Junior Linguist - Full-time Temporary Contract

Mango Languages is seeking a Linguist with exceptional content instincts to lead an ambitious development initiative. The Linguist will be responsible for planning and executing a clear strategy for long-form content across multiple products, maintaining high-quality standards—even in languages the candidate may not speak—and ensuring that projects remain on schedule. Close collaboration with linguists, stakeholders, and cross-functional teams is essential, along with clear, consistent communication and thorough documentation.

Ideal candidates will bring a background in linguistics, a passion for global cultures, and a deep understanding of what makes content effective and engaging. Experience with language-learning tools and creating diverse content types—such as articles, songs, and stories—is key, as is a strong comfort level using AI tools responsibly. The role will require cultural sensitivity, organizational efficiency, and a collaborative spirit, with a bonus for those who have proficiency in less commonly taught or non-Indo European languages. Candidates must be adaptable, communicative, and motivated by a love of language learning and cross-cultural exchange.

The contract for this position is tied to a specific project and will therefore last through project completion (likely 6-9 months). Contract extensions and/or conversion to employee status are a possibility if the project is extended and collaboration is successful.
