Company & Role Overview

Favella Translations is a Singapore-based translation agency supporting international clients in the legal, financial, medical and luxury sector with precise, time-sensitive translation and interpretation in 30+ languages.

As a Junior Operations Executive, you will be supporting the day-to-day operations of the business and work directly with our founder and Head Translator.

From arranging interpreters for foreign diplomats to coordinating the translation of high-stakes contracts, you will be involved in delivering top-notch services in an international and multi-cultural environment with strong opportunities for growth.

We are looking for a team player with the right attitude - someone who shares our values of precision, service mindset, and ambition to continuously improve. If this sounds like you, we look forward to working together.

This role is designed as a structured learning pathway into operations management, with the goal of becoming fully independent within 6-9 months.
