Imagine a job where YOU can utilize your exceptional interpersonal skills to liaise effectively with both internal and external teams.

Add a great collaborative team, a challenging variety of work, excellent work life balance, and you have imagined a job at the CLHIA.

About the CLHIA
CLHIA is the respected voice of Canada's Life and Health insurers. Our work concerns the lives of all Canadians. We work alongside our members to advance public policy solutions that ensure a sound and vibrant life and health insurance industry that allows Canadians to enjoy greater financial security and access to valuable supplementary health benefits. Every day at the CLHIA, we bring:

- our authentic selves to the job
- our best ideas to every challenge
- our open minds to other perspectives
- our full trust in one another’s abilities

**You will succeed here if you are**:
An excellent communicator - you will be collaborating with not only our internal team but with stakeholders and member companies. Your ability to communicate clearly and with several different parties will support your success.

Flexible - this is a position where you will have to approach an issue through different angles and the ability to analyze a situation or problem.

A Team player - you work well and efficiently with others.

- A defined contribution pension plan with employer matching
- 3 weeks paid vacation annually
- 10 sick days annually
- 2 floater days annually
- A hybrid work model based out of our Ottawa office

**What you will be working on**:

- Translate, mainly from English to French, a wide variety of documents ranging in complexity in an accurate and timely manner, ensuring quality and clarity, proper style and reflection of the political/industry environment and other sensitivities.
- Documents could include: submissions, industry guidelines, consumer guides, reports and surveys, presentations, press releases, conference materials and website content
- Check French documents posted on the website ensuring functionality (e.g., that links work), and liaise with appropriate stakeholder to resolve issues.
- Coordinate the day-to-day workflow of the translation service, receiving, triaging and assigning requests from internal clients.
- Act as the day-to-day point of contact for external translation services, following up on requests and receiving invoices, checking for accuracy, and routing for approval and payment.
- Ensure accuracy of translation: conduct terminology research that may involve shared software, clarify meaning with original author or stakeholders, and revise translations prepared by other translators.
- Contribute to Translation Services databank.
- Provide appropriate background context for external translation services; review and occasionally revise documents translated by freelancers.

**What you will bring**:
Professional qualifications and Experience
- University degree in a related field with 2-5 years of related experience
- Bilingual (English/French) and certification from an association of professional translators
