Superhuman offers a dynamic hybrid model, and candidates in this role can be based remotely. You may be expected to travel to meet in person during your team’s scheduled collaboration weeks. Managers will determine in-person time according to business needs.
This hybrid approach helps foster trust, innovation, and a strong team culture, with the flexibility of working from home, whenever you need focus time.
Because this role will partner closely with team members based in Berlin, we have a preference for candidates based in the EST time zone. We may also consider candidates in other U.S. time zones who are highly aligned with the role and able to maintain strong collaboration with Berlin-based partners, including taking some calls during Berlin hours.
