Key Insights
Content creators have the most diverse hour split due to the multifaceted nature of their work. Roles like account managers necessitate full-time availability for client interactions. None of our clients are booking SEO specialists, copywriters, or paid media managers for full 8-hour days — these roles can efficiently fulfill their tasks within 2 to 4 hours per day.
The data suggests that companies across industries are receptive to hiring remote, part-time marketers. This reflects a broader trend of preferring experts for fixed weekly hours over hiring entry-level marketers. The demand for remote job roles has surged by 159% in the past decade.
