Traveler-Friendly Insight

Remote-First, But Spain-Based: Twilio is a genuine remote-first employer, which is great news — however, this Strategic Account Executive role requires you to be based in Spain. This limits location-independence significantly, though it doesn't mean you must be in a specific Spanish city, giving flexibility within the country.

Travel Requirement: Expect roughly 25% travel — approximately one week per month — primarily to DACH-region clients (Germany, Austria, Switzerland) and EMEA team meetups. This suits nomads who enjoy periodic business travel but prefer a home base in Spain between trips.

Timezone & Schedule: Serving DACH customers means working in CET/CEST timezone, which aligns well with Spain. The role is unlikely to be fully async given the enterprise sales nature — expect regular client calls and team syncs during European business hours.

Visa & Legal Considerations: You must be legally authorized to work in Spain. EU/EEA citizens have immediate eligibility. Non-EU nationals should explore Spain's Digital Nomad Visa, which allows remote workers employed by foreign companies to reside legally in Spain — though working for a Spain-registered entity may require a standard work visa instead.

Cost of Living Context: Spain (especially Madrid or Barcelona) offers a relatively favorable cost of living compared to other Western European hubs, making your competitive Twilio salary stretch further than in, say, London or Zürich.
