There are 1,377 open data & analytics roles across 369 companies on LandEarly right now, with 190 posted in the past week. Senior-level roles make up 45% of the openings, and 44% of roles that specify a work model are fully remote.
Weighted toward senior experience
45% of open data & analytics roles read as senior-level. Entry-level (intern + junior) roles are 12% - a signal of how open this field is to early-career candidates.
A remote-friendly field
Of data & analytics roles that specify a work model, 44% are fully remote and 37% are hybrid. (Many listings don't declare one - this is the share among those that do.)

Where the demand is
One field, 11 different jobs
“Data & Analytics” is a bucket, not a job. It rolls up 11 titles that share a craft but not a day - different scope, different level, different pay band. Which title you're chasing is the first cut worth making.

What’s open, by the week it posted
How old the live data & analytics pipeline is - the window where applying early still puts you in front of a human instead of a stack.
Aug 3This week
+190
data & analytics roles posted in the last seven days, across 369 employers - 14% of everything open in the field.
Each bar is the open roles posted that week, not a count of everything posted then: roles that have since closed are gone from it, so older weeks read lighter by design. The window starts when we began ingesting data & analytics listings, because a week-by-week series that ran further back would measure our board coverage rather than the market. 18 listings carry no posting date and sit out of this chart.
Pay, where disclosed
Base salary, from listings that state one
Base only. Bonus, commission and equity are real money but listings describe them too inconsistently to compare, so they stay out of the maths rather than inflate it.

Employers write locations as free text, so every spelling of a city is resolved to one market before it’s counted. A listing naming several markets counts in each, so these don’t sum to the field. The 897 that name no city - remote, “Hybrid”, a campus or a building - sit out entirely rather than get attributed to one.
Methodology
How we compute this
Short version: we count listings, we don't model them. Where the data is thin, the page says so instead of guessing.
Counted, not estimated
Every figure comes from the 1,377 active data & analytics listings we track across 16 applicant-tracking systems, ingested hourly from public job boards. A role that closes this morning drops out this afternoon.
Shares state their own denominator
Work-model percentages cover only the 660 listings that declare one. Experience level is read off every posting at ingest, so those shares cover the whole field. We’d rather show the smaller base than fill the gap.
A field rolls up related titles
Data & Analytics covers Data Scientist, Data Analyst, Business Analyst and 8 more titles. A posting joins a title when its own text describes that job - the roll-up is on the classified role, never on a keyword in the headline.
FAQ
Common questions
How many data & analytics jobs are open right now?
1,377 as of October 2026, across 369 companies, with 190 posted in the last seven days. The count is recomputed every hour and roles that close drop out the same day.
Which data & analytics roles are most in demand?
Data Scientist (395 open), Data Analyst (304 open), and Business Analyst (299 open) - out of 11 data & analytics titles carrying at least one open role today.
Are data & analytics jobs remote?
Of the 660 data & analytics listings that declare a work model, 44% are fully remote, 37% hybrid and 20% on-site. Most listings never say, so this is the share among those that do - not of the whole field.
What does a data & analytics job pay?
Median disclosed base is $152k, with the middle 50% between $100k and $207k. That is base only, computed from the 341 open data & analytics listings that state an annual range - bonus, commission and equity are excluded because listings describe them too inconsistently to compare.
What experience level are data & analytics jobs?
45% of open data & analytics roles read as senior-level, and 12% are entry-level (intern or junior). The level is read off each posting when we ingest it, so every open role is counted here.
