TransPerfect Connect (TPC) is seeking highly fluent, professional bilingual speakers (English <>

Cantonese / Mandarin / Vietnamese / Korean / French / Haitian Creole) with experience using their language skills in a professional call center-style setting. We offer comprehensive, paid training to launch your career as an Over-the-Phone (OPI) and Video Remote Interpreter (VRI), helping clients across industries such as healthcare, legal, and financial services.

If you're excited by meaningful work and thrive on purpose, this role gives you the chance to use your language skills to make a real difference!

Interpreters at TPC play a vital role in facilitating accurate and culturally appropriate communication for limited-English speakers. Whether you’re supporting a patient during a medical appointment or assisting someone in accessing essential services, your bilingual fluency directly contributes to meaningful, real-world impact.

This is a structured, call center-style role that goes beyond casual or conversational bilingualism. Ideal candidates bring professional-level command of both English and Cantonese / Mandarin / Vietnamese / Korean / French / Haitian Creole and must be able to interpret complex conversations with speed and precision. This includes idiomatic expressions, specialized terminology (e.g., medical, legal, financial), and emotionally nuanced content.

Success in this role requires strong active listening, emotional control, professionalism, empathy, and adaptability. Interpreters manage continuous live calls, often under pressure, while strictly following interpretation protocols to maintain neutrality, accuracy, and confidentiality.

Key Responsibilities :

• Provide consecutive interpretation services between English and Cantonese / Mandarin / Vietnamese / Korean / French / Haitian Creole across various industries (medical, legal, customer service, etc.)
• Ensure complete accuracy, clarity, and neutrality in interpretation—preserving tone, intent, and emotion
• Maintain confidentiality and impartiality at all times
• Manage call flow professionally, including respectfully intervening when clarification is needed
• Demonstrate emotional intelligence, especially in high-pressure or emotionally charged interactions
• Apply short term memory retention, active listening, and note taking techniques to manage longer exchanges
• Remain strictly within the interpreter’s role without offering personal opinions or advice
• Participate in ongoing training, coaching, and feedback sessions to maintain and enhance performance
• Utilize basic computer tools (MS Office, internal platforms) to effectively manage calls and log activity
