JOB SUMMARY:

The French Translation Specialist is responsible for delivering accurate, high quality French translations that support the Company's brand, customer engagement and regulatory compliance efforts.

Working as part of the Marketing team, the French Translation Specialist plays a key role in ensuring our message resonates across Canada's French-speaking markets. This role will translate a wide range of content- including product documentation, packaging, marketing assets, digital content, internal communications, and training materials, maintaining brand voice, technical accuracy and legal compliance.

• Ensure all translated materials meet regulatory requirements and industry standards
• Assist with bilingual content planning and contribute to marketing strategy for French speaking markets
• Coordinate occasionally with external translation vendors or freelances when required
• Provide French language support to internal teams (e.g. writing short communications, reviewing presentations, ensuring quality French-language customer touch points)

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor's degree in Translation, Linguistics, French Studies, Communications or related field (or equivalent experience)
• Native or near-native fluency in French (Québécois), with strong command of written English
• Minimum 3-5 years of professional translation experience, ideally in technical, industrial or marketing settings
• Strong knowledge of Bill 96 requirements and/or ability to become an internal subject matter expert
• Exceptional attention to detail, grammar and linguistic nuance
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and deliver high-quality work under tight deadlines
• Familiarity with translation tools (e.g. CAT tools, terminology management software) is an asset
• Experience working cross-functionally with Marketing team is a strong advantage

COMPETENCIES:

• High accuracy and strong quality control mindset
