Medical Transcriptionist (Junior)

About the role

Granary Group is adding a Medical Transcriptionist (Junior) to the team this quarter. This is a beginner-friendly remote position designed for someone who is enthusiastic about transcription work, communicates clearly in writing, and is ready to learn quickly inside a small, supportive team. Pay is in the range of $15–$25 per hour for general work; $25–$45 per hour for medical/legal for entry-level applicants in the United States, and the company has a track record of promoting from within when team members hit the milestones outlined in their first ninety days.

Time on the calendar is intentionally limited so you have long stretches of uninterrupted work — meetings cap out at four hours per week. The team operates across multiple time zones but documents decisions in writing so you can ramp up at your own pace, regardless of where you live.

Promotion paths into more senior transcription work or into adjacent functions (operations, product, customer success) are well-trodden.

What you'll do

• Own a clearly-scoped portion of the transcription workload from your first month, with progressive ownership as you learn the systems.
• Collaborate across functions — engineering, marketing, customer-facing teams — to keep work moving without blocking on synchronous meetings.
• Document what you learn so the next hire ramps faster than you did.
• Bring questions, edge cases, and small improvements to your weekly check-in. We treat questions as a sign of engagement, not weakness.

If that sounds like the right pace and the right kind of work for you, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll bring

• Good headphones and quiet workspace
• Typing speed of 60+ words per minute
• Strong listening comprehension and English grammar
• Patience with unclear audio
• Comfort with playback shortcuts and foot pedals (optional)
• Reliable internet, a quiet place to take occasional video calls, and the willingness to be part of a written-first culture.

Tools you'll use

You do not need to be expert in all of these on day one — most can be learned in a week of focused effort — but familiarity with a few will make your first month significantly easier:

• Express Scribe
• oTranscribe
• Otter.ai
• Trint
• Descript

Why this role suits a beginner

We have hired multiple people into Transcription roles with no prior remote experience. Our onboarding is structured around the first 90 days, with a named buddy, a weekly review with your manager, and a clear competency map you progress through at your own pace. Pay is reviewed at six months and annually thereafter.

If you are ready to take a serious step into remote work and like the sound of a quiet, written-first team, we'd love to hear from you.

How we hire

Our process is short: a written application, a 30-minute introduction call, a small paid take-home, and a final conversation with two people from the team. We respond to every application within ten business days and give specific written feedback to anyone who reaches the take-home stage, regardless of outcome.
