Manager Data Platform at ZoomInfo - Remote Global

Remote-First but US-Salary Anchored: Zoom Info lists this role as fully remote with headquarters listed as "Remote," which is a positive signal for location flexibility. However, the salary range ($140,000–$220,000 USD) is explicitly US-based, and compensation is adjusted by work location — meaning candidates in lower cost-of-living regions may be offered less. Nomads based outside the US should clarify contractor vs.

employee status and whether international locations are supported.

Timezone Considerations: The job description does not specify required timezone overlap, but given the heavy cross-functional collaboration (engineering, data science, product, security), expect synchronous meetings skewed toward US business hours (ET/PT). Pure async work is unlikely at a management level requiring people leadership and stakeholder communication.

Cost of Living Comparison (at $160k midpoint):

• Lisbon, Portugal: Monthly expenses ~$2,500–$3,500 for a comfortable lifestyle. $160k USD offers exceptional purchasing power, especially if taxed at US rates remotely.
• Bangkok, Thailand: Monthly costs ~$1,500–$2,500. Salary stretches very far;
  Thailand's LTR visa suits senior tech workers with income above $80k.
• Medellín, Colombia: Monthly costs ~$1,800–$2,800. Colombia's digital nomad visa (up to 2 years) is accessible; strong expat infrastructure.

Travel Perks: No explicit coworking stipend or travel budget mentioned, but Zoom Info's comprehensive benefits package may include equipment and home-office support — confirm with the recruiter.
