Marketing — flexible & part-time roles

Why marketing works well for parents and caregivers. Roles in this category typically have well-defined deliverables, asynchronous communication patterns, and outcomes-based performance reviews — three things that make a flexible schedule actually flexible. You're judged on what you ship, not when you're online, which means you can take a Wednesday afternoon off for a parent-teacher meeting and make up the work at 9 PM without anyone batting an eye.

Salaries in marketing for fully remote roles tend to track major-metro pay even when you live in a lower cost-of-living area, especially for senior individual contributors. Part-time conversions are increasingly common: many of the companies on this list will negotiate a 3- or 4-day workweek for the right candidate, particularly when you've demonstrated strong async habits in the first 90 days.
