• Written Translation - Ensure translation is readable and understandable, while not losing any major concepts or important details.
• Grammar, spelling, and writing skills are important to convey the core of any translated messages.
• Information Organization - Organize information and find ways to structure multiple pieces of information.
• Team Collaboration - Ensure you are working collaboratively with all members of the team - both within Riot and with non-Riot partners.
• Cultural Sensitivity - Enhance understanding of both Chinese and American business practices to influence any team communications.

• Bilingual Fluency in Mandarin and English. Experience translating both verbally and through documentation.

Desired Qualifications:
• 1+ year Translation experience with knowledge of terminology management and CAT tools
