FlexJobs Reveals Top Entry-Level Remote And Hybrid Jobs For 2025
Remote and hybrid jobs are expanding across industries. For new graduates, it's an exciting time filled with a combination of opportunity and uncertainty. While searching for a new job can be overwhelming, there's good news on the horizon. According to FlexJobs' latest analysis of over 145,000 job postings across over 60,000 companies, entry-level remote and hybrid jobs are expanding across multiple industries. A recent survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) also revealed that employers plan to hire 7.3% more recent graduates than they did in 2024. This is promising news for new grads and other job seekers looking for flexible work options. Over 70% of Americans prefer a remote or hybrid work environment, according to a Harris Poll commissioned by the American Staffing Association. 'The question of whether employees should work fully in person, fully remote, or on a hybrid schedule has been a top issue facing organizations across America since the pandemic triggered a workplace revolution,' says Richard Wahlquist, CEO of the American Staffing Association. "As organizations navigate the future of the workplace, the most successful ones will embrace workplace flexibility and focus on creating strong employee-centric cultures." Here's a look at the top 20 career fields for entry-level remote and hybrid Jobs, along with the companies that posted the most entry-level online jobs in early 2025. FlexJobs identified the top 20 career fields that posted the highest volume of entry-level remote and hybrid positions in early 2025: Capitalizing on past momentum, customer service, administrative, and medical and health fields continue to lead the way for entry-level remote work. These categories were closely followed by accounting, finance, and computer and IT, which maintained consistently high volumes of fully remote and hybrid entry-level roles. What's noteworthy is the significant growth in sales and account management job listings, which more than doubled compared to 2024. This surge reflects the fact that companies are recognizing the benefits of remote sales teams, including cost savings, access to a broader talent pool, and increased flexibility for employees. While the software development, HR and legal fields had fewer total job listings, they showed enough growth to rank in the top 20. When examining specific job titles, these ranked highest for entry-level remote and hybrid roles: Reflecting overall category trends, customer service and business development topped the list of in-demand roles. Account executives, sales representatives, insurance agents, and customer support specialists also showed strong demand. Administrative assistants, accountants, and project coordinators demonstrated steady growth to complete the list. FlexJobs also identified employers posting the most entry-level remote and hybrid positions, which include industries like healthcare, finance, government, and data services: According to a Zety survey, 92% of Gen Z trust TikTok for career advice, yet 55% admit to following misleading advice on the platform. FlexJobs' career experts emphasize the importance of trusted guidance over controversial trends. Toni Frana, Career Expert Manager at FlexJobs, shares this advice, 'For new graduates looking for entry-level work, it's important to put together a career plan outlining short and long-term career goals. From there, outlining some action steps such as building your personal brand, networking, and writing your resume to apply to jobs are natural next steps. Remember, a job search takes time and often feels like a job in and of itself, but with the right plan in place, new graduates have ample opportunities in a variety of career fields.' Remote and hybrid work are no longer considered employee perks. They are increasingly non-negotiable, especially among younger professionals entering the workforce. For new graduates, this presents an opportunity to access a broader range of roles while prioritizing work-life balance, reducing commuting costs and building careers aligned with their values and work styles. Also, employers are more open than ever to skills-based hiring rather than focusing on traditional qualifications. By investing in skill development, both young professionals and experienced workers can benefit from meaningful career paths.

5 In-Demand Remote Jobs Paying $100,000+ In 2025
Remote jobs that thrive in 2025 are the ones that are most closely linked to real business impact ... More and results In 2024, the share of remote job listings continued to rise each quarter, experts at Ladders noted. But this year, overall remote job availability has experienced a significant drop. The share of high-paying roles (the ones that pay more than $100,000 a year) is down by 30%, while overall remote job availability is down by 7% according to FlexJobs' recent Remote Work Economy Index. Analysts at Ladders conclude that external factors such as tariffs and layoffs could be the likely cause of the decline, impacting job availability in general, not just for remote roles. However, even as many industries experience a general decline, there were five remote roles pointed out by FlexJobs that appear to be unaffected by the downward trend, and were in the highest demand in Q1 2025. Each of these five remote jobs pay more than $100,000 on average according to Payscale: Senior product managers are the strategic brains behind the design, development, launch and lifecycle of a company's products. These could be technical products or otherwise. In this role, you'd usually collaborate with cross-functional teams in engineering, marketing and customer success to ensure a successful rollout that exceeds user expectations and meets user needs while achieving business goals. Companies are heavily investing in senior product leadership roles to help them as they drive their business strategy forward in developing digital products and SaaS, so this is a great skill set to invest in. Average salary: $133,000 Even though mass tech layoffs are taking headlines, senior software engineers are still needed, especially now as organizations continue to roll out AI and integrate it across their tech, systems, and workflows. As a senior software engineer, you'd be leading a team of engineers, solving complex problems, designing systems, and acting as the strategic head for the development cycle. Average salary: $128,000 BDM roles are all about expanding a business's presence in different markets through strategic outreach. BDMs identify profitable relationships and nurture them into partnerships and clients. As a senior BDM, your role would entail developing the overall business development strategy, managing the sales pipeline, and mentoring/managing other BDMs. Average salary: $114,000 Account executives work in sales just like a BDM, but their focus varies. While BDMs concentrate on entering new markets and building revenue from scratch, AEs usually already have accounts to nurture relationships with and are more focused on maintaining those client accounts and closing deals. Average salary: $109,000 Last but not least, project management professionals continue to be in high demand, as initially predicted by the PMI (Project Management Institute), which noted in a report that 25 million PMs will be needed over the next few years up to 2030. The role may not sound as glamorous as engineering or client acquisition, but without project managers--the glue that holds everything together--businesses would be completely unorganized, lose profits, and fall way behind customer expectations. Skilled project leaders are needed to combine their technical skill set (project management tools like Trello and Asana) with power skills like leadership, stakeholder management, and problem-solving. Average salary: $101,000 While remote job availability is tightening this year, these roles remain resilient. Want to know why? It's because they drive business outcomes and have a direct impact on revenue and innovation. Remote jobs such as PM and BDM roles require strong team management and cross-functional ... More collaboration skills If you're looking for a remote job in 2025, ask yourself, Where can I apply my skills to make the greatest impact to a company? Instead of focusing directly on flexibility, look for ways that you can solve real business problems and upskill where needed. This will lead you into the path of six-figure remote jobs and you'll be in high demand throughout your career.
