What is FluentU?
FluentU is an education company founded in 2011 that helps people learn languages with real-world videos, including movie trailers, music videos, news, and inspiring talks. We have a website, iOS app (usually in the top 20-50 grossing iOS education apps), and Android app. We’re a profitable, stable company with long-term focus, and we’re proudly self-funded.
[Job Description]
We are looking for an Italian content editor, who can create useful and intriguing content for our users.
[Job Details]
- Creating Italian learning content: the main work involves curating Italian language videos, transcribing captions, translating them into English, annotating words (defining words and writing example sentences), creating vocabulary flashcard sets and Italian 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 Italian and English language and language learning: you need to have a good understanding of Italian and English grammar and their structures.
- At least 1 year of experience in Italian education/translation or linguistic fields: you will need to understand the Italian 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.
Please note that there will be a test which simulates actual FluentU work, and that also the first 90 days are a trial period. It's just hard to tell whether we are mutually a good fit without actually working together. (Don't worry, of course, you are still paid as usual during the trial period). Passing the trial will result in an ongoing position at our company.
