Title: Freelance Linguist (RU)
Company: Yazio

HEY THERE!
We are currently looking for a freelance Russian language expert for marketing transcreation and MTPE review. The source language is English. We offer a steady workload and the possibility of a long-term collaboration. You will be part of a supportive, close-knit team of dedicated freelance linguists all across the globe. If you’re an experienced linguist who moves comfortably between creative transcreation and structured LQA work, and you’re familiar with nutrition and health topics, we would love to hear from you.
This job is 100% remote.
YOUR MISSION
- Transcreate marketing content—including push notifications, CRM emails, App Store promotions and video scripts—from English into Russian, ensuring the message lands with the same emotional impact and cultural relevance as the original
- Adapt global campaigns and cultural moments for the Russian audience, going beyond literal translation to craft copy that feels native and on-brand
- Maintain Yazio’s voice across all marketing touchpoints in Russian, balancing the brand’s motivational tone with local market expectations
- Step in as MTPE reviewer when needed—post-editing AI-generated translations and performing LQA in Phrase, flagging and correcting errors by category and severity
- Collaborate with the localization team to flag cultural or linguistic issues early and contribute to the quality of Russian content across the app and marketing channels
YOUR PROFILE
- Native Russian speaker with professional proficiency in English
- Degree in translation, linguistics, copywriting or a related field
- 3+ years of experience in marketing transcreation, creative copywriting or localization for digital products or consumer apps
- Proven ability to adapt performance marketing formats—push notifications, emails, paid ads and video scripts—where tone, brevity and cultural fit matter as much as accuracy
- Comfortable switching between creative transcreation and structured MTPE+LQA work depending on project needs
- Solid understanding of LQA processes: able to categorize errors by type and severity and apply a structured review within a CAT tool
- Familiarity with Phrase TMS or equivalent localization tools
- Experience with health, wellness or lifestyle content is a plus
- Able to work independently, meet deadlines and collaborate asynchronously with a remote international team
WHY US?
- An exciting product with millions of users in over 150 countries, localized in 20 languages
- An international team with English as our company language
- A steady workload and long-term collaboration
- A work culture characterized by focus and efficiency
