Job description

Lugotara is accepting applications from qualified Spanish interpreters for remote, on-demand interpretation opportunities.

This position is open only to applicants based in the United States.

Spanish is commonly spoken in or associated with Mexico, Spain, Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Venezuela, and United States. These locations describe major language communities only. This opportunity is remote and open only to applicants who reside in the United States.

This is a freelance independent-contractor opportunity, not a salaried or guaranteed-hours position. Interpreters provide live services on both audio and video calls and may choose when they are available. Call volume varies based on client demand, language, time zone, qualifications, and performance.

Projects may pay per completed interpreted minute or per interpreted hour, depending on the client and assignment. Recruiters discuss and negotiate the applicable rate with selected candidates during the interview process, and the agreed terms are confirmed before onboarding. No minimum hours, call volume, or earnings are guaranteed.

This posting is an ongoing applicant pool for future and current interpreter demand. Submitting an application does not guarantee an interview, onboarding, a minimum volume of calls, or a work assignment. Lugotara reviews applications against client demand and qualification requirements, and only selected candidates will be invited to the next stage.

Lugotara never charges applicants a fee to apply, interview, train, or onboard.

Responsibilities

• Interpret accurately and impartially between English and the listed language in both directions.
