We offer a job with exciting tasks and the opportunity to participate in the further development of a task management system in the Interpretation Office, together with the office's 14 permanent employees.

About the Interpretation Office:
The Interpretation Office handles all interpreting and translation tasks, including simultaneous interpreting in the Self-Government's central administration. Translation tasks in Greenlandic, Danish, and English such as legislative proposals, presentations to the Naalakkersuisut, larger reports, materials for Inatsisartut meetings, as well as incoming and outgoing mail from the departments/directorates.

Your tasks will include:

• Processing and preparation of received and outgoing translation tasks

Additionally, we value personal competencies such as commitment and willingness to learn. Furthermore, you should be able to collaborate in a team of 14 employees who work under high pressure on a daily basis. Experience with translation work or an education as an interpreter may be an advantage, but is not a requirement.
