Whether it’s a city on the rise or a remote spot completely overlooked, the Global Scout leaves no rock unturned when seeking out Remote Year’s next hit locations and venues.</p>\n<p>Working to a brief, the discerning scout will be evaluating everything from travel accessibility, short-term accommodation market, co-work spaces, and the variety of experiences possible to deliver an unforgettable stay for remote working professionals.</p>\n<p>Once you have completed the research and aligned key stakeholders, you will own contract negotiations, and the collection of necessary content and collateral needed to create marketing and product materials. </p>\n<p>You understand cultural significance and sensitivity. You’re already well on your way to being considered a ‘global citizen’. You’re the person people turn to when planning unique vacations. You care that everyone experiences  a good time, all the time, and know what it takes to make that happen. You look well beyond the obvious. You know it’s about the details and how to spot them. You have conviction.  You’re guided by the impact we make on the local communities and environment and how they’ll impact our customers.</p>\n<p>You get as much of a kick out of extensive digital research, picking up the phone and building connections, as much as you do being on the endless road.
