Remote Recruiter at RenoFi - US/GMT Timezones — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
RenoFi is a fully distributed, globally remote team that explicitly states it spans timezones and nationalities — a solid green flag for location-independent workers. However, there's a meaningful caveat: the posting prioritizes US or GMT-adjacent timezones, which narrows flexibility for nomads based in Southeast Asia or the Pacific.
The role itself — recruiting, pipeline management, stakeholder updates — is largely async-compatible, though weekly stakeholder calls and real-time candidate coordination suggest some overlap with US business hours (ET/CT) will be required. GMT-adjacent destinations like Lisbon (WET/WEST) or Medellín (COT, UTC-5) are well-positioned for this overlap.
- Lisbon, Portugal: GMT/WEST — perfect timezone fit. Monthly cost of living ~$1,800–$2,500. Portugal's Digital Nomad Visa (D8) is a strong option for longer stays.
- Medellín, Colombia: UTC-5, aligns well with US East Coast. Cost of living ~$1,200–$1,800/month. Colombia offers a digital nomad visa for stays up to 2 years.
- Bangkok, Thailand: UTC+7 — challenging for US hour overlap; not ideal given timezone prioritization.
No explicit travel perks (coworking stipend, equipment budget) are mentioned, though the distributed-first culture suggests some infrastructure support likely exists. Ask about equipment and home-office allowances during the interview process. The flexible vacation policy is a nomad-friendly perk for managing travel logistics.

About Us
The demand for home renovations has never been stronger, yet it's surprisingly difficult for a new homeowner to renovate. It can take a decade to build up enough home equity and savings to pay for a major renovation. As a result, recent homeowners often resort to financially suboptimal solutions like borrowing from their 401k, racking up credit card debt, or using high-interest personal loans — or they live unhappily for years in a home that doesn't meet their family's needs.
By completing a major renovation, homeowners increase the value of their home. Professional real estate investors leverage this After Renovation Value (ARV) to roll increases in value into new properties. RenoFi created a platform that enables homeowners to borrow funds from RenoFi-approved lenders in the form of the first home equity loan purpose-built for renovations. Unlike standard home equity loans, RenoFi Loans use the post-renovation value of your home, letting you borrow the most money at the best possible terms.
For homeowners, RenoFi makes it possible to renovate years earlier than otherwise feasible. For contractors, we empower renovation financing at the point of sale. Our lender partners — most often credit unions — rely on RenoFi's platform to generate loans, create efficiencies, and grow membership. RenoFi is truly a win-win-win for everyone involved.
RenoFi is backed by some of the best startup investors in the world, including First Round Capital, Comcast Ventures, and Canaan Partners.
We Are a Globally Distributed Team
RenoFi has been built from the start as a fully distributed team with an intentional focus on growing a strong team and culture that spans timezones and nationalities. Here's one fun example!
Please highlight any prior experience working remotely when applying. US or GMT-adjacent timezones will be prioritized.
RenoFi offers competitive cash and equity compensation. Some benefit offerings will vary by country. In the United States, we offer competitive health and retirement plans. All staff across the globe enjoy a flexible vacation policy.
