• Regulatory Review: Adapting and validating target text to meet U.S. healthcare compliance standards.
• Life Sciences Expertise: Demonstrable experience in translating for healthcare, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, or clinical settings.
• Standard Operating Procedures: Ability to work within strict quality environments and adhere to ISO 17100 quality standards.

Why Collaborate with Lilt?

• 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. Contribute to cutting-edge AI and language technology that is shaping how humans and machines communicate.
• 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. Bring your language skills to life on projects that are as interesting as they are impactful.

What to Consider Before Applying

• Not ideal as a full time job or primary income source. Work availability fluctuates with project demand, making this better suited as a supplemental income stream. As a 1099 contractor, you won't receive benefits such as health insurance, paid time off, or retirement contributions, and hours are not guaranteed.
• Requires reliable availability and commitment. Once you accept a task, we expect quality work and on-time delivery. Most tasks require a minimum of 2 hours per day or 10 hours per week. If your schedule is unpredictable, this may not be the right fit.
• Geographic restrictions apply. This role is only available to linguists physically based in the United States, due to client system access requirements. As a 1099 contractor, you are solely responsible for your own tax obligations. We recommend consulting a tax professional before engaging.
