Japanese Linguist Paid Intern-Fixed Term Contract

Locaria provides global online content services across all digital channels. Our digital content specialists work creatively to meet business needs.

We’re also a place where careers genuinely flourish, rather than get stifled due to lack of progress or resources. Agile, data-driven and pioneering, you won’t find layers and layers of management here. Instead, you’ll discover a buzzing environment where bright, innovative and visionary people work in small autonomous teams that give them the freedom they need to thrive.
