Director of Business Dev at Hello Alice - Remote US — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
US-Only Remote — Limited Nomad Flexibility
Hello Alice explicitly restricts this role to US-based candidates, which means international digital nomads or those on tourist/digital nomad visas abroad are not eligible. If you hold a US work authorization and want to work remotely while moving between US cities, this role offers that flexibility — the company is fully remote with no stated fixed office requirement.
Schedule & Async Considerations: This is a senior enterprise sales role requiring active client engagement, C-level relationship management, and cross-functional collaboration. Expect largely synchronous work during standard US business hours. It is not well-suited to async-first work styles or major timezone offsets.
Travel Requirement: The posting explicitly states a need to travel on a semi-regular basis — a meaningful consideration for nomads or those who prefer a fixed base. Budget for domestic travel to enterprise client meetings and partner events.
- Work-from-home stipend helps offset remote office costs, useful if you're bouncing between US locations
- No mention of coworking allowance or international meetup budget
- Preferred locations (NYC, Texas, Chicago) signal that proximity to major business hubs is advantageous
For true location-independent nomads, this role is a poor fit due to the US-only restriction and synchronous sales demands. Consider it if you're a US-based remote worker comfortable with occasional client travel.
