3 Fully Remote Jobs Hiring Now — Growing Up to 35% and Paying $100K+ in 2026
Remote work is far from dead. While layoff headlines and soft jobs reports make the market feel tight, opportunity is still moving — if you look in the right places.
Remote job postings rose 22% in Q2 2026, according to FlexJobs’ Remote Economy Index. Even stronger: three specific categories of fully remote roles jumped as much as 35% in the first half of 2026 compared with the previous six months.
These roles share one clear theme: companies are hiring for jobs that directly drive revenue, build pipeline, and keep clients. If you’ve been laid off, fear restructuring, or need to work from home for caregiving or other reasons, these are the areas to target.
The top growers
FlexJobs data shows remote openings in **sales, business development, and account management** led the pack with growth exceeding 35%. Operations (31%) and communications (30%) rounded out the top 10 but didn’t crack the top three.
1. Remote Sales Jobs
Forget the old image of a sales rep cold-calling all day. Modern remote sales roles include:
- Enterprise sales director
- Account executive
- Partnerships lead / manager
Account executives average about **$100,183** a year.
You may already have transferable experience. Recruiters, contract managers, and anyone who persuades people or closes deals are essentially doing sales. Highlight measurable results such as clients won, revenue generated, or contracts signed.
2. Remote Business Development Jobs
Business development casts a wider net than pure sales. These roles focus on proactively finding growth opportunities. Common titles:
- Business development representative (BDR)
- Head of new business
- Growth manager
Marketing campaign experience transfers well here. Show concrete proof that you identified opportunities, drove go-to-market strategies, or opened new revenue streams.
3. Remote Account Management Jobs
Prefer nurturing relationships over chasing new leads? Account management (also called customer success or client success) is a strong fit. These professionals guide customers from initial sale through the full lifecycle, driving renewals and upsells.
Look for titles such as:
- Client/customer success manager
- Key, enterprise, national, or senior account manager
- Technical account manager
Pay varies by seniority and industry. A technical account manager averages **$100,000**, while a national account manager sits closer to **$77,000**.
How to position yourself
Employers are prioritizing revenue impact right now. Reframe your past experience around:
- Taking initiative
- Identifying opportunities
- Nurturing and retaining relationships
- Driving upsells or renewals
Use numbers wherever possible. Also expand your search — the same role often appears under different titles.
The remote market isn’t closed. It’s concentrating around roles that grow the top line. Aim there.
