Remote Channel Sales Manager APJ – Horizon3.ai — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
This role is fully remote at a 100% remote-first company — a strong baseline for location flexibility. However, the 50% travel requirement across the APJ region (Asia-Pacific-Japan) is a major lifestyle consideration. Expect frequent trips to markets like Japan, Australia, India, Singapore, and Southeast Asia, which significantly limits the "work from anywhere quietly" nomad fantasy.
Schedule flexibility: Channel sales involves partner calls, executive check-ins, and event attendance, which must align with APJ business hours (roughly UTC+5:30 to UTC+9). If you're based in Europe or the Americas, you'll face significant timezone friction. The role is best suited to someone physically living in the APJ region.
Visa considerations: Singapore-based applicants can operate on a standard Employment Pass. For nomads, Singapore's Tech.Pass or conventional EP are options if the company sponsors. Australia, Japan, and India each have different requirements for business travel — multiple-entry business visas are essential.
- Singapore: High cost of living (~$3,500–$5,000/mo for a professional), but excellent transit hub for APJ travel.
- Kuala Lumpur: Lower cost (~$1,200–$1,800/mo), DE Rantau nomad visa available, strong connectivity — a viable base between trips.
- Bali/Chiang Mai: Budget-friendly but timezone alignment and frequent APJ flights make these less practical given 50% travel.
The required 25 Mbps broadband is easily met across most APJ urban centers.
Get to Know Us
Horizon3.ai is a fast-growing, remote cybersecurity company dedicated to the mission of enabling organizations to proactively find, fix, and verify exploitable attack vectors before criminals exploit them. Our flagship product, the NodeZero™ platform, delivers production-safe autonomous pentests and other key assessment operations that scale across the largest internal, external, cloud, and hybrid cloud environments.

We are a fusion of former U.S. Special Operations cyber operators, startup engineers & operators, and formerly frustrated cybersecurity practitioners. We're committed to helping solve our common security problems: ineffective security tools and false positives, resulting in alert fatigue, blind spots, "checkbox" security culture, cybersecurity skills shortage, and the long lead time and expense of hiring outside consultants. Collectively, we are a team of learn-it-alls, committed to a culture of respect, collaboration, ownership, and results.
As a remote-first company, we require a minimum 25 Mbps consumer-grade broadband connection.
