Most people looking for remote work in Europe start by looking at software companies, which makes sense: they were remote first and they are the ones everybody writes about. What that misses is the layer of businesses that exist to serve those companies. Agencies, growth consultancies, content studios, revenue operations. They are frequently remote by construction rather than by policy, they hire across borders because they have to, and the work inside them is overwhelmingly non-technical.

SaaStorm is a small example of exactly that, and it is hiring across the EU and UK right now.

What SaaStorm does

SaaStorm describes itself as “a fully remote organic growth agency for B2B SaaS, headquartered in London with a team spread across Europe”. In practice it sells SEO, content marketing, link building, and what the industry has started calling LLMO and GEO – optimising to be visible inside AI answer tools rather than only in search results.

Its clients are named publicly and are recognisable in the European SaaS world: Reditus, Lingio, Stravito, Voyado, Sylvera, Sapia, Asora, OneUp Sales, and GitGuardian among others. The founder and CEO is Romana Kuts, who built the agency after leading content at Leadfeeder and Dealfront.

The team is in the 11 to 50 range. That matters for what the job is actually like, which we come back to below.

Remote culture: what it’s actually like

The line worth quoting is from their own careers page, and it is the most informative sentence they have written about themselves:

“We run senior-led delivery. That means no handoffs to junior teams after the pitch, and it means everyone here owns real client outcomes from day one.”

Agencies have a well-earned reputation for the opposite: senior people win the work, junior people deliver it, and the client notices about four months in. Committing publicly to the other model tells you something about the shape of the job. You are not going to be handed someone else’s plan to execute.

The rest of what they publish is short and consistent with a small distributed team. “We’re small, remote, and we like it that way.” Flexible working hours. Remote work as standard rather than as a concession. The role listings say the company works “async where possible, trust by default, no micromanagement”. Stated values are communication, curiosity, ownership, and passion.

No office attendance appears anywhere in the listings, and no timezone band is specified beyond the requirement to be in the EU or UK.

Hiring in Europe: the details

Where you can be: the listings are explicit – “Please, only apply if you’re based in the EU/UK.” That is a genuine geographic constraint, and it cuts both ways. It rules you out if you are elsewhere, and it shrinks the applicant pool considerably if you are not.

Employment model: contract, not employment. Both current openings are contract engagements with annual figures attached. If you take one of these in Spain, you are working as an autónom@ and invoicing for it; elsewhere in Europe the equivalent registration applies. That is a materially different proposition from a salaried job, and it is worth understanding the tax and social security position where you live before you apply, ideally with a gestor or accountant. Our guide to companies that hire freelancers in Europe covers the broader pattern.

What they publish:

  • Organic Growth Strategist (B2B SaaS) – €55,000 to €80,000 a year, contract. Own end-to-end organic growth for two to four B2B SaaS clients. Build and run SEO and content roadmaps, plan and run SEO/LLMO/GEO experiments, track performance across traditional search and AI platforms, lead weekly client calls, produce monthly reports.
  • Content Writer (B2B SaaS) – €45,000 to €60,000 a year, contract.

Neither listing states a years-of-experience threshold, and neither asks for previous remote experience.

Who they’re looking for

The strategist role is the more demanding of the two, and reading it carefully tells you what you would need to evidence.

Two to four clients at once means client management, not just execution. Weekly calls and monthly reports mean you are the person in front of the client explaining what happened and what happens next. Owning outcomes end to end means nobody is checking your roadmap before it goes out.

What that adds up to is a job where you must demonstrate impact and the ability to work autonomously – and both of those can be evidenced from work that was never remote. Somebody who ran a marketing function at a mid-size company, or handled their own client book, has the relevant proof even if they have never worked outside an office.

The honest caveat, and it is a real one: a fully remote agency has every reason to prefer someone who can already show they operate well asynchronously. If you have no remote track record, you are competing against people who do, and the EU/UK restriction that helps your odds also helps theirs. The route through is to make the autonomy evidence unmistakable rather than hoping it is inferred.

The LLMO and GEO part of the strategist role is worth flagging separately. It is new enough that very few people have years behind them in it, which flattens the experience curve in a way that rarely happens in an established discipline.

What we could and couldn’t verify

This series exists to give you the things a job advert will not.

Verified independently: SaaStorm holds a Clutch profile with seven verified client reviews averaging 4.9, and a Semrush agency listing at 4.7. The named clients are real companies. Romana Kuts’s professional history is publicly documented and consistent.

Inconsistent across their own sources: the company gives different founding dates and different headquarters depending on where you look. The careers page says London. Their own blog and the Semrush listing both say Utrecht, Netherlands. Founding is variously given as 2022, 2023, and September 2024. None of that is alarming for a young agency that has moved, and marketing pages drift – but if the legal entity matters to your contract, ask directly rather than relying on the website.

Not available: we found no employee reviews, on Glassdoor or anywhere else. That is normal for a company of this size and this age, and it means the culture claims above are the company’s own account of itself rather than anything corroborated by people who have worked there. Ask about it at interview.

How to apply

Both roles are listed on SaaStorm’s own careers page at join.com/companies/saastormio. Apply through that page rather than through any aggregator that has copied the listing.

Two practical notes. Because these are contract roles, the figure quoted is not a salary and will not arrive net – budget for your own tax, social security, and the unbilled time that comes with self-employment. Our piece on turning a salary into a freelance day rate sets out the arithmetic.

And if the wider pattern here is what interests you, the point generalises well beyond this one agency. The businesses built to serve remote-first companies are themselves remote-first, they hire across borders as a matter of course, and a great deal of the work inside them has nothing to do with writing code.
