  • Strong time management skills with a track record of meeting deadlines in a remote environment.
  • Solid editing and proofreading capabilities for self-review and quality assurance.

Desirable Skills:

  • Familiarity with localization practices for websites, software, or digital content.
  • Experience working on multi-language or large-scale translation projects.
  • Ability to adapt writing style for different audiences and content types.
