Remote TA Consultant (Contract) at Cologix - USA — Columbus
Traveler-Friendly Insight
This is a fully remote contract role (4–5 months), which makes it appealing on the surface for location-independent workers — but there are important caveats to consider.
Timezone constraints: The role involves real-time collaboration with hiring managers, scheduling interviews, and conducting feedback sessions. These activities are inherently synchronous and tied to US business hours (likely Mountain or Eastern time, given Cologix's Denver HQ and US/Canada operations). Nomads in significantly offset time zones — Southeast Asia (UTC+7 to +9) or Australia — would face very challenging schedules.
Language requirement: Bilingual French/English is mandatory, suggesting recruiting scope covers Canadian (Quebec) markets. This is a genuine constraint that limits the applicant pool significantly.
Visa considerations: Since the posting is US-only, most digital nomads would need to be US citizens or authorized to work in the US as independent contractors. The role does not appear to sponsor visas. If you're a US citizen abroad, this is workable — but confirm contractor tax obligations in your country of residence.
- Lisbon (Portugal): UTC+1; overlap with US Eastern time is tough (5–8 hour gap). Afternoon/evening work required.
- México City: UTC-6; close alignment with Mountain Time — a strong option for US-based nomads.
- Medellín: UTC-5; similarly good overlap with US hours.
No travel perks, coworking stipends, or equipment budgets are mentioned. This is a short-term contract, so negotiate those upfront if needed.
