Which jobs in Europe are actually remote?

Marketing and Design are the most remote-friendly roles in Europe

Of the 23,027 live postings in Europe in this snapshot, 32.4% are marked open to remote work. That rate varies widely by role group.

Marketing tops the list at 51.7%, with 346 of 669 postings marked remote. Design follows at 47.7%, with 278 of 583. These are the only two groups well above the overall rate.

A middle band sits close to the average. Security is at 37.9%, Customer success at 36.7%, AI / ML at 35.6%, Sales at 34.6% and Product at 32.8%. If your work falls in one of these groups, remote roles are available, but most postings still expect some presence in a location.

At the lower end, Software engineering is at 31%, Data at 27.3% and Finance at 22.1%, the lowest share of the ten groups. In Finance, 158 of 715 postings are marked remote.

A lower remote share can still mean more remote jobs

Share and volume tell different stories. Software engineering has one of the lower remote shares at 31%, but it is by far the largest group in this data, with 9,493 postings. Its 2,945 remote postings are the most of any role group listed.

Sales shows the same pattern. Its share is 34.6%, but 3,952 postings produce 1,366 remote roles. Data, at 27.3%, still has 1,087 remote postings out of 3,975.

The reverse also holds. Marketing has the highest share at 51.7%, yet its 346 remote postings come from a much smaller pool of 669. Design has 278 remote postings and Security has 143.

For a job seeker, this matters. A high share means a better chance that any given posting in your field is remote. A high count means more remote options to choose from in total. An engineer in Europe has a large number of remote roles to search, while a marketer is more likely to find that a role they like is remote.

How to use these numbers when applying now

Start by checking where your target role sits. If you work in Marketing or Design, you can reasonably filter for remote-only roles and still have options. In Finance or Data, a remote-only filter will hide most postings, so consider including hybrid or office roles in cities you could reach.

Read the remote terms in each posting carefully. This data counts a posting as remote when the employer marks it remote, and the market is taken from the posting's location. A role listed in Europe and marked remote may still limit where you can live or work, for example to one country or time zone. Check before you apply so you do not spend time on roles you cannot accept.

In large groups like Software engineering, Sales and Data, the volume of remote postings means you can afford to be selective. Narrow by seniority, stack and company type rather than taking every remote listing.

In smaller groups like Security, with 377 postings in total, it pays to watch for new roles regularly, because there are fewer listings to choose from at any point.

This is a one-day snapshot of postings, not hires

These figures describe job postings that were live in Europe on 2026-11-13. They do not show how many people were hired, how many applied, or whether remote roles are filled differently from office roles. A posting marked remote is an advertised arrangement, not a confirmed outcome.

The data also does not show change over time. Because it is a single snapshot, it cannot tell you whether remote work in any role group is rising or falling.

Role groups and seniority are classified automatically from each posting, so some roles may sit in a different group than you would expect. A product analyst, for instance, could be grouped under Product or Data depending on the wording.

Remote status relies on how the employer labels the posting. Roles described as flexible or hybrid in the text, but not marked remote, are not counted as remote here.

Finally, the postings come from employer career sites and job boards that Jobfinder AI tracks. That is a large sample, but it is not every job advertised in Europe.
