At the Media House Sermitsiaq, we are looking for a skilled and dedicated translation manager who is passionate about language, quality, and leadership.

As a translation manager, you will play a vital role in our editorial work.

• Collaborate closely with the editor-in-chief, editors, and journalists to ensure clear, correct, and readable language in our publications.

• Contribute to the development of linguistic standards and quality assurance across the entire media house.

• Drive the development and implementation of AI-based translation tools and ensure that new technologies are used responsibly and effectively without compromising quality.

We envision that you

• Master Greenlandic and Danish at a high level – both orally and in writing. English is an advantage.

• Have solid experience with translation and linguistic quality assurance.

• Have good leadership skills or a desire to develop as a leader.

• Are structured and can plan tasks and resources effectively.

• Thrive with responsibility and can maintain an overview in a daily routine with deadlines.
