Commercial AE at Gong - Hybrid Remote Utah Role — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
This is not a location-independent remote role. Despite being listed on a remote job board, this position explicitly requires candidates to be located in the Lehi, Utah area and work a hybrid schedule of 3 days per week in Gong's office. Digital nomads or remote workers hoping to work from abroad will not meet the location requirements.
The role is essentially a hybrid office position, not async-friendly. Sales calls, pipeline management, and pilot programs require real-time coordination, and in-office presence is mandatory. There is no mention of timezone flexibility — candidates must be physically present near Lehi, UT on a regular schedule.
What this means for travelers:
- You must be a US resident with reliable proximity to Lehi, Utah — not suitable for full-time nomads or those based abroad.
- The work-from-home stipend and flexible vacation are the only remote-adjacent perks, and they apply to the remaining 2 non-office days.
- The $130,000 OTE is competitive for the Salt Lake City/Lehi area, but keep in mind it is location-adjusted and may not apply to other regions.
If you're a nomad seeking a fully remote sales role, look instead for "fully remote Account Executive" positions that explicitly state no office requirement and are open to candidates across US time zones or internationally.
Headquarters: Chicago | Salt Lake City | Remote (US)
