What does a language service provider do?

A Language Service Provider (LSP) offers professional translation, interpretation, localization, and related language services to help organizations communicate across different languages and cultures. LSPs work with businesses, governments, and individuals to ensure accurate and culturally appropriate communication. They may use human linguists, technology, or a combination of both to deliver high-quality results quickly and efficiently.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a language service provider?

To thrive as a Language Service Provider, you need advanced proficiency in at least two languages, a strong understanding of linguistic nuances, and typically a degree in translation, linguistics, or a related field. Familiarity with computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools, terminology management systems, and relevant certifications such as ATA or ISO standards is often required. Excellent communication, cultural sensitivity, attention to detail, and time management skills help set candidates apart. These competencies are vital for delivering accurate, culturally appropriate language solutions and managing multiple projects efficiently.

What are the most common challenges language service providers face in their daily work?

Language Service Providers often encounter challenges such as tight deadlines, handling a diverse range of subject matter, and maintaining accuracy while adapting to different cultural contexts. They may need to juggle multiple projects at once, frequently switching between languages or industries, which requires exceptional organizational skills. Staying up to date with evolving technology and industry standards is also key. However, these challenges are balanced by the dynamic nature of the work, the opportunity to collaborate with global clients and teams, and continuous professional development in the language industry.

Location: Bellevue, Washington - On-site
Status: Full-time, salaried exempt
Pay Range: $100,000-$110,000 per year, plus commission and performance-based incentive compensation.
Manager, Sign Language Access & CART Services
Universal Language Service, Inc. ("UniversalLanguage") is seeking a hands-on Manager to lead American Sign Language (ASL), signed-language, DeafBlind, Communication Access Realtime Translation (CART), captioning, transcription, and accessible-event operations.
The Manager owns operations from request intake and interpreter scheduling through service delivery, quality, billing support, reporting, and growth. The role also wins and launches new customers and expands services and service modalities with existing customers.
About the Role
The Manager will be directly responsible for scheduling and coordinating ASL and related services, supervising assigned W-2 staff interpreters and operations-support employees, overseeing after-hours scheduling activity performed by designated team members, and coordinating service delivery and provider relationships across a network of approximately 300 independent ASL, signed-language, Deaf interpreter, DeafBlind, CART, captioning, and accessibility providers.
The Manager serves as the primary department representative to customers, interpreters, captioners, community partners, and internal teams.
This role is based in UniversalLanguage's Bellevue office. The normal work schedule is Monday through Friday, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time, with local travel, event support, and on-call availability after normal business hours as needed.
What You Will Own
  • Daily ASL, signed-language, and CART request intake and scheduling, including confirmations, replacements, cancellations, event readiness, service recovery, verification, and closeout, with oversight of after-hours scheduling activity and follow-up.
  • Coverage planning for in-person, scheduled virtual, and on-demand VRI services; critical requests; Deaf interpreter and DeafBlind services; CART; captioning; transcription; and accessible events.
  • Recruiting, interviewing, onboarding, credentialing, training, mentoring, readiness, retention, provider relations, rate recommendations, and the development of specialty and regional capacity.
  • Leadership, coaching, performance management, cross-training, succession planning, and accountability for assigned employees.

  • Customer success and expansion: Lead discovery, implementations, business reviews, retention, and expansion into additional sites, departments, geographic areas, hours, use cases, services, and service modalities.
  • New-customer development: Lead target-account outreach, discovery, ASL, signed-language, and CART proposals and RFPs, pricing input, presentations, pilots, contracting support, implementation, and operational handoff.
  • Accessible conferences, town halls, webinars, training sessions, meetings, public meetings, and events, including interpreter and captioner teams, audiovisual systems, platforms, venues, preparation, and backup arrangements.
  • Department dashboards, standard operating procedures, staffing plans, budgets, forecasts, direct costs, contribution margin, invoice support, provider payments, and prevention of billing leakage.
  • Accurate representation of UniversalLanguage in customer, provider, community, conference, and approved public meetings.
Occasional Hands-On ASL Interpreting
Hands-on coverage is part of the role.
After reasonable attempts to secure qualified staff, contractors, or approved backup resources, the Manager may occasionally provide ASL interpreting by video or in person as temporary bridge coverage.
The Manager must be currently qualified, credentialed, trained, rested, conflict-free, approved by the customer when required, and working within demonstrated competence. This responsibility is secondary to management and is not routine production interpreting.

  • Knowledge of Deaf, DeafBlind, hard-of-hearing, late-deafened, interpreting, and captioning communities and effective communication practices.
  • Financial and analytical capability, including experience with budgets, pricing, direct costs, contribution margin, dashboards, and billing controls.
  • Strong proposal-writing, presentation, customer-facing, coaching, negotiation, and change-management skills.
  • Ability to work from the Bellevue office, travel locally, support events, and provide after-hours support as needed.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Prior leadership experience involving ASL interpreter operations, accessibility programs, healthcare or government contracts, multistate services, or large independent-provider networks.
  • Current Washington ODHH approval and experience in medical, mental health, legal, DeafBlind, ProTactile, or foreign sign language settings.
  • Operational knowledge of CART and real-time captioning, applicable NCRA credentials, captioning technology, transcripts, audiovisual systems, platforms, and accessible events.
  • Bachelor's or master's degree in interpreting, Deaf studies, accessibility, linguistics, business, operations, healthcare administration, or a related field. Equivalent professional experience will be considered.
  • Experience with Salesforce or a similar CRM, scheduling systems, DHHIS, ProviderOne, VRI platforms, reporting tools, Lean/Six Sigma, or project management.
Compensation and Benefits
  • Base Salary: $100,000-$110,000 annually, plus commission.
  • Annual Incentive: Performance-based bonus.
  • Commission: Up to 5% based on the applicable commission plan and qualifying performance results.
  • Eligibility for the Company's full-time health, welfare, retirement, paid time off, paid sick leave, holiday, and other benefit programs, subject to applicable plan terms and Company policies.
