Junior Writer: Spanish Proofreading & AI Localization (Latam)

About the role

You will be the human quality layer in our English-to-Spanish adaptation workflow. This is primarily a proofreading, localization review, and quality assurance role, not a from-scratch creative writing job.

What you'll do

• Proofread and Refine AI-Adapted Scripts
• Review AI-generated Spanish scripts for grammar, spelling, punctuation, accents, sentence structure, and register.
• Catch mistranslations, literal or awkward phrasing, missing context, dropped lines, and tonal inconsistencies against the English source.
• Make sure the adaptation keeps the meaning, tone, emotion, and narrative intent of the original.
• Check that dialogue sounds natural for each character and situation, and that the Spanish reads fluently rather than like a translation.
• Align every script with Pocket FM's editorial standards and deliver clean, production-ready drafts.
• Make Scripts AI-Voice Friendly
• Format scripts correctly for the AI voice pipeline, with clear speaker labels, clean dialogue and narration separation, and no stray symbols or formatting errors.

What they're looking for

• Native Spanish with excellent grammar, spelling, and punctuation
• Strong English comprehension, to interpret source scripts accurately
• Bachelor's degree in Literature, Languages, Translation, Communications, Journalism, Media, or a related field
• Sharp attention to detail, with an eye for linguistic, contextual, and continuity errors
• Ability to stay accurate and consistent across high-volume deliverables
• Comfort with structured workflows, feedback cycles, and deadline-driven production
• Clear communication and collaboration with Senior Writers and cross-functional teams

Nice to have

• Experience in proofreading, editing, translation review, localization, or content QA
• Familiarity with AI-assisted writing, translation, or adaptation tools
• Basic understanding of storytelling, such as narrative structure, character, and pacing
• Ability to read user feedback and spot patterns
• AI helps us adapt faster, but human review is what makes a localized story feel natural, emotional, and relevant. Your work directly shapes the listening experience of audiences.
