Medical Translators - Quechua - 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 Quechua 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 a Quechua‑English medical translation sample (≈500‑800 words) that includes patient records, clinical trial protocols, or regulatory labeling, and annotate it with a brief commentary on how you ensured GxP compliance and ISO 1710 terminology consistency. Attach the file as a protected PDF and reference it in your cover letter.
- Create an Excel dashboard (one sheet) summarizing your relevant experience: columns for project type (pharma, device, biotech), word count, regulatory standards applied (e.g., FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EU MDR), and any quality‑assurance metrics (error rate, client QA score). Mention this spreadsheet in your resume and be ready to discuss it during the interview.
- Highlight certifications and training that LILT values: e.g., a certified Medical Translator credential, a GxP/ISO 1710 course, or a completed FDA regulatory writing workshop. List them prominently in a “Regulatory & Quality Expertise” section and be prepared to explain how each certification impacts your translation workflow.
- During the interview, demonstrate familiarity with LILT’s AI‑augmented workflow by describing a scenario where you reviewed machine‑generated Quechua output, flagged compliance issues, and applied post‑editing rules that align with LILT’s quality‑control SOPs. Bring a short screen‑recorded walkthrough if possible.
- When discussing compensation, reference the industry median for senior Quechua medical translators (US $0.18‑$0.25 per source word) and factor in remote‑work allowances. Prepare a range based on your proven GxP track record and be ready to negotiate a mix of per‑word rates plus a quarterly bonus tied to on‑time regulatory submission accuracy.
