Partnerships Manager Europe - Remote SaaS Role — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
Location Flexibility: This role is focused on Europe, UK, and LATAM markets, but the job posting does not explicitly state whether it is remote, hybrid, or office-based. Given the requirement to travel across Europe for partner meetings and events, it carries a strong in-person component — digital nomads should clarify the remote policy before applying.
Travel Component: The role explicitly requires willingness to travel across Europe for partner meetings, training sessions, and industry conferences. This suits nomads who are already Europe-based and can move between countries fluidly, but it is not a "work from anywhere" role — you need consistent European availability and likely a fixed European base for visa and tax purposes.
Visa Considerations: Since Storyly (Appsamurai Inc) is a Turkish-headquartered company with a European focus, contractors or employees may have flexibility on location. EU citizens have the easiest path. Non-EU nomads should investigate digital nomad visas in countries like Portugal (D8 visa), Spain (Digital Nomad Visa), or Germany (Freiberufler) if employed as contractors.
Nomad-Friendly Caution: With no salary data disclosed and no explicit mention of remote perks (equipment stipend, coworking budget), nomads should probe the compensation structure and remote policy carefully during interviews. The frequent travel requirement makes slow-travel setups more practical than rapid country-hopping.
