👋🏻 NICE TO MEET YOU

We are a translation agency working exclusively with outdoor and action sports brands like Salomon, O’Neill, Peak Performance, and more. You can find out more about us here: 🔗 www.theactionsportstranslator.com

We understand our clients’ customers because we are them: we buy their gear, head out into the great outdoors and experience nature and the mountains – we LIVE for adventure. 🏔

Most of our work revolves around localizing, translating and transcreating ecommerce and marketing content like product descriptions, landing pages, website content, marketing campaigns, newsletters, SEO articles, video content, and more. Sometimes, we also help our clients with content and copy creation in English and more rarely in other European languages.

This is why we are on the hunt for creative translators who know how to tell a good story in their language, aren’t afraid to stray from the source copy, and are familiar with the technicalities of outdoor gear. You should be comfortable raising questions and questioning the source copy, apply critical thinking and extreme ownership over your work.

❌ WHAT WE ARE NOT LOOKING FOR

  • We are not looking for bilingual people or people who have no translation or writing experience/qualifications.
  • We are not looking to hire permanent employees or to source translation agencies.
  • We are not looking for professional translators who have no experience in marketing translation or localization.
  • And we are not looking for professional translators who don’t have a passion for/are not familiar with mountain, winter and snow sports. If you’re into mainstream sports like football, rugby, tennis, etc. your application won’t be considered.

You probably already own a piece of their gear or two!
