We are looking for a strategic, hands-on, and innovative Language Technology Consultant. As Language Technology Consultant, you will help strengthen the IDB Group’s multilingual technology ecosystem by improving and scaling translation and multilingual content workflows, supporting the use of CAT(Computer-Assisted Translation)/TMS(Translation Management System), machine translation, AI-enabled language tools and automation solutions, and developing practical governance guidance and guardrails for responsible use. This work will be anchored in two flagship initiatives: (i) the development of an institution-wide AI translation platform built on the IDB Group’s enterprise cloud AI services, which will leverage curated institutional language assets, including a translation memory of human translations spanning the past 20 years, to deliver high-precision translations consistent with the IDB Group’s terminology, semantics, and style; and (ii) the implementation and integration of a new enterprise neural machine translation solution into the existing CAT/TMS environment to accelerate translation turnaround times.
You will work in the Translation and Documentation Section (SEC/TRD) and support the Systems and Digital innovation Section, both part of the Office of the Secretary. SEC/TRD is responsible for multilingual document services, terminology and translation-asset management, document processing, and related guidance that support institutional communication, governance, and operations.
