About ElevenLabs
What is ElevenLabs?
ElevenLabs is a London-based AI voice and speech-synthesis startup founded in 2022. Their generative-AI voice models power text-to-speech, dubbing, voice cloning and audiobook generation for media, entertainment, and accessibility customers. Recent funding includes a $500M Series D in February 2026 (Sequoia-led, $11B valuation) on top of a $180M Series C in January 2025.
While ElevenLabs runs a full-time engineering, research, sales and operations team out of London and New York, they also engage a network of freelance language specialists — transcribers, dubbing artists, audiobook narrators, and translator/linguists — to help train and validate their multilingual voice models.
Where will I work?
Fully remote for the freelance specialist roles, scoped to specific European countries per language (Germany, UK most common). The HQ for the full-time team is London with a New York office.
What is the ElevenLabs team like?
The core team is high-intensity AI startup culture — fast-moving, ambitious, deeply technical. The freelance specialist network is separate from the FT team and operates project-by-project.
Work-Life Balance
The part-time freelance specialist roles (4 currently active) are explicitly remote and project-based. Hours vary by project; typical engagements are a few hours to ~20 hrs/week. Strong fit for language professionals who want to apply linguistic expertise to AI training without leaving an existing day job.
