#JobOpenings : 3 Fully Remote Jobs Just Doubled Hiring And Pay Up To $100,000+. Curious About Which Roles have Doubled in Remote Hiring?  Great Read!

/in /by

How important is fully remote work to you?  Demand for fully remote jobs has surged to such a level that “85% of people describe fully remote work as the most important factor in a job, a 4% increase over 2024,” says FlexJobs in their January Remote Work Index.

If you’re still prioritizing 100% remote work flexibility, you’ll be happy to know that hiring in some fields has actually almost doubled for remote-first roles.

Other fields also multiplied their remote job postings by 30% or more, including:

  • Social media roles
  • Insurance roles
  • Legal roles
  • Account management roles

Meanwhile, jobs in education & training, communications, and HR & recruiting saw moderate but continued rise in remote job adverts, by as much as 19%, compared to previous years.

Curious about which roles have doubled remote in hiring?  FlexJobs just published a report that identified the 15 fastest-growing remote job categories from its extensive database of thousands of roles from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025.

The top three types of fully remote jobs hiring the most within that period, which is an indication of where demand is trending for 2026, are:

  • Engineering jobs
  • Administrative jobs
  • Sales jobs

1. Fully Remote Engineering Jobs

This is probably not surprising, given a number of factors that has likely contributed to the surge in fully remote engineering work such as:

  • The AI boom, leading to VC-backed start-ups quickly springing up and demand for top global talent to engineer their products (many start-ups hire remotely so they can quickly get off the ground and also so that they can attract the best experts as employees)
  • The very nature of the role is 100% computer-based and collaboration can easily be maintained virtually through async communication and project trackers, Jira, etc.
  • Engineering roles are up by 15% for the next eight years, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects

2. Fully Remote Admin Jobs

Contrary to expectations, administrative roles are not only remaining largely unaffected by AI (in terms of hiring numbers), but hiring demand has actually increased.

Though, of course, the nature of admin roles has evolved into AI-enabled work, “employers posted 1,354,400 administrative and customer support jobs in 2025, highlighting strong demand for organized, detail-oriented professionals who can maintain efficient daily operations and support customers,” talent solutions firm Robert Half notes in their 2026 report on the state of hiring in the admin and customer service job market.

“Administrative roles drove much of the hiring activity,” the report continued.

Quick hiring facts according to Robert Half:

  • Employers posted more than 772,600 administrative jobs in 2025, up 9% from 2024.
  • Two positions contributed significantly to that total: project managers (183,600 jobs) and front desk coordinators (102,700 jobs).

 

“Demand for project managers suggests many organizations are coordinating more cross-functional initiatives with tighter timelines and complex communication demands. Front desk coordinators remain essential for managing a steady flow of visitors, calls and scheduling needs as well as day-to-day office or facility support.”

3. Fully Remote Sales Jobs

The most popular sales-related jobs that tend to be remote are usually:

  • Account manager/account executive
  • Business development manager
  • Customer success manager (you’ll likely find tons of these on remote job boards, especially Y Combinator and FlexJobs)

This is again fueled by the rise of SaaS start-ups requiring professionals with exceptional relationship-building, expectation management, and communication and stakeholder liaison skills, to ensure the products developed by these start-ups launch successfully in their markets.

Examples Of Remote Sales Jobs Hiring Right Now

  • Banner, a SaaS start-up, is hiring a Customer Success Manager to work remotely and is offering a salary of up to $110,000
  • Accelr8 Labs is hiring a remote business development manager via Built In

There are plenty more but these are just the tip of the iceberg, an example of the types of fully remote (and hybrid remote) opportunities that are hiring right now.
