BOULDER, Colo., Feb. 18, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The belief that remote jobs are only suited for lower-skilled, entry-level workers remains a common misconception about remote work. In fact, the average remote worker is 46 years old or older, has at least a bachelor's degree, and earns a higher median salary than an in-office worker. To demonstrate that remote jobs are available at the highest career level and to educate people about the professional remote job market, FlexJobs has identified ten leadership jobs for virtual workers.

"Even though remote work continues to grow across industries, many professionals are still unaware that executive-level jobs, those with a very high level of responsibility, can be performed remotely," said Sara Sutton, Founder, and CEO of FlexJobs. "The seniority of job titles on this list hopefully helps challenge the misconception that all work-from-home jobs are scams or only available for very entry-level, specific jobs. Those who have years of experience in their career field and who've worked their way up the ladder can find remote leadership jobs in many industries," Sutton concluded.

“Even though remote work continues to grow across industries, many professionals are still unaware that executive-level jobs, those with a very high level of responsibility, can be performed remotely,” said Sara Sutton, Founder, and CEO of FlexJobs.

Data entry, writing, medical coding, and technical jobs tend to be the typical titles most associated with remote work. However, many industries have adapted and offer remote work arrangements. Healthcare, computer/IT, education, and finance are among the top industries for remote jobs. Remote job offerings in every career area will likely continue to grow with technological advances and more open attitudes towards remote working.

About the Jobs on This List
The remote leadership jobs below all offer some type of remote work arrangement, ranging from partial remote work to 100% remote. Average salary information from PayScale, which may slightly differ depending on location, is also included.

Companies in the U.S. have added the most workers since May 2015, making it an extremely robust market for job seekers of all career levels.
