Japanese Translator Job

🎬 Now Hiring: Narrative Focused English to Japanese Translator We are seeking a translator who specializes in narrative adaptation.

This is not a word-for-word translation job. It’s about capturing tone, subtext, rhythm, and cultural nuance so our work resonates in Japanese as powerfully as it does in English. Think: sarcasm, edge, humor, emotional depth—all preserved in the characters’ voices.

What we’re looking for: - Native-level Japanese with strong English comprehension - Proven experience translating scripted or narrative content (film, TV, books, plays, or similar) - Ability to capture tone, rhythm, subtext, and cultural nuance - Skilled in preserving sarcasm, edge, humor, and emotional depth - A storyteller’s instinct — not just accuracy, but resonance - You’ll be working on scripted, character-driven material. If you’re passionate about bringing stories alive in Japanese—whether from screenplays, books, or other creative texts—we’d love to hear from you.
