Job description

About Side

Side is a global video game development and services provider, working with some of the world’s leading developers and studios.

With over 20 years’ experience in games dialogue, audio production, localisation, LQA, player support, QA, art production and game development, Side supports clients across every genre, platform and language. Our teams combine technical expertise, creative judgement and production discipline to help deliver high-quality content for global audiences.

We are now looking for a Language Checker Coordinator to join our Audio Post Production team in London.

The Role

As a Language Checker Coordinator, you will support the Post Production team in ensuring that daily “As Recorded” scripts are accurately maintained, transcribed and checked against audio files within agreed timelines.

This is a coordination-focused role within a fast-paced audio post production environment. You will help ensure that active projects are organised, scripts are updated correctly, audio and dialogue checks are completed accurately, and key project information is maintained across the team.

You will work closely with the wider Post Production team, supporting incoming and active projects while coordinating with a diverse range of internal colleagues and external linguistic talent. The role would suit someone highly organised, detail-focused and confident managing several moving parts at once.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Proofread and QA-check audio files against dialogue scripts through transcription and review.
• Maintain and update “As Recorded” scripts, including adjusting text and adding notes line by line where required.
• Identify and record issues such as poor pronunciation, incorrect text, grammar issues or script inconsistencies.
• Support the team in keeping project files, trackers, servers and LQA updates accurate and up to date.
• Assist with data entry, project tracking and day-to-day coordination across active Post Production work.
• Support management in sourcing appropriate linguistic talent for upcoming projects.
• Help train new talent on language checking workflows, practices and protocols.
• Collaborate closely with the wider Post Production team to support active and upcoming work.
• Follow individual project specifications, requirements and delivery expectations.
• Support the team with general Post Production tasks where required.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong Excel and Google Sheets skills.
• Good working knowledge of Google Workspace.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects, tasks and priorities at once.
• High attention to detail and accuracy when checking scripts, audio and project information.
• Confidence working in a fast-paced production environment with changing priorities.
• A proactive, resourceful and team-focused approach.
• Good problem-solving skills and the ability to work with people at different levels across the business.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Google Apps Script or similar workflow automation tools.
• Previous experience in audio, localisation, LQA, games, media production or post production.
• Experience working with scripts, transcripts, dialogue, subtitles or production trackers.

Working at Side

You will be joining an easy-going, collaborative and experienced Audio Post Production team. The team is dynamic, usually around six to seven people, and works closely together to deliver high-quality audio and dialogue services for clients across the games and digital media industries.

This is a strong opportunity for someone who enjoys coordination, accuracy, problem-solving and working with creative production teams in a specialist audio environment.

Additional Information

This is a casual contract role based in London, with hybrid working available. Candidates must be based in London or able to commute when required.
