Job Details

Join our Growing Team at Waste Japan as a Project Manager Assistant/Translator!

Waste is a leading creative agency in the video games industry, and we’re looking for talented individuals to join our team. If you are a native Japanese speaker with an interest in project management and translation, this could be the perfect opportunity for you! We’re seeking a reliable, responsive, and versatile professional to support our Project Managers and translate key marketing documents from English to Japanese

This role offers a fantastic gateway into marketing in the video game industry, perfect for those looking to gain project management experience while working on exciting projects under tight deadlines.

Roles and Responsibilities

  • Create and assign tickets following our PMs lead. Ensure everything is done according to specs and on time.
  • Assets management. Download and organize assets sent by our external partners according to our internal process.

Translation:

  • Translate internal and external documents from English to Japanese.
  • Review Japanese assets to make sure that the language, grammar, tone of voice etc. are according to client’s requirements.
  • Most of the documents you will be working on are confidential, which means you will not be able to rely on AI translation for most of your work.
  • Many requests for translation come from other Keywords Studios, many of whom are based in the UK. Due to the time differences with the UK team, you may need to work on a later shift than most members on some days (e.g. 11:00 am - 8:00 pm)

Reliability and independence:

  • Everyone at Waste Japan works fully remotely. We need all our staff to be professionals and to be able to work on their own with minimum supervision.
  • Previous freelance experience is a plus, independence and proactivity are key soft skills for this position.

Requirements

  • Native level Japanese.
  • 2+ years of experience as a professional translator. Previous experience of Marketing related projects and/or gaming related projects is a plus. Provide a portfolio with examples of previous English to Japanese translations, or references to previous works.
  • Fluency in English (reading/writing/speaking). All internal communications are done in English, over email, instant messengers and video chat.

Good to have

  • Good general IT literacy:
  • You are familiar with Office365 and/or Google Suite.
  • You can adapt to the latest technologies and adjust to new IT tool sets easily.
