Overview
We are seeking native-level Italian (Italy) speakers to support evaluation and annotation work for voice AI. Projects span text-to-speech audio evaluation, data annotation, transcript review, and linguistic analysis. You will assess outputs using structured rubrics and provide written feedback in English.


About the Role
The work varies across projects. Some examples of what you may be asked to do:
- Listen to AI-generated audio samples in your language and rate them across multiple quality dimensions using a provided rubric.
- Compare pairs of audio samples and indicate which you prefer, along with how strong your preference is.
- Review and annotate transcripts for accuracy, segmentation, or linguistic features.
- Complete data annotation tasks that involve labeling, categorizing, or flagging content according to provided guidelines.
- Write short English-language feedback explaining your ratings, describing what you heard, and noting specific issues.

Rubrics cover quality dimensions such as pronunciation, pacing, intonation, emotion, and speaker similarity, among others. Each task comes with specific instructions outlining what to assess and how to apply the rubric.

Each task includes evaluation guidelines and a rubric that define the required output. Contractors apply the rubric to produce ratings and written feedback that meet the specifications for each task and ensure ratings are aligned across the team. This means carefully reading the guidelines for each task, asking clarifying questions when something is unclear, and applying the same standards throughout your work. Tasks include reference examples so contractors can confirm their output meets the rubric specifications.


Volume
Up to 20 hours per week. Volume varies by language and project. Some weeks may have less than 20 hours of work available.

We occasionally hold optional team meetings. Contractors may be asked to acknowledge new assignments within a stated window. Availability on weekends is a plus.

Typical turnaround for a task is 24 hours from assignment. Larger tasks (100+ samples) will have extended deadlines.

Some tasks are planned in advance; others are ad hoc with tighter turnaround.


Requirements
- Native-level proficiency in Italian as spoken in Italy.
- Strong written English proficiency. You will write feedback, read guidelines, and communicate with the team in English.
- Foundational knowledge of linguistics or a related field. You should be comfortable with concepts like phonetics, prosody, and intonation, and be able to apply them when evaluating speech. Formal education in linguistics, language studies, or speech science is a strong plus.
- Reliable internet connection, a computer with audio playback, and headphones.
- Ability to follow detailed guidelines precisely and maintain consistent quality across tasks.
- Task assignments and clarifications are handled through a Slack workspace.
- Responsive and available within the turnaround windows described above.
- Engaged and communicative. We value evaluators who ask questions, flag issues, and actively participate.
- Resourceful and self-sufficient. If you're waiting on a response from one team member, you reach out to others or find another way to make progress. We need people who keep moving and don't stall when something is unclear.


Preferred
- Prior experience with data annotation, transcription, or linguistic evaluation. Candidates with hands-on annotation experience will be given strong consideration.
- Conversational spoken English proficiency. All instructions, guidelines, and team communication are in English, and some meetings may be conducted in English.
- Schedule that overlaps with Pacific time business hours. Weekend availability is a plus.
- Familiarity with structured rubrics or rating scales.
- Experience working with distributed, remote teams.


How to Apply
In your application, please include:

- Relevant experience. Describe any prior work in data annotation, transcription, audio evaluation, linguistics, or related fields. Be specific about the type of work, your role, and any linguistic training or education you have.
- Language proficiency. List the languages you speak and your proficiency level in each. Indicate which is your native language.
- Availability. Confirm you can commit up to 20 hours per week and are available to begin promptly.

Candidates who move forward will complete a short interview and a screening task as part of the evaluation process.

This is a 1099 contract opportunity. Evaluators work on a non-exclusive, project-by-project basis, control their own methods and schedule for completing assigned tasks, supply their own equipment, and are responsible for their own taxes. You must be authorized to work in your country of residence.

Title: Amazon Seller Central Specialist — Brand & Category Approval (Gourmet Food/Grocery)

Job Category: Amazon Consulting / E-commerce Operations

Description:

We're Sapori Select LLC, an established Amazon seller currently approved to sell bag-in-box olive oil for an Italian supplier (Frantoio Uliveti Umbri). We're expanding to add 1–2 new suppliers/products to our catalog and need an experienced Amazon Seller Central specialist to help us get set up correctly and avoid any account-health issues.

What we need help with:

Determine whether our new supplier(s)/product(s) fall under a gated brand and/or a restricted category (grocery, gourmet food, imported goods, etc.)
Prepare and submit brand/category approval ("ungating") applications, including compiling and formatting the required invoices/documentation from our suppliers
Advise on the right paperwork to get from each new supplier (letters of authorization, invoices that meet Amazon's requirements) so applications aren't rejected
Flag anything about our existing distributor relationship or new supplier agreements that could create Amazon account-health risk (e.g., IP complaints, authenticity disputes) — legal review of contract terms is out of scope, but we want your operational read on the risk
Optional: light ongoing support as we onboard each new product listing (categorization, compliance flags, etc.)

Ideal candidate:

Proven track record getting sellers approved to sell gated brands/categories on Amazon, ideally in grocery, gourmet food, or imported goods
Deep familiarity with Amazon Seller Central policies around brand gating, Brand Registry, and reseller authorization (we've done initial research and understand Brand Registry itself is owned by the brand/trademark holder — we need help with the practical approval process on our end)
Clear communicator who can explain what documentation we need to collect and why
Available to start soon; this is a fairly contained scope (1–2 products) but may lead to ongoing work as we add more suppliers

Budget: Hourly — please propose your rate. Estimated scope is a handful of hours per product/supplier, but happy to discuss if more is needed.

To apply, please include:

A brief description of a similar brand/category approval project you've completed (what category, what the outcome was)
Your hourly rate
Your estimated timeline to get one product approved, assuming we provide supplier invoices promptly

I’m looking for remote freelance opportunities in travel planning, luxury travel, client support, reservations, supplier coordination, customer service, and operations. I’m especially interested in supporting travel agencies, hotels, tour operators, and international businesses that need an experienced Italian-speaking professional. I can work in Italian and English and I’m available for part-time, project-based, or ongoing remote work.

This is NOT a traditional marketing or PR role.

Please read this before applying.

If your background is primarily in marketing, branding, social media, content marketing, communications, SEO, paid advertising, or growth marketing, this position is probably not the right fit.

We're looking for a specialist who already understands Google Knowledge Panels, Google's entity ecosystem, Wikipedia, and earned media—and how they work together to build long-term digital authority for individuals and businesses.


This is a highly specialized role. We're looking for someone who has already done this work, not someone looking to learn it.

Who We're Looking For

We're seeking someone with deep expertise in at least two of the following areas, and a strong working knowledge of the third:

Google Knowledge Panels & Entity Strategy

You have personally:
Audited clients for Google Knowledge Panel eligibility
Built or helped build Google Knowledge Panels
Developed entity-building strategies
Diagnosed why a client doesn't qualify and created a roadmap to get them there
Understand how Google's entity ecosystem works
Know when PR, structured citations, entity optimization, or other authority signals are needed


Wikipedia

You have personally:
Evaluated clients for Wikipedia eligibility
Advised clients on Wikipedia's notability requirements
Created or edited Wikipedia pages while following community guidelines
Built long-term strategies for clients who aren't yet eligible
Understood what qualifies as independent, reliable sourcing


Digital PR & Media Outreach

You have personally:
Secured earned media placements through journalist outreach
Built relationships with editors, reporters, podcast hosts, and producers
Pitched clients to publications, podcasts, interviews, and speaking opportunities
Coordinated ongoing visibility campaigns
Helped clients increase their authority through credible third-party coverage
We're not looking for someone who only distributes press releases or manages social media.


What You'll Do

Depending on your strengths, you'll lead strategy and execution across one or more of these areas.


Google Knowledge Panels

Audit clients for eligibility
Build Knowledge Panel strategies
Create and manage Knowledge Panel submissions
Troubleshoot existing Knowledge Panels
Advise clients on improving Google's understanding of their entity


Wikipedia

Determine whether clients qualify today
Create long-term eligibility roadmaps
Edit and maintain Wikipedia pages where appropriate
Advise clients on sourcing and notability


PR & Authority Building

Build media strategies for clients
Pitch journalists and editors
Secure earned media coverage
Coordinate paid placements when appropriate
Arrange podcast appearances, interviews, and speaking opportunities
Build long-term authority campaigns


Before Applying, You Should Already Know...

You should already understand:
How Google decides whether someone receives a Knowledge Panel
Google's entity graph and authority signals
The difference between earned media and syndicated press release distribution
Wikipedia's notability requirements
Why independent third-party coverage matters
How PR contributes to Google Knowledge Panel and Wikipedia eligibility
How to pitch journalists and editors effectively


If several of these concepts are unfamiliar, this position likely isn't the right fit.


Required Experience

Demonstrated experience creating or advising on Google Knowledge Panels
Demonstrated experience with Wikipedia strategy or editing
Demonstrated experience securing earned media through direct outreach
Exceptional written English
Ability to work independently and own projects from strategy through execution


Bonus Qualifications

Existing relationships with journalists or editors
Experience working with founders, executives, public figures, or brands
Familiarity with online reputation management
Experience using AI tools to improve research and workflows
Additional language proficiency (Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, German, Polish, or Russian)



About Us

Media Removal helps individuals, executives, entrepreneurs, brands, and businesses build, protect, and strengthen their online reputation and digital authority.


This role will play a key part in helping our clients establish lasting credibility through Google's entity ecosystem, authoritative media coverage, and strategic visibility.


If you're already an expert in this niche and are excited to help clients build real authority—not just publicity—we'd love to hear from you.

We're hiring a freelance Amazon Catalogue Specialist to join our delivery team and support our existing catalogue lead. The primary focus is weekend coverage with weekday overflow support across our full client portfolio.

This is a hands-on Seller Central execution role with two layers: (1) catalogue work across listings, cases, and pricing, (2) clean reporting and logbook discipline. You won't be building automations, but you should understand how AI tools and agents work well enough to advise where they'd help.

SellerSoar is a performance-driven Amazon agency partner managing 7 to 8-figure brands across UK, US, EU, and emerging markets. We don't ship sloppy work. Attention to detail is non-negotiable.

Time Commitment

* Weekend coverage required: Saturday and Sunday, 4 to 6 hours per day
* Weekday support: 1 to 2 hours per day, Monday to Friday, same daily block
* 10 to 15 hours per week total
* Tell us in your application your weekend hours (UK time) and your weekday block

Key Areas of Responsibility

* Manage listing updates across the client portfolio (copy, bullets, backend keywords, attributes, compliance fields, variation themes)
* Manage new listing requests from creation through go-live, including variation families, parent-child relationships, and marketplace expansion (UK, US, DE, FR, IT, ES, NL)
* Manage case logs and Amazon support cases from open to resolution, including category restrictions, delivery time appeals, listing suppression, brand registry issues, and ASIN reinstatement
* Handle Sellerboard-related concerns, including stock alerts, profitability alerts, COGS updates, and inventory health flags
* Apply price updates accurately across marketplaces, including RRP, tax-inclusive list pricing, and promotional pricing
* Deploy listing image updates from creative briefs into Seller Central (main images, lifestyle, infographics, A+ modules)
* Update listing copies for typos, claims accuracy, SEO refinement, and bullet alignment across variation children
* Maintain the daily catalogue logbook with every task, action, and outcome logged cleanly and on time
* Take direct task requests on WhatsApp from the founder, senior strategist, and project manager, and execute with same-day turnaround
* Deliver clean reporting on what was done, what's pending, what's blocked, and what the outcome was. We will hold a high bar here.
* Provide light AI advisory input when asked: flag where an AI tool or workflow could speed up a catalogue task. You won't build it, but you should understand enough to point at the opportunity.

What This Role Is Not

* Not a PPC or strategy role
* Not an automation or AI build role
* Not for agencies. Freelancers only.
* Not a role for someone who waits to be told what to do, we want a proactive operator

Required Qualifications

* 4+ years of hands-on Amazon catalogue and Seller Central execution experience
* Confident across UK, US, and at least 2 EU marketplaces (DE, FR, IT, ES, NL)
* Strong attention to detail. Wrong variation themes, wrong pricing, wrong category, or wrong marketplace will not work in this role.
* Hands-on experience managing Amazon support cases end-to-end
* Comfortable with flat files, partial updates, and bulk listing edits
* Experience with Sellerboard or equivalent inventory tools
* Working understanding of AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini) and how AI agents work conceptually, enough to advise where they'd help, even if you don't build them
* Strong written reporting skills in clear English
* Available weekends consistently
* WhatsApp and ClickUp as primary working tools
* Freelancer, not an agency

Bonus

* Experience supporting an existing catalogue lead inside an Amazon agency
* Multilingual (German, French, Italian, Spanish, Dutch) for EU listing review
* Familiarity with supplements, beauty, home goods, shapewear, kitchen, or pet categories
* Experience appealing category restrictions and delivery time issues

Not a Fit If

* You're an agency or plan to subcontract
* You can't commit to consistent weekend coverage
* You have a track record of "small mistakes" in catalogue work
* You've only worked one marketplace
* You don't keep clean records or forget to log work
* You need detailed hand-holding on every task


Applications from agencies or applications without specific examples will not be reviewed.

JOB TITLE:
Graphic Designer Needed — Promotional Mockup for Local Ad Booklet (A3 Fold, 4 Pages)

CATEGORY: Graphic Design — Print Design / Brochure Design

BUDGET: Fixed price, £100-180

DESCRIPTION:

I'm launching a local advertising booklet called "The Norbury Local" — a printed A3 sheet, folded in half to create 4 A4 pages, delivered door-to-door to local households. I need a polished promotional mockup to show prospective advertisers what the finished product looks like. This is for promotional/sales purposes only — all ad content will be fictitious, generic placeholder businesses, not real companies.

WHAT I NEED:
- 4-page layout: front cover, back cover, two inside pages
- A simple, clean logo/masthead for "The Norbury Local"
- 10-12 fictitious sample ads filled in across the 4 pages, in a mix of sizes (some larger/featured, some smaller) so the layout looks varied and realistic, not a uniform grid — please use your judgement on a good size mix across the page
- One inside page should include a crossword and/or wordsearch puzzle section, styled to match the rest of the booklet
- Please use these fictitious business types for the 10 ads (invent generic names — nothing that could be mistaken for a real local business):
1. Local dentist
2. Cleaner/cleaning service
3. Driving school
4. Restaurant (Italian or similar)
5. Restaurant (different cuisine)
6. Window cleaner
7. Plumber
8. Electrician
9. Hairdresser or barber
10. Cafe or coffee shop
- Each ad should include a short, punchy offer (e.g. "10% off first booking," "free quote," "2-for-1") to look authentic and a qr code

I need 4 different sizes shown in the attachment


DESIGN DIRECTION:
Please use https://www.supportlocalvic.com.au/digital/bayside as your main style reference — specifically the density and layout of the ad grid, how individual ads are boxed/framed, and the overall clean, professional-but-approachable local-business feel. The logo/masthead should be simple, not overly complex — a clean wordmark is fine, doesn't need an elaborate icon or crest.

DELIVERABLE:
- Editable Canva file (preferred) or InDesign file
- PDF and PNG export of all 4 pages

TIMELINE: Within 1 week of award

TO APPLY, PLEASE INCLUDE:
- Examples of similar local ad booklets, directories, or multi-advertiser layouts you've designed
- Whether you'd deliver in Canva or PSD

If all goes well, this will lead to a long-term role.

Can you give me a price for each design size aswell as the main scope of the work.

Many thanks

Job description

About us

LeapRate Media is a network of 32 financial brands built over 16 years. We reach 1M+ monthly users and 2.5M+ monthly page views across 50+ countries in 8 languages, with a 750K+ social following and 250+ original articles a week.

Our properties include:

LeapRate.com — B2B industry journalism since 2010, read by broker C-suite, compliance officers, payment providers and fintech leadership
AskTraders.com / ForexTraders.com — retail and semi-pro trader research, global English
ForexBroker.de / BrokerDeal.de — German-language broker comparison, DACH
TheBull.com.au — Australian investing
ForexFraud — trader protection
Plus 24 more brands across forex, stocks, fintech, crypto and trader education

Our work is cited by WSJ, CNBC, Yahoo Finance, Investing.com, Business Insider and Euromoney, and indexed by Google News, Bing News and Apple News.

What we're hiring for

We want a media sales professional to own commercial revenue across the network. Part-time, ongoing, with genuine upside — not a one-off project.

You already know this industry. You've walked the floor at iFX EXPO or the Finance Magnates summits. You know the difference between a liquidity provider and a white-label platform vendor, you know a broker's affiliate manager and its PR lead are two different buyers with two different budgets, and you know who actually signs off spend. That knowledge is the job.

What you'll be selling

Real products with real ticket sizes — this is not a £150-press-release desk:

Product Price
Featured & Verified (flagship: placement on 4 sites, editorial review, Verified badge, directory listing, awards entry) £9,000 / year
Site takeover — AskTraders.com or LeapRate.com £10,000 / month
Site takeover — ForexTraders.com or BrokerDeal.de £6,000 / month
Full network takeover (all four) £28,000 / month
Directory listing — Market Leader £4,000 / year
Directory listing — Premium £1,500 / year
Detailed broker review, per property, any of 8 languages £1,900 each
Editorial placements From £700 per property
Awards, additional category £1,000 each
Display — leaderboard / half-page / in-article / MPU / sticky From £600–£1,500 / month
Press release — single site / wider network / full syndication £150 / £700 / POA
Social coverage, push notifications £300 each
Email marketing £0.10 per subscriber
Recommended Brokers List 2026, newsletter sponsorship, lead gen (CPA/CPL/hybrid) POA

Bespoke and multi-site packages are priced by our team, so you're never boxed in by the card.

Who buys

Two distinct buyer types, and you'll work both:

B2B / industry — liquidity providers, trading platform and technology vendors, payment and PSP providers, regulatory and compliance consultancies, law firms serving the sector. They buy LeapRate.com visibility, directory presence, press and thought leadership.
Retail acquisition — brokers' affiliate, acquisition and marketing teams buying comparison-table placement, reviews, takeovers and lead gen across AskTraders, ForexTraders, the DACH sites and TheBull. This is performance-adjacent budget and usually the larger pot.

Your responsibilities

Build and own a qualified pipeline across both buyer types
Run full cycle: outbound, discovery, proposal, negotiation, close
Lead with the annual and monthly recurring products — Featured & Verified, directory, takeovers, retainers — rather than one-off press releases
Upsell and renew existing partners; build multi-site and multi-language packages
Represent the network at industry events where it makes sense (attendance supported separately)
Keep CRM current, report pipeline weekly
Feed back market intelligence: what buyers want, what competitors charge, where our card is mispriced

What we need from you (non-negotiable)

A live contact book in the forex / CFD / online trading industry. The single most important requirement. If you haven't sold to, or worked at, brokers and industry vendors, this role isn't for you.
3+ years in B2B media sales, affiliate/partnership sales, sponsorship sales, or broker-side business development
Demonstrable history of closing four- and five-figure advertising, sponsorship or partnership deals
Fluent, credible written and spoken English — you'll be emailing C-level readers of publications they respect
Genuinely self-directed: remote, independent, reports on their own pipeline without chasing

Nice to have

Background at Finance Magnates, FinanceFeeds, FX Empire, Investing.com, Ultimate Fintech, or a comparable publication or event organiser
Affiliate / performance marketing background , we run CPA, CPL, hybrid and rev-share alongside fixed fee
German two of our properties are DACH-facing and that market buys well
Arabic, Spanish, Italian, Japanese, Malay or Indonesian — we publish in 8 languages and sell into all of them
Existing relationships with acquisition or affiliate managers at tier-1 and tier-2 brokers

Compensation

Monthly retainer plus performance commission. We want someone invested for the long term, not chasing one-off wins.

Retainer: competitive, contracted through Upwork, set against your experience and the strength of your network
Performance element: additional performance-based compensation on revenue you generate, agreed in writing before you start

Given the ticket sizes above, this is a role where the performance element should be the larger number within a few months. Tell us in your application what structure works for you we'd rather hear your number than guess it.

How to apply

Please don't send a generic proposal, we won't read past the first line. Answer the screening questions specifically, and open your cover letter with the single largest advertising, sponsorship or partnership deal you have personally closed in this industry, and who it was with.

HANNE BLOCH is a Copenhagen design house founded in 2008. Hanne has designed every collection since 2013 together with her daughter Olivia. We make silk sets and swimwear from Grade 6A mulberry silk and Italian knits, sewn in our 20-person atelier in Portugal, and we ship to 89 countries with all duties and taxes covered. Our name is on every garment, and our clients are the heart of it all.

We are looking for one person to take our English-language customer service inbox in Gorgias.

What the work looks like

- Answering pre-purchase questions (sizing, shipping, customs) and post-purchase questions (returns, exchanges, tracking, care) in Gorgias
- Looking up orders, stock and customer history in Shopify before you answer, never after
- Handling returns and exchanges in Reveni, including generating the shipping label for the client
- Working from our macro library and our return-prevention playbook, and recognizing the cases that need your own judgment instead of a template
- Passing anything structural to our logistics manager or to me, rather than improvising around a policy

Every reply is written in the first person and signed with your own name. We do not sound like a support queue, and we never sound like a bot.

What we need

- 3+ years in customer service, ideally for a premium or luxury brand
- Extensive hands-on Gorgias experience: macros, rules, views, tags, the AI agent
- Working knowledge of the Shopify admin
- Comfortable with a returns platform (we use Reveni). Direct Reveni experience is a real plus, but we will train the right person on it in an afternoon.
- Native-level written English, with a real feel for a calm, warm, understated luxury tone. This is what we weigh most heavily.
- Precision: exact product names, correct sizes, live stock checked before anything is promised

Hours and commitment

0.5 to 2.5 hours a day on weekdays, finished before 12:00 Copenhagen time so anything that needs to ship can be packed the same day. Plus a light check on Saturday and Sunday for inquiries that may lead to a sale.

This is a long-term position, measured in years. The volume will grow, and there is a path to full-time for the right person performing at the highest level.

Rate

$7 to $15 per hour, depending on experience.

How to apply

Send a short video or Loom, two to three minutes, telling us why you are the right person for this.

Applications close Thursday 20 August at 11:00 Copenhagen time (CEST).

From there we shortlist a handful of applicants and come back to you with a few questions about your Gorgias work, plus a short case. The case takes no longer than 60 minutes and we pay for that hour at $15. Please be ready for it.

Job description

We are hiring an exceptional senior mobile product designer to create the complete iOS and Android UI/UX for a confidential enterprise AI voice assistant.

Your responsibility is to transform a clearly defined product into a world-class, voice-first mobile experience that feels simple, modern, calm, fast, trustworthy, and highly refined.

Our quality target is the top 0.1% of mobile AI products. We are not looking for a copy of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, or any other existing application. We need an original product identity with best-in-class usability and interaction design.

Spacing and grid rules
Buttons
Inputs
Cards

Design standards

The final experience must:

Feel premium without unnecessary decoration
Use a clear visual hierarchy
Minimize the number of steps required for common actions
Prioritize one-handed mobile use
Make voice the principal interaction without weakening text interaction
Work naturally on both iOS and Android
Follow Apple Human Interface Guidelines and Material Design principles
Support Dynamic Type and scalable text
Use accessible contrast
Use appropriate touch target sizes
Avoid tiny controls and crowded navigation
Include screen-reader-ready component behavior
Protect sensitive information when the application moves into the background
Avoid generic AI gradients, excessive glowing elements, and template-like interfaces
Remain realistic to implement in Expo and React Native
Proposed navigation

The designer may refine the architecture, but the initial product structure should use four clear areas:

Pulse

I run an Italian e-commerce brand selling NFC-based Google review products to local businesses (restaurants, salons, shops, gyms). I already have a library of UGC videos produced for my Facebook Ads campaigns, including the full raw footage and the specific edits that performed best.

I'm looking for a social media specialist who can analyze that library and turn it into 10 Instagram videos (Reels format, 9:16) for my brand profile — all in a consistent style, so the profile works as a proper brand showcase rather than a random collection of clips.

What you'll do:

Review all the UGC footage I provide, plus the ad creatives that performed best, and identify the hooks, moments, and angles worth reusing
Define one visual style (captions, typography, pacing, transitions, color treatment) and apply it consistently across all 10 videos
Handle the full edit yourself: cutting, subtitles in Italian, on-screen text, music, sound design
Deliver 10 finished videos ready to publish, plus a suggested caption and posting order for each

Requirements:

Fluent Italian is mandatory. All footage, subtitles, and on-screen copy are in Italian — I need someone who can judge whether a hook actually lands for an Italian audience.
Proven experience editing short-form vertical video for Instagram/TikTok
You currently manage (or have managed) an Instagram page — please tell me which one
Comfortable working from an existing asset library rather than shooting new content

To apply, please include:

Links to 3–5 short-form videos you've edited (Reels/TikTok preferred)
The Instagram account(s) you manage or have managed
A one-paragraph note on how you'd approach building a consistent visual style from mixed UGC footage
Your estimated delivery time for the 10 videos

Applications without references and work samples will not be considered.

Why this matters: this is a first paid test project. If it goes well, I'm looking for someone to take over ongoing social media management for the brand — content planning, editing, and publishing on a recurring basis.

Ciao a tutti! Sto introducendo il settore B2B nella mia attività e cerco una persona che si occupi di effettuare chiamate a potenziali clienti già interessati. Prendo in considerazione sia responsabili commerciali con esperienza che senza esperienza. La retribuzione consisterà in una percentuale sulle vendite. Si tratta di un’ottima opportunità perché le vendite in questo settore generano ricavi elevati e ho preparato per voi condizioni interessanti in termini di percentuale sul fatturato.

Sarò lieta di ricevere le vostre candidature con una breve descrizione della vostra esperienza e della vostra disponibilità a collaborare!

Native speakers wanted to localise a small mobile arcade game and its app store page. We are hiring one translator per language, in Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese and Ukrainian. Apply for the one you are native in.

THE GAME

Hoverline is a fast arcade game. You fly a small jet down an endless course, weaving between pylons, skimming past them for bonus points, going faster and faster until you touch one and the run ends. It is played in short bursts, one-handed, mostly on a phone. It is a paid game launching on iOS and Android.

The writing is terse and confident. Short sentences. It talks about the run, not about the player's feelings, and it never congratulates you for nothing. Keeping that flatness matters more than any individual word choice.

THE WORK

Two parts:

1. The game itself: 527 strings, about 2,020 words. Menus, buttons, results screens, achievement names, settings. Two thirds of these are one to three words long, so this is interface writing rather than prose: each short label takes real thought about context, length and staying consistent with the other 526. Please do not quote it as if it were 2,000 words of continuous text.

2. The store listing: 10 fields, about 880 words, for the App Store and Google Play. This is transcreation, not translation. Write the page that sells this game to players in your market; do not render the English sentences into your language. Rewriting it completely is the correct outcome if that is what works. The keyword field must be researched for your market and never translated: it is a search field, and what people actually type is rarely a translation of the English words.

Please do part 1 first. The store page should reuse the terms you settle on in the game.

WHAT YOU GET

A single folder: a written brief, the strings as a CSV with the English and context for every row, and a glossary of terms that must not be translated. Nothing to install and nothing to sign into. Work in Excel, Numbers or Google Sheets and send the file back.

WHAT MATTERS

Some strings contain a placeholder: a short word wrapped in curly braces, which the game replaces with a real value when it runs, such as a player's name or a number. Copy every placeholder into your translation exactly as it appears, braces included. You can move one within the sentence, but it must not be renamed, translated or dropped. The file marks which rows contain them. Three strings need plural forms, and if your language needs more forms than English does, add them. Some strings sit in tight interface slots and carry a character limit, marked per row; over the limit, text is clipped or the layout breaks. No em dashes or en dashes anywhere, plain hyphen only.

IMPORTANT

The file contains an existing machine-generated draft, provided as context only. Please write "HOVERLINE" at the top of your application, just so we know you've read it. No native speaker has read any of it and much of it is wrong. Please ignore it and translate from the English, rather than polishing the draft or translating back from it. That is the entire reason this job exists.

We check how much of a returned file is unchanged from that draft. A file that comes back largely identical to it has not done the work.

WHAT TO QUOTE

Please quote a fixed price for the game strings and the store listing.

TO APPLY

Tell us which language you are native in.

Include one short paragraph, written in that language, naming a term in a game like this that you would translate differently from the obvious choice, and why. Two or three sentences is plenty. Applications without it will not be read.

Tell us briefly whether you play games, and on what.

We're a German Shopify store running on a custom theme, and we're expanding into the Italian market. Most of the content has already been translated using Langify, but we need help with the rest. Specifically, we're looking for someone to: adapt/localize images for the Italian market, adjust theme sections and layout where needed, translate the remaining content that Langify hasn't covered, and configure the theme/markets settings so certain pages are hidden or shown depending on the storefront (DE vs. IT).

I’m looking for a creative and sensitive person to manage a TikTok channel dedicated to a book I created about grief, remembrance, and the bond with someone we have lost, in Italian.

The book, *Eternamente parte di me*, is focused on emotional reflections, comforting words, memories, and the feeling that someone we love can remain part of us even after they are no longer physically present. The book is sold on Amazon.

The goal of the channel is to create emotional, respectful, relatable, and comforting content for people who are experiencing grief or want to remember someone they love.

You can check the channel here:

@eternamente.parte.di.me

The role includes:

• Posting 3 pieces of short-form content per day (carousels or videos) for 30 days (90 in total)
• Responding to comments and interacting naturally with viewers
• Testing different content formats, hooks, captions, and current TikTok trends

👉 The content is simple to create: short carousels or videos with emotional reflections, comforting messages, memories, grief-related thoughts, quotes, and gentle reminders for people who miss someone important.

The content can focus on themes such as:

• grief and loss
• missing someone you love
• memories that remain
• emotional healing
• the bond with someone who is no longer here
• comforting thoughts for difficult days
• love that continues beyond absence
• phrases people may want to save or share

The tone should always feel sincere, delicate, respectful, emotional, and comforting. This is a sensitive topic, so the content should never feel exaggerated, cold, or overly commercial.

Content can be created using simple tools such as Canva, CapCut, or AI-based tools. I will provide reference TikTok channels for inspiration, but you are encouraged to experiment with your own ideas and adapt the content naturally for an Italian audience.

📦 I will send you a physical copy of the book at my expense, so you can use it while creating content.

⸻

**Requirements:**

• Must live in Italy
• Fluent in Italian
• Familiar with TikTok and short-form content
• Creative, consistent, and interested in emotional, reflective, or memorial content
• Able to write natural, delicate, and emotionally engaging Italian
• Sensitive and respectful when dealing with grief-related topics

⸻

**Payment:**

• $100 for 30 days (90 pieces of content)
• Additional performance-based bonuses may be provided based on organic content performance

⸻

**Opportunity:**

This is a long-term opportunity. If the collaboration goes well, there will be the possibility to continue for several months.

I manage multiple books and TikTok channels in different languages, so there may also be opportunities to work on additional projects in the future.

**Note:** Only organic content creation is required. No artificial engagement or growth strategies are requested.

I am looking for an experienced literary translator to translate my published Italian novel into English.

The novel is titled "Anche se proibito – La folle impresa di Igor V. Savitsky" and tells the true story of Igor Savitsky, the man who, in the Soviet Union, managed to save 81k of works of art banned by the regime. In the remote desert of Karakalpakstan, far from Moscow, Savitsky secretly built one of the most extraordinary collections of avant-garde art in the world, hiding and protecting works that could have disappeared forever.

The book has already been published in Italy and received national media coverage. If you would like to see more, you can search for “Anche se proibito. La folle impresa di Igor V. Savitsky” on Amazon Italy.

I am looking for someone capable of producing a genuine literary translation from Italian into natural, elegant English, preserving the voice, rhythm, humour, atmosphere and emotional nuances of the original. I'm not closed to the use of AI if it helps the work of the translator but I'm absolutely not looking for an AI translation.

Ideally, you are:
* A native English speaker with excellent Italian skills
* Experienced in translating novels or other literary works
* Able to make the English version read as though it had originally been written in English
* Sensitive to style, dialogue, historical context and cultural references
* Willing to work closely with the author when passages require interpretation

A significant plus would be experience or professional connections within the US publishing industry. If you have relationships with American literary agents, publishers, editors or scouts, or previous experience helping translated fiction reach the US market, please mention this in your proposal.

The immediate assignment is the English translation of the novel, but I am particularly interested in finding someone who could also become a valuable partner in bringing the book to an international audience.

Attached the example of a chapter.

WordPress: Redesign, Refocus, Enhancement, and Implementation for an Established Italy Travel Site
We're looking to select who we'll work with within about two weeks of posting this — please get your proposal in as soon as possible but no later than August 25, 2026.
We have an established brand — Our Big Italian Adventure— helping travelers 50+ have unforgettable trips to Italy and feel confident and relaxed doing it. We provide guidance from the planning through the on-the-ground experience. Right now, our YouTube channel is the main vehicle for that, and our website only represents one piece of the brand. This project's primary goal is to bring the site in line with the channel, so it works as a real companion and support to it — not a separate, older identity competing for attention. Everything else the site does — resources, digital products, partner-facing credibility — supports that same purpose. It's a refocus, reorganization, and enhancement of an existing, content-heavy WordPress site with real search traffic and real business goals behind it, not a brand-new brochure build.
(website: ourbigitalianadventure.com; YouTube: youtube.com/@ourbigitalianadventure)
About the channel and audience
The channel currently has 56,400 subscribers and roughly 5.5 million lifetime views, with growth recently running around 350,000 views a month. Our audience skews notably older — viewers 55-64 and 65+ together account for well over half of our views — and is geographically North America-heavy (roughly half U.S., with Italy, Canada, the UK, and Australia making up most of the rest).
This matters directly for the design: this is a mature, discerning audience, not a 20-something demographic. The site shouldn't chase a glitzy or trend-driven aesthetic — but it shouldn't feel stodgy or ponderous either. The feel we're after is the same thing people tell us in our own video comments: approachable, credible, likable. That's the bar for the redesign's tone as well as its function.
Where the site is today
The site began years ago as a blog chronicling our (Ed and Anne's) experience buying land and building a house in Le Marche, Italy. That archive is still important — it's a major reason the site ranks well in search today — and needs to be preserved. But the site now needs to become the home base for a fast-growing brand: the YouTube videos, Italy travel resources, digital products, email signups, and a future (not-yet-built) membership offering.
The current site includes approximately:
• 278 posts
• 30 pages
• Older house-building/moving-to-Italy content
• Newer Italy travel/video/product content
• Important existing URLs connected to emails, QR codes, products, and search traffic — search is currently our dominant traffic source, ahead of YouTube/social
Some technical context worth knowing before you scope this: the site was self-built about 10 years ago on a child theme of "Accelerate" (ThemeGrill), with a substantial amount of hand-written custom CSS — not a page-builder site (no Divi/Elementor). Much of the content was created in the Classic Editor or raw HTML. We're leaning toward a modern page builder or the WordPress block editor rather than more hand-coded work, though we're open to your recommendation. Candidates should know going in that this is more "amateur hand-coded custom layout" than "swap out a page builder."
A few known issues to be aware of:
• Contact form submissions frequently land in our spam/junk folder — needs diagnosis and a fix.
• We use Kit for email capture and Payhip for digital product checkout, but we're not attached to either — they were a fast way to get started, not a considered long-term choice. We're currently collecting emails (mostly from free lead magnets like our Trip Planning Guide) but doing nothing with them afterward — no follow-up sequence exists. Recommendations welcome.
• A handful of affiliate integrations (GetYourGuide, Viator, Airalo, NordVPN, and some legacy links that may need auditing) need to carry over cleanly. No tracking pixels or complex integrations beyond these.
• We have some free analytics plugins installed, but haven't reviewed what they're reporting and aren't sure they're giving us anything useful — getting real, actionable analytics is one of the goals of this redesign (see Key goals below).
Two audiences this redesign has to serve
1. Viewers and travel planners. People coming from search or YouTube looking for real, practical Italy travel help.
2. Potential business partners — tourist boards, hotels, and travel product/service brands evaluating us as a partner. The overall feeling we want this audience to come away with is that we're a serious, credible business that can reach an audience and actually influence them to take action — not just a hobby blog — and that we're genuinely, deeply connected to Italy. This is also an audience with the time and means to travel deeply — longer stays, higher spend, not fast-hit checklist tourism — which is part of what makes us valuable to the partners we want to reach. We are currently building a media kit (audience stats, demographics) that may live on the site, but that's a supporting asset — the site's overall quality and credibility is what needs to carry this, not one stats page. We're also building out a presence on Instagram and Facebook (our audience skews 50+, so Facebook matters more than it might for a younger brand) — the site should be designed to fit into that wider multi-channel presence, not read as YouTube-plus-blog only.
Two-way traffic flow
This site needs to work as a bridge in both directions. Viewers arriving from a video (via the QR-code resource pages, below) should find a clear path to more content and, eventually, our products and future membership offering — not just the one link they came for. Viewers arriving from search (today, via the legacy house-building content; potentially, in the future, via more written content that mirrors our videos) should find a clear path toward the channel and our current offerings. Both directions matter, and right now the site does neither well.
The legacy content problem
The house-building archive is currently about 95% of the site's structural/visual focus — but that's simply because that's what most of the content is, and it tells a complete story on its own. We're not trying to shrink or remove it. What we want is for the other side — current travel content — to grow so the site's overall framing and emphasis shifts, without cutting anything from the archive itself.
One wrinkle worth flagging: within that older content, some posts (about food in Le Marche, local wineries, etc.) are probably closer in spirit to what we do now than to the house-building story itself and could potentially be pulled forward into the current travel-content structure — but that needs an actual audit of what's there, which hasn't been done yet. This assessment will be part of scoping, not something we can specify precisely today.
The URLs and SEO value of the archive need to be preserved regardless of how it's restructured — it's a real source of search traffic. The harder problem: we need a real mechanism for converting that incoming search traffic toward our current travel/YouTube content — we don't have a fixed idea of what that should look like and want your proposal to address it. The reverse direction (video driving people to the house content) isn't a priority.
Video resource pages
We want a repeatable system for YouTube video resource pages — but the real use case matters here: roughly half our audience watches on TV/connected devices, where they can't easily reach the video description. So each video includes a QR code that lands on a website page carrying the same links and content as the description. Design for that specific use case (a quick phone scan mid-video, often to grab a link) — fast mobile load, tap-friendly links — not a generic blog post. We may eventually rewrite these into fuller blog-style content, but that's our own content-authoring effort, not something to scope into your part of this project. What we need from you is a clean, repeatable template/system we can populate easily ourselves.
Key goals
• Read as a credible, professional presence to potential brand/tourism partners
• Shift the site's overall framing and emphasis toward current travel content, without cutting the legacy archive
• Create a better home for free Italy travel resources
• Preserve existing content and URLs wherever possible, given search is our dominant traffic source
• Build the QR-code-oriented video resource page system, as part of the broader two-way traffic flow between legacy/search content and current travel/video content
• Support digital products (one is currently live: an Italy Trip Planning Guide via Payhip; the second, a Dining Guide, will be out shortly) and future offerings
• Improve email capture and lay the groundwork for following up with subscribers, not just collecting addresses — not tied to keeping Kit/Payhip specifically
• Leave a clean architectural hook for a future membership offering — we're not building it now, but adding it later shouldn't require another full redesign
• Fix the contact form spam/deliverability issue
• Get real, actionable analytics — what's driving traffic in, and whether people are actually crossing between the legacy archive and current travel/video content
• Make the site something we can fully maintain ourselves going forward — content updates are our job, not an ongoing contract with you. We're leaning toward a modern page builder or the WordPress block editor rather than more hand-coded work, since that will be much easier for Anne especially, who's never worked in raw HTML — real hand-off/training should be part of the proposal.
• Use a safe staging/testing process before launch
Process and budget
We want this structured as two phases with an approval gate between them:
Phase 1 — Design. You gather input from us, come back with concepts, and we iterate until we land on a design we're genuinely happy with. You should be thinking about implementation feasibility throughout this phase — don't propose something you can't actually build — but the build itself doesn't start until we've signed off.
Phase 2 — Implementation. Build against the approved design.
We want a fixed-price contract, not hourly, with milestone-based payments (for example: a portion after design approval, further portions tied to implementation milestones, a small final payment at close-out) — propose the milestone structure you think fits.
Budget: roughly $4,000–$10,000 fixed price for the full project, depending on scope and approach. The top of that range is for candidates who can clearly demonstrate — through past work, not just claims — that they can deliver high quality on a fast timeline. Most proposals shouldn't assume the top of the range by default.
Timeline: no hard deadline for the work itself, but we want this moving as fast as quality allows — roughly two months as a mental target, though we're open to a different timeline if your proposal justifies it.
Ideal candidate
We're especially interested in someone (or a small team) who can cover both the creative/UX side and the technical/backend side of this — both matter. In our view, the backend/migration mechanics are the more straightforward, well-defined part given the known content volume; the creative/UX work and the partner-facing credibility question are the harder, more differentiating part of this project. We're also specifically looking for experience with content-heavy WordPress redesigns — not new builds from scratch.
Please include in your reply
1 Your rough plan for approaching a project like this — what steps you'd take and in what order — along with your relevant experience doing similar work. This is a first-pass filter, not a request for a fully detailed proposal; if we narrow down to one or two candidates, we'll go deeper on specifics with them directly.
2 Links to 2–3 relevant projects that best show your design work — ideally content-heavy or travel/lifestyle sites — so we can judge your visual/UX judgment directly.
3 Your experience with the implementation side of content-heavy WordPress redesigns specifically (not new builds) — including how you protect existing URLs, SEO value, and internal links during a migration, given search is our dominant traffic source.
4 Whether your proposal covers both design and implementation yourself, or as a team — and if a team, who does what, with examples of each person's part.
5 How you'd structure the design phase — what you'd deliver, how revisions would work, and how we'd land on an approved design before implementation begins.
6 Whether you recommend the WordPress block editor, a page builder, or another approach — and why (it's fine to describe how you'd decide rather than commit to an answer right now).
7 How you'd set up analytics to show us what's driving traffic in, and whether people are moving between the legacy content and our current travel/video content.
8 How you'd approach the site's core traffic-flow architecture — routing viewers who land from a video toward more content and offerings, and viewers who land from search toward the channel and current content (including the video resource pages described earlier).

Multilingual Script Editor / Language Reviewer for European E Commerce Brand

We are a fast growing European e commerce brand producing a high volume of video scripts and social content across multiple countries.

We are looking for reliable language reviewers who can improve and polish existing scripts on a weekly basis.

This is not primarily a copywriting role.

The scripts already exist.

Your job is to make them sound better, more natural and grammatically correct in the target language.

You will improve:

Sentence structure
Grammar
Spelling
Natural phrasing
Flow
Readability
Spoken language
Awkward AI generated wording
Literal translations
Local language nuances

The goal is simple: the final script should sound like it was written by a native speaker, not translated word for word or generated by AI.

The scripts are mainly used for:

Social media videos
Paid advertisements
UGC style videos
Voice overs
Short form content

Because these scripts will often be spoken out loud, natural sentence structure and conversational language are very important.

Languages we are looking for

You must be fluent or native in at least one of the following languages:

Dutch
German
Danish
Swedish
French
Norwegian
Italian
Finnish

If you speak more than one of these languages at a professional or native level, that is a major advantage.

You do not need to speak all of them.

We are also open to working with multiple people, each responsible for one or more languages.

What you will do
Review existing scripts
Correct grammar and spelling
Improve sentence structure
Rewrite unnatural sentences
Make translated copy sound native
Remove awkward AI wording
Improve flow between sentences
Make scripts easier and more natural to speak
Check whether expressions make sense in the local market
Keep the original meaning and marketing angle intact
Flag anything that sounds incorrect or unnatural

We are not looking for someone who completely rewrites every script.

We want someone who can improve the existing material efficiently while keeping the original concept and message.

What we are looking for
Native or near native language skills
Strong grammar and writing skills
Excellent understanding of natural spoken language
Detail oriented
Fast and efficient
Comfortable working with recurring batches
Reliable with deadlines
Able to start soon
Interested in weekly long term work

Experience with social media, e commerce, advertising or script editing is a plus, but not required.

What matters most is that you have excellent language skills and can quickly recognize when a sentence sounds unnatural.

Work structure
Weekly recurring work
Long term collaboration
Remote
Scripts are provided
You review and improve them
Communication through Slack
Volume is expected to increase over time
When applying, please include
Which languages you speak fluently or natively
Your level for each language
Your hourly rate
Your weekly availability
Any experience with proofreading, editing, translation or script review
Whether you are comfortable reviewing AI generated or translated content
How quickly you can usually review a batch of 10 short scripts
