For our prestigious client in the e-commerce industry, we are seeking a talented Canadian French Copywriter to join our freelance team at OLIVER Agency. As a Copywriter, you will be embedded in the client's marketing cycle, transcreating and adapting copy from English into Canadian French across a range of marketing channels, while helping ensure content is accurate, engaging, locally relevant, and consistent with the brand's tone of voice and standards.

Work Model: 100% remote

Key Responsibilities

• Transcreate marketing copy so the intended message, tone, and brand personality are preserved in Canadian French.
• Deliver high-quality copy for product launches and descriptions, and maintain consistency across customer-facing marketing materials spanning web, in-store, direct mail, print, social, digital, and other channels.
• Post-edit and adapt machine-translated copy to ensure accuracy, fluency, and quality.
• Localise copy for the target market while staying true to brand’s tone of voice, messaging, and inclusive writing standards.
• Proofread and edit copy during final in-situ validation to ensure accuracy, clarity, and consistency.
• Write creative copy and headlines for selected deliverables, including English back-translations of localised headlines.
• Research product and technical details and work with cross-functional teams, project managers, and editors to ensure accuracy.
• Stay informed about market trends, cultural changes, and socio-political developments in the Canadian French market that may affect copy and localisation decisions.
• Give brief feedback on AI/machine-translated output as part of the quality review process.

Core competencies:

Experience & Skills:

• Minimum 5+ years copywriting or localisation writing experience.
• Proven transcreation expertise – working creatively from English into Canadian French, not just translating.
• Excellent time management and prioritisation skills, especially under tight deadlines.
• Experience with premium or tech brands.
• Strong body copy adaptation skills, including machine translation post-editing and adaptation.

Non-negotiable for all candidates:

• Native-level fluency in Canadian French.
• Proven understanding of inclusive language guidelines.
• Active experience working directly from English source copy.
• Proofing discipline – typos and grammar errors in final submissions are unacceptable.
• Portfolio showing delivered projects for international brands.

On diversity:

We are actively looking for a diverse pool across gender, background and experience – from agency, in-house, and freelance backgrounds, and across brand categories including tech, consumer, and lifestyle.

Candidates with a specific transcreation focus or training are preferred.
