project manager Preston, North West England, England
Job description
Are you fluent in French – or even better, French & German? Do you have good people skills? Then you could start a great career in languages in well-appointed offices (with great views) in central Preston, where you'll enjoy excellent prospects and training working in an enjoyable interesting environment.
You’ll be working for Lifeline Language Services, a highly-respected language industry market leader with over 30 years’ experience providing translation, interpreting, and multilingual multimedia services. A strong focus on client satisfaction, and exceptional quality on every assignment, has helped build strong relationships with a broad base of clients across a wide range of sectors and languages. The company is also seeing good growth in exciting new French and German-speaking markets following our acquisition of a company in France.
You'll be handling translation and interpreting projects and liaising with customers, suppliers and colleagues to ensure on-time delivery to the highest possible standard.
Your key responsibilities will include:
· Managing assignments from intake to completion, liaising with in-house and external resources to achieve the best outcome for our clients
· Receiving and handling enquiries, and dealing promptly with queries from suppliers or clients
· Representing the company and language profession through outreach activities
· Building your status as a professional linguist
To do all this well, you're going to need:
· Excellent written & spoken French and English, ideally also with German, either to degree level or equivalent or gained from another background (e.g. bilingual upbringing) - so no, you don't need a degree but you will need to impress us with your language(s)!
· Good people and phone skills
· Reasonable numeracy and writing skills
· MS Office familiarity, and preferably CAT tool experience (but we'll provide full training)
Also expected are good general knowledge and an interest in world affairs.
