Do you agree that remote work is the future? If so you’ll want to keep reading.
I’ve had the opportunity to work remote for 5+ years as an employee & as a business owner and I admire the type of culture remote teams build. Remote teams are able to attract top talent & retain their employees longer. But culture isn’t their only competitive advantage.
Remote companies have lower overhead costs too. Think about it… do you need a big logo on a building to create the best product and deliver the best customer experience? I’d say no. With product-led growth becoming the norm in SaaS, remote companies have lower costs and no need for flashy offices. Thus remote teams are able to pass on those cost savings to their customers making their products more valuable.
Since 2005 remote work has grown 159% @briewreynolds. I’d argue the office might even become extinct.
So without further ado, I’ve handpicked the top fifteen remote Sales & Customer Success jobs in SaaS for 2019. Selfishly I’ve included 2 roles at Mailshake.

I also recently interviewed & published an article about A Day in the Life of 8 SaaS Customer Success Managers.

13. Migration Adviser at Empire Flippers
A Migration Advisor takes a hands-on role, transferring businesses from sellers to buyers in a safe and efficient manner. This can be a stressful time for both parties as they near completion of a potentially life-changing deal. It will be your mission to oversee the asset transfer, keep things moving forward and ensure that everyone is in the loop regarding the migration status.
Since this role will have you speaking to buyers and sellers around the world, it can be a bit stressful here and there. You will need to work weird hours sometimes to make sure you can get on the phone with sellers in different time zones. You will also need to be extremely detail-oriented to make sure that processes are followed to a tee.
Not all buyers and sellers are familiar with the technical aspects of migrating a business; you will need to guide them through the process in a clear and logical manner, ensuring all parties know what’s going on. Of course, as in any role, sometimes things may not go quite to plan. It’s at this point that your role becomes most critical; you’ll need to calmly troubleshoot issues and make buyers and sellers feel that things are kosher.
You will drive all of our migrations through a multi-step migration process. We are constantly refining this process to make the transfer as seamless as possible and ensure that we are in-line with any updates to program terms and conditions. As you become more seasoned, you will be tasked with improving this migration process.
Empire Flippers will train you on how to use the various tools we use to migrate businesses. You’ll also be digging into the backend of websites and learning about the various technical aspects of moving a site. While you don’t have to be a “techie,” having the capacity to learn the technical nuances of the process is a must. You’ll also be exposed to contracts and purchase agreements for multi-million dollar deals. It will be your job to ensure that the migration is conducted in line with the contract.
Finally, on the rare occasion that some form of renegotiation is required during the migration, you’ll run point on that, helping buyers and sellers to reach a point that works for all parties.
