Remote BDR at Postscript - Work Anywhere in North America — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
Remote Since 2018 — But North America Only: Postscript explicitly limits this role to North America (US and Canada), which is a meaningful constraint for nomads. While the job is fully remote, you'll need to maintain a North American presence for compliance and, more practically, for prospect engagement during North American business hours.
Timezone Considerations: As a BDR, your work revolves around live prospect outreach — cold calls, follow-ups, and meetings. This makes the role distinctly timezone-dependent, anchored to ET/CT/PT business hours. Working from Lisbon (ET+5) or Bangkok (ET+11) would make effective cold calling extremely difficult. Medellín (ET+0 or ET-1) is actually a strong fit if you're based in Latin America, as it aligns perfectly with US Eastern time.
Visa & Location Reality: Since the role is North America-only, traditional digital nomad visa options (Portugal's D8, Mexico's temporary resident visa) are not positioned as valid work bases by the employer. US workers might use tourist stays in Mexico or Canada without issues, but non-North American residents would face barriers to being hired.
Salary vs. Nomad Cost of Living: The $50K base is modest, but the uncapped variable commission could significantly boost take-home. In Medellín, $50K base goes very far; in Lisbon or Bangkok, the base is competitive — though those locations are likely not permissible under the role's geographic restrictions.
- Equipment/Perks: No explicit coworking or travel stipend mentioned — ask during interviews.
- Best fit for: North America-based nomads who work in US/Canada time zones consistently.
