About the role
VoiceLine LS is accepting applications from qualified Somali interpreters for remote, on-demand interpretation opportunities supporting clients worldwide.
Somali is commonly spoken in or associated with Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya, and Djibouti. These locations describe major language communities and do not restrict eligibility: this opportunity is remote worldwide and open to qualified applicants globally.
This is a freelance independent-contractor opportunity, not a salaried or guaranteed-hours position. Interpreters provide live services on both audio and video calls and may choose when they are available. Call volume varies based on client demand, language, time zone, qualifications, and performance.
