This is a new role resulting from decentralisation of our translation and production services. Working as part of an integrated international team, you'll have real scope for creative input at a local level. In particular, you will assess how to adapt content both visually and verbally for a regional audience. Handling translation requests, mostly for Middle East and North Africa languages, you'll work with a team of in-house translators, as well as third-party suppliers (free-lance translators and providers of services such as typesetting, production, etc). You will also co-ordinate the production of related materials such as reports and leaflets.

Education Degree Details
As this is a co-ordination and translation role, you will need to be a native Arabic speaker and be fluent in English (the principle source language). You’ll enjoy being part of a distributed team. You will have experience translating from English to Modern Standard Arabic, preferably in a human rights or civil society language context. You will be responsible for uploading content to the Amnesty International website and will feel comfortable with technical tasks in this area. You'll be used to working with printers and other creative services, while editorial experience would be a plus- in particular collaborating with designers on visual adaptations. You're likely to have experience of working in the Middle East and North Africa, and will be confident about building good working relationships with local suppliers.
