About the Role
We’re looking for an experienced captioner/subtitler to produce accurate transcripts and timecoded caption and subtitle files for dynamic content from around the world, to the highest industry standards.

• Research names, terminology and references to get every detail right.
• Apply client and platform style guides, including the Netflix Timed Text Style Guides.
• Review and quality-check deliverables, and help uphold the team’s quality standards.
What You Bring
• 3+ years of professional closed captioning and/or subtitling experience.
• Exceptional English spelling, grammar, punctuation and copy-editing skills.
• Working knowledge of captioning standards: CRTC (Canada), FCC and DCMP (U.S.), and the Netflix Timed Text Style Guides.
• Proficiency with professional captioning/subtitling software such as EZTitles, CaptionMaker, Subtitle Edit or similar.
• Strong research skills and the ability to meet deadlines while working independently.
• A reliable high-speed internet connection and a quiet home workspace.
Major asset
• Native or near-native fluency in Canadian French as well as English, written and spoken.
• Strong command of Quebec/Canadian French usage, terminology and typographic conventions.
• Captioning, subtitling or translation experience in Canadian French.
Also nice to have: translation or localization training or credentials, and experience with audio description or described video.
What We Offer
• Competitive, industry-standard compensation.
• Flexible remote work, with full-time or part-time hours.
• Varied, high-profile content from leading broadcasters and streaming platforms.
• Work across captioning, subtitling, translation and audio description, in English and French.
