Medical Translators - Bengali - US-based
Job Description
About The Opportunity We are currently searching for linguists to join our Medical Talent Community. Given the highly regulated nature of the products in the Bengali market, we are looking for senior linguists with a proven track record specifically within the Life Sciences vertical. We prioritize linguists who understand the nuances of Patient Records and Clinical Protocols. Your specialized expertise will contribute to high-stakes medical and regulatory content. What You’ll Deliver - Regulatory Review: Adapting and validating target text to meet compliance standards.
- Life Sciences Expertise: Demonstrable experience in translating for pharmaceuticals, medical devices, or biotechnology.
- Standard Operating Procedures: Ability to work within strict GxP environments and adhere to ISO 17100 quality standards.
- The ability to follow terminology and reference materials precisely.
- Professional experience in translation and localization within the Medical/Life Sciences domains.
- Your schedule, your rules. As an independent contractor, work when you want, as much or as little as you want. No fixed hours, no check-ins, no micromanaging.
- Get paid quickly and fairly. We respect your time and your expertise. Competitive rates, prompt payments, no chasing invoices.
- Work on projects that actually matter.
- Be part of something bigger. Join a global community of linguists, subject matter experts, and language professionals who are advancing human knowledge together.
- Grow without limits. As a Lilt contractor, you get access to diverse, innovative projects that expand your portfolio and sharpen your skills across industries and domains.
- Have fun doing what you love.
- Requires reliable availability and commitment.
- Geographic restrictions may apply. We cannot engage contractors in regions subject to international embargo or sanctions.
How to Stand Out
- Showcase Bengali Life‑Sciences translation samples (e.g., de‑identified patient record excerpts, clinical protocol sections, or regulatory submission excerpts) in a clean, Excel‑based terminology matrix that highlights source/target terms, context notes, and compliance flags—LILT’s recruiters specifically request a “quick‑view” Excel file to assess terminology consistency and GxP awareness.
- Highlight any ISO 17100/ISO 1710 certification or formal GxP training on your résumé and be ready to discuss concrete examples of how you applied SOPs, audit trails, and change‑control procedures in previous projects; interviewers probe for “real‑world” compliance experience, not just theoretical knowledge.
- Prepare a one‑page case study of a high‑stakes regulatory review you led (e.g., FDA/EMA submission, medical device labeling) that details the workflow, tools (CAT tools, Excel, terminology databases), validation steps, and the outcome (approval, reduced time‑to‑market). LILT values candidates who can articulate process improvements and risk‑mitigation tactics.
- Research LILT’s AI‑augmented translation platform (e.g., Lilt’s Adaptive Neural Machine Translation) and be ready to discuss how you would integrate human post‑editing with the system while maintaining strict compliance; cite any prior experience collaborating with MT engines or building custom glossaries in Excel.
- When negotiating salary, reference current market rates for senior Bengali medical translators in the US (typically $80‑$110 k base) and factor in remote‑work allowances; bring a brief comparison sheet (Excel) of peer salaries, your certifications, and years of life‑sciences experience to justify a higher‑end offer.
