Business correspondence (letters, emails, memos)
Presentations and other internal/external business communications
Other business-related documentation as required.
Provide oral interpretation (consecutive, as appropriate) during business meetings, calls, and discussions when requested.
Maintain and continuously improve terminology consistency (e.g., bilingual glossaries, standard translations of recurring clauses and phrases, naming conventions).
Ensure translations preserve meaning and intent, including careful handling of legal and business terminology and context, while maintaining readability.
Perform quality control (self-review and/or peer review where available), including checking grammar, formatting, completeness, and alignment with source documents.
Coordinate with internal stakeholders to clarify ambiguous source text and confirm intended meaning, deadlines, and audience requirements.
Where external translation support is engaged, review vendor translations for quality and consistency, and consolidate feedback.
Handle sensitive information with strict confidentiality and sound judgment.
What qualifications, skills and experience would help someone to be successful?
Bachelor’s or specialist’s degree in Translation, Linguistics, Philology, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).
Minimum 5 years of relevant experience

Strong command of written English, Uzbek and Russian, including excellent grammar, punctuation, and business writing conventions.
Proven ability to translate complex materials with accuracy, including contracts and corporate governance documentation.
Ability to provide oral interpretation support when needed, with professional composure and clarity.
High attention to detail, strong time-management skills, and the ability to manage multiple priorities and deadlines.
Strong stakeholder management skills, including the ability to work effectively with legal, investment, and operational teams.
Proficiency with standard productivity tools (e.g., Microsoft Office); familiarity with CAT tools/translation memory is a plus.
High ethical standards, discretion, and reliability.
