Vancouver, Canada Avo Media Full time

Avo Media is a Vancouver-based creative agency that makes documentary, educational, and branded content. We specialize in communicating science and other complex concepts in a clear, engaging way. We’re a small team that’s been in business for seven years.

Our team has partnered with a medical research group to produce four educational videos about dementia and cognitive impairment. The videos include interviews with persons with lived experience and medical practitioners. The videos have already been produced in English, and now need to be produced with the same content in French.

We are seeking a part-time bilingual writer who can help us achieve this. Your responsibilities will include pre-interviews, production day interviews, video script writing, some translation, and reviewing and providing feedback on videos. There will be some travel within Canada, possibly on short notice, to conduct interviews (all travel expenses will be covered by Avo).

We are seeking someone who:

- Is bilingual in English and Quebecois French
- Can easily rewrite English content in French
- Has experience writing educational, health/biology content (ideally for video)
- Has experience conducting pre-interviews for research and script writing purposes
- Ideally has experience conducting on-set interviews
- Ideally has experience working as part of a larger media production team
- Is able to travel for filming (potentially on evenings and weekends)

This would be a part-time subcontracted role with mostly flexible hours, but a requirement to attend scheduled interviews and meet multiple interim deadlines during this time. Some travel will be required on potentially short notice for interviews at specific filming locations, though the majority of this contract can be completed remotely.

The number of work hours and hourly compensation can be negotiated depending on your experience, we expect this project to be in the ballpark of ~150 hours.

If interested please respond to this ad with your CV or brief description of your experience and some samples of your French writing.
