If you want a job that will let you travel and work from anywhere in the world, you may be in luck with a new marketing or tech role.
Even as more companies pull back on flexibility, employers in these fields are doubling down on their commitment to a flexible work model, according to new research from FlexJobs exclusively shared with CNBC Make It.
Remote work opportunities have fluctuated since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic but FlexJobs has seen a slight uptick in the companies actively recruiting for work-from-anywhere positions.
To help job-seekers find the best remote, flexible gigs, FlexJobs has identified the most in-demand work-from-anywhere jobs companies are hiring for by analyzing its database for the work-from-anywhere jobs with the highest volume of postings between January and April 2024.
All of the jobs on the list are available remotely, either full-time or part-time, with no location restrictions and no office requirements:

In a work-from-anywhere job, employees are 100% remote, independent of location or time zone.
Such jobs, however, are increasingly competitive to land, only accounting for about 5% of all remote roles, FlexJobs reports. Most remote jobs have location requirements, mainly due to state and federal regulations that dictate where companies can hire people and do business.
Marketing, writing and tech continue to be the top fields with the most work-from-anywhere jobs, but education and bilingual-focused careers are also expanding their remote, flexible offerings, FlexJobs career expert Keith Spencer tells CNBC Make It.
If you’re hoping to land a work-from-anywhere job, Spencer recommends highlighting in-demand soft skills that commonly appear in remote job ads, including project management and adaptability, on your resume and LinkedIn profile.
Spencer says you should also familiarize yourself with different remote communication and collaboration tools including Slack, Trello, Asana, Microsoft Teams and Google Workspace, all of which are staples for most work-from-anywhere jobs.
