RVP Commercial Sales at Smartsheet - Remote US — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
This role is tagged #LI-Remote and explicitly allows teleworking from any registered U.S. location, making it viable for location-flexible professionals — but with a critical constraint: you must be registered to work in the U.S. International nomad arrangements are not supported.
As an RVP managing 35+ individual contributors and 4+ managers, expect regular team check-ins, pipeline reviews, and leadership calls during standard U.S. business hours (likely ET–PT overlap windows). This is not an async-friendly role — sales leadership demands real-time coaching, deal support, and forecasting cadences. Expect structured weekly rhythms tied to monthly and quarterly targets.
- Visa consideration: U.S. citizens and green card holders can work remotely from anywhere within the 50 states. If you travel internationally, working on a tourist visa in countries like Portugal or Mexico may be technically possible for short stints, but your legal work registration must remain U.S.-based.
- Salary vs. cost of living: At $160K–$220K base (plus incentive compensation), you could live very comfortably in lower cost-of-living U.S. cities like Austin, Nashville, or Denver while maintaining a top-tier compensation package.
- Travel-relevant perks: Monthly productivity stipend could offset coworking costs. No explicit travel budget mentioned, though sales leadership roles often include team offsites.
Bottom line: ideal for U.S.-based nomads who roam domestically, but not suited for international location independence.
