NICE TO MEET YOU
We're the only full-scale translation agency for the outdoor industry, and we do what it says on the tin: we work exclusively with outdoor and action sports brands like Patagonia, Salomon, O'Neill, Peak Performance, and more. You can find out more about us here: www.theactionsportstranslator.com
We understand our clients' customers because we are them: we buy their gear, head out into the great outdoors and experience nature and the mountains – we LIVE for adventure.
Most of our work revolves around localizing and transcreating ecommerce and marketing content like product descriptions, landing pages, website content, marketing campaigns, newsletters, SEO articles, video content, and more. Sometimes, we also help our clients with content and copy creation in English and more rarely in other European languages.
Although we're primarily a translation agency, many of our clients also need support with copy and content creation.
This is why we are on the hunt for experienced copywriters who know how to tell a good story and are familiar with the technicalities of outdoor gear. You should be comfortable raising questions and questioning the source copy, apply critical thinking and extreme ownership over your work.
WHAT WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR
We are not looking for people who have no professional copywriting experience/qualifications.
We are not looking to hire permanent employees or to contract other agencies.
We are not looking for professional copywriters who have no experience in creating copy for ecom and catalog product descriptions.
And we are not looking for professional copywriters who don't have a passion for/are not familiar with mountain, winter and snow sports. If you're into mainstream sports like football, rugby, tennis, etc. or other outdoor sports that have nothing to do with mountain and winter sports, your application won't be considered.
WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT FROM WORKING WITH US
As a fully remote translation company where every one of us is extremely passionate about the outdoors, it's safe to say that our environment is pretty unique :)
You'll be working with a team of world-class translators, editors and writers, who all share the love for action sports AND the same exceptionally high standards when it comes to our work – and you'll be writing copy for some of the world's most iconic and exciting action and outdoor sports brands. You probably already own a piece or two of their gear!
All of our project managers have extensive backgrounds and experience as freelance translators and writers, so we put a huge focus on treating our collaborators in the same way we would like others to treat us – from our project briefs to how we communicate.
From us, you can expect:
Respectful onboarding practices
Respectful deadlines
Respectful, open and clear communication
Respectful project assignment practices
Clear project briefings
Respectful payment practices
A collaborative environment
