Remote SaaS Account Executive at Smartsheet - US — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
This role is listed as fully remote within the United States, which means it is restricted to US-registered locations. While the location hint says "Anywhere in the World," the job description explicitly states teleworking options are from "any registered location in the U.S." — digital nomads based outside the US would not qualify without maintaining a US address and legal work authorization.
Timezone considerations: The role covers the Central/East territory, strongly implying the expectation of working US Central and Eastern business hours (roughly UTC-6 to UTC-5). This limits flexibility for nomads in Europe or Asia, though overlap with early mornings in Western Europe (e.g., Lisbon at UTC+1) is technically possible for disciplined early risers.
Salary vs. nomad cost of living: The $75,000–$95,000 base (plus incentive/commission) is compelling against nomad hubs — in Medellín, Colombia, a comfortable lifestyle runs ~$1,500/month; in Lisbon, ~$2,500/month; in Bangkok, ~$1,200/month. Even at the base, this salary goes very far in these cities — if you can legally work from them while maintaining US employment.
- The monthly productivity stipend could cover coworking costs in most nomad cities.
- No explicit coworking or travel allowance is mentioned beyond the stipend.
Bottom line: best suited to US-based remote workers; international nomads should confirm tax/legal eligibility before applying.
