This posting is for interpreters who work via video remote interpreting (VRI) or over-the-phone interpreting (OPI). You can be located anywhere in Minnesota — or outside Minnesota, if you hold the relevant state credentials. All assignment details and rates are posted before you accept.

What you’ll do

Accept remote interpretation assignments dispatched through the Lingfaro app. VRI sessions require a reliable internet connection, a camera, and a quiet private space. OPI sessions use standard phone or soft-phone. You see session details, the institution, and the rate before accepting every offer.

What we’re looking for

  • Professional interpreters in any language in demand in Minnesota
  • Experience in medical, legal, social-services, or educational interpretation
  • Technical setup for VRI: reliable broadband, camera, quiet private workspace
  • Willingness to maintain a consistent availability schedule

What you get

  • Rate posted with every offer
  • Direct-deposit payouts on a biweekly cycle
  • Daily caps and availability you control — set your own schedule
  • Statewide reach from any location
  • No exclusivity
  • 1099-NEC at year-end

The statewide pool handles urgent requests that can’t be filled locally, language coverage for less-common languages, and after-hours demand when on-site interpreters aren’t available. If you’re a credentialed interpreter in any Minnesota community language and prefer remote work, this posting is for you.
