The successful candidate will be responsible for polished and clear translation of key project documents of our new research report, including the Executive Summary, policy recommendations, policy brief, and press releases into French.

This role is well-suited to individuals with prior experience in translation, particularly within the fields of international development, public health, or human rights.

- Translate core project documents from English into French, ensuring a high level of accuracy, clarity, and cultural sensitivity.
- Collaborate with the Project Management Team, Comms lead, and national researchers to ensure that translated materials preserve the tone, intent, and integrity of the original texts.
- Incorporate feedback from national research partners to refine translations and ensure accessibility for diverse audiences.
- Maintain consistency in the use of key terminology across all translated materials, particularly in relation to digital health, human rights, and youth-led advocacy.
- Deliver completed translations within agreed timelines in alignment with project milestones and public dissemination schedules.
Skills and experience
- Native or near-native fluency in French, along with excellent command of English.
- Demonstrated experience in translation, ideally within an academic, NGO, or international development context.
- Meticulous attention to detail, with the ability to accurately convey complex ideas and sensitive content in the target language.
- Cultural awareness and sensitivity, particularly when working with materials concerning health, human rights, and marginalised communities.
- Proven ability to work independently and manage time effectively to meet project deadlines.

- Familiarity with terminology and discourse used in UN communications, civil society advocacy, or public health campaigns.
- Experience collaborating with academic or research institutions.
- Prior translation experience with external communications.
