What stands out

  • The top ten is tightly packed: Fundraising & development leads on 17%, and #10 Customer Success is at 12%.
  • Fundraising & development reaches #1 on a sample of 1,601 all openings, a smaller market than most of the top ten, so its rank can move more from month to month.
  • Finance is the largest market in the top ten, with 31,810 all openings behind its figure.
  • Job families with fewer than 1,000 all openings are not ranked, and small differences between neighbouring ranks are not meaningful.

Why this ranking matters

What it shows

Many employers settled on hybrid work, some days on site and some remote. The share of hybrid openings shows where that arrangement is most common.

How this ranking works

A job family's score is the share of its open professional roles whose posting says the work is hybrid (some days on site, some remote).

The job family is the one assigned from the posting title and text. Only job families with at least 1,000 all openings are ranked, and only roles verified on the employer's own career site in the last week are counted.

Sample bar: job families with fewer than 1,000 openings are not ranked.

Sources: NextChapter job data: open professional roles on employer career sites, verified in the last week. Data as of November 2026.

Our job data covers professional roles on the career sites of employers we track, so figures describe that market, not every job. Spot an error? Tell us.
