Tech and digital roles dominate the list, reflecting continued demand for specialized skills in software development, AI, data analysis, and product management. Marketing, communications, and sales positions also show strong presence, offering pathways for professionals outside pure technical fields.
"Work-from-anywhere careers can provide the ultimate in location flexibility, but few workers know where to find them," said Toni Frana, Career Expert Manager at FlexJobs. "The trick is to move beyond traditional job hunting and focus on the employers and career fields that consistently hire for these roles."
Frana advises candidates to prioritize quality applications in this competitive space, suggesting proactive steps like direct outreach to hiring managers to demonstrate initiative and stand out.
