Main Purpose of the Role

Welocalize is currently looking for a linguistic QC (quality check) with nursing and/or medical experience to review sensitive Life Sciences documents within the pharmacovigilance domain. This is a freelance remote role.

At Welocalize we collaborate with different Life Sciences clients. We offer several services, including a linguistic final quality check of pharmacovigilance documents. Such documents are translated and reviewed from various languages into English by professional translators qualified in the subject matter. However, we need to make sure that the final version of the files is spotless and perfectly understandable by the target audience. This is way we need to rely on the expertise of a qualified professional, like a nurse or a medical doctor, to have the final say on the accuracy and understanding of the final document, by performing a linguistic quality check.

For this role, you will be asked to review English-US documents to confirm that the content is accurate, consistent and free from errors. Since the files will be translated from Spanish knowledge of this language is needed.

Successful candidates will be provided with a paid training and CAT tool access.

Please, note that this is not a translation or a proofreading role, but a final linguistic quality check.
