Your New Role

The English Transcriber Specialist supports the creation of English scripting and transcription deliverables for entertainment content, ensuring technical accuracy, consistency, and timely delivery within WBD’s localization lifecycle.

The role performs self-review and proofreading to ensure transcripts are free of grammatical, spelling, punctuation, and formatting errors.

  • Additional responsibilities include researching names, terminology, locations, and references using approved sources; applying WBD formatting standards and templates consistently; escalating unclear audio or creative ambiguities to the appropriate reviewer; maintaining confidentiality for sensitive or restricted content.

  • Coordinate assigned workload; meet established deadlines; maintain required quality standards for accuracy and speed; coordinate with team members on daily assignments; and use internal tracking tools for work queue management.

  • All work must comply with brand standards, departmental needs, and applicable.

  • Proficiency with productivity and collaboration tools is expected, along with the ability to collaborate effectively with internal peers.
