Position Overview 📝

The Turkish Video-Telephone Interpreter is responsible for on-demand calls, facilitating conversations between Turkish and English speakers. You’ll help eliminate communication barriers across sectors like healthcare, government, insurance, finance, utilities, travel & hospitality, law enforcement, courts, and emergency services (911).

This is a fully remote position. A quiet, secure workspace at home is essential to perform effectively.
