detect inconsistencies and challenge oddities. Someone who will be committed to ensuring that the Italian copy is not only localized, but also remains true to our brand tone of voice. We have a fairly constant stream of new products and campaigns launching, so we need someone who wants a long-term thing. The hours change week-to-week, but if you can give us some flexibility (and good work), we will give you long-term commitment and inclusion in a business that values its people. This role is currently on a freelance basis, with variable hours. You will be required to proofread and verify the quality of translated content once the Italian translator notifies you that it’s ready. We will pay you accordingly for your verifications by the hour. The scope of the work varies, sometimes it’s a couple of headlines and other times a complete product page or full campaign (with landing pages and so on). Currently, we estimate a range between 6-10 hours per month, every month, on an ongoing basis. *** Here’s what you bring to the table. Fluency in Italian and English – native Italian preferred. Strong attention to detail – enabling you to identify errors of all kinds in written Italian copy and provide suggestions for amendments where necessary. Responsiveness, and a flexible schedule. Sometimes we need to meet tight deadlines, so it’s really helpful if you’re able to respond quickly. Expected turnaround times are generally 1 week from allocation to completion, and an urgent one might be needed within 3 days. We don’t expect you to be on call, or to turn anything around in less than 3 days. An understanding of web content and product design, and an interest in the way people carry, commute, and travel. An understanding of what resonates well with a Italian-speaking audience, and an ability to edit copy to better suit the Italian audience. Experience with translating Amazon content is a bonus. Experience using Phrase(.com) would be amazing too! (But not mandatory.) Here’s what we bring to the table. Full onboarding to our team, processes, brand mission and philosophies. Direct access to our copy/creative team for all jobs. Flexible hours – you work when it suits you, as long as it’s within our requested deadlines. Regular campaign messaging updates and product information to give you full context of what you're writing about. Appreciation of good work. Inclusion in a company that cares about its people (and the world as a whole – hence the effort to translate our website into the world's languages!). We can’t wait to hear from you!
