If you identify yourself to have a pair of eagle eyes, relish the idea of picking out mistakes from one's written work in the comforts of an air-conditioned environment, you may be the person that we're looking for!
[About The Opportunity]
As a Caption Review Assistant, your mission is to ensure that our video captions are written accurately, so that we're able to give the best viewing experience to our learners.
Being successful in your role means that our viewers are able to better understand what they're watching by reading your captions.
Here's How We're Looking To Run This:
- The videos that you'll be working with have been processed by a human captioner.
- However, not every piece of work by the human captioner is perfect. Your role is to review the captions and make the necessary changes based on our organisation's caption guidelines.
- For every video, you'll get access to a video link, together with the transcripts and accompanying time-stamps.
Work Commitment:
- We're seeking for a minimum commitment of 5 hours per week, which can scale further depending on your ability to commit. Ultimately, we're looking to keep a small, close-knit group of caption reviewers that we can rely & trust for all of our video projects.
- You'll kickstart this role by putting in at least 20 hours* of onsite work at our Upper Thomson office (Singapore 576151) where you'll be reviewing the captions together with our Marketing Team. Subsequently, you can either choose to work from home or at our office, depending on your preference.
- If you wish to pursue other opportunities, the notice period is one (1) week and all we expect is for you to complete the projects assigned.
*You can complete this requirement over 4 weeks (at a frequency of 5 hours a week), within a week (at a frequency of 7 hours per day, over 3 days) OR something in between.

[Application Instructions]
