Description
We are seeking highly skilled, and professional interpreters for Mandarin to English and English to Mandarin translation to join our candidate pool in Taiwan, collaborating closely with international clients. Ideal candidates will possess strong language interpretation skills and cultural competency. We welcome individuals who have spent considerable time overseas or hold a degree in English, Linguistics, or a related field. We are looking for mid-career professionals with experience in interpreting as part of an organization, as well as experience in freelance interpreting and translating. We embrace the ethos that a good interpreter commands the room, conveys the message—not just the words—and utilizes circumlocution to address gaps in technical lexicon.
This position is located onsite in Taipei, Taiwan.
Essential Duties & Responsibilities
- Provide real-time Mandarin/English interpretation for meetings, conferences, and client interactions. Candidates will be expected to cover multiple counties on the main island of Taiwan and may need to travel within their region as necessary, with or without company travel compensation.
- Assist international clients in understanding local culture, regulations, and business practices.
- Facilitate clear communication between English-speaking and Mandarin-speaking parties in various settings.
- Translate written documents, emails, and presentations as required. Remote work with flexible hours will occasionally be available based on the company’s needs. Employees will be expected to use their own computers for translation tasks.
- Support VIP visits, international business engagements, and events.
- Maintain professionalism and confidentiality in all interpretations/translations.
- An NDA (non-disclosure agreement) may be required prior to employment.
Required Skills & Experience
- Valid US Passport
- Fluent in both Mandarin (Traditional) and English (written and spoken).
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Proven experience in simultaneous and consecutive interpretation, with preference for candidates familiar with technical, business, or technology related subject matter.
- Ability to work in fast-paced environments and manage multiple tasks.
- Standard Workweek: The standard workweek is 40 hours; however, surge assignments may necessitate 50 or 60 hours, including weekends and holidays, depending on the project's demands.
- Candidates should demonstrate strong code-switching ability and the capacity to rapidly learn and apply new terminology across operational, technical, and military contexts.
- Overseas experience or exposure to diverse cultures (highly preferred).
Desired Skills & Experience
- Familiarity with international business protocols and cross-cultural communication.
- Experience working with multinational teams or clients. (Include time spent in overseas working environments)
- Preference will be given to candidates with military experience.
- Bachelor’s degree or higher from an accredited university in an English-speaking country (highly preferred).
