17. How Shanaaz Manages Her HQ-Based Team From The Other Side Of The World


Listen Later

There is a lot of talk about managing a remote team, but what happens when the manager is remote and the majority of the team are based in the HQ? 

When our super-talented Customer Support Manager, Shanaaz, told us she was moving from London, where our HQ is based, down to Cape Town, we knew we had to do whatever it took to keep her. So, we saw it as a massive opportunity to alter the way we work, open offices in South Africa and see if remote management around the world was possible.

In this episode, we talk to Shanaaz about:

  • Overcoming the challenges of becoming a remote manager in a different timezone
  • Interviewing candidates from South Africa while not having a physical office
  • Overcoming regular power cuts, yet still being available for her HQ-based team
  • Lessons for other managers tasked with setting up a remote office in a different timezone
  • And much, much more...
