Despite some companies pushing for a return to the office, remote work opportunities, particularly in project management, technology, and communications, are still available. FlexJobs research indicates a 20% increase in remote job postings in 2024 compared to 2023, rebounding to 2022 levels. However, other data, like LinkedIn's reporting a decline to 8% remote jobs in December 2024 (down from 18% in early 2022), suggests a more nuanced picture. Truly "work-from-anywhere" jobs, offering complete location and time zone flexibility, remain rare, representing only about 5% of all remote roles.
FlexJobs identified companies with the highest volume of these flexible remote postings between January and December 2024. These companies offer fully remote positions with no location restrictions or office requirements.
Here are 10 of those companies:
- Veeva
- Invisible Technologies
- Canonical
- Social Discovery Group
- Wikimedia Foundation
- Remote
- Chainlink Labs
- Nethermind
- Gamurs Group
- CloudLinux
Toni Frana of FlexJobs notes that trends like digital nomadism are fueling demand for these roles, making the market competitive. She recommends applying to multiple companies, networking, and seeking referrals.
High-demand roles include product managers and software engineers, often with salaries exceeding $100,000 in the U.S. These positions typically require a bachelor's degree and technical skills like programming languages and project management software. Other available remote roles include sales development representatives, marketing, and editorial positions. Approximately 70% of remote job listings on FlexJobs are for intermediate or experienced-level candidates.
