Weighted toward senior experience
45% of open operations & finance 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 operations & finance roles that specify a work model, 54% are fully remote and 21% are hybrid. (Many listings don't declare one - this is the share among those that do.)

Where the demand is
One field, 32 different jobs
“Operations & Finance” is a bucket, not a job. It rolls up 32 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.

Jun 22This week
+438
operations & finance roles posted in the last seven days, across 494 employers - 10% 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 operations & finance listings, because a week-by-week series that ran further back would measure our board coverage rather than the market. 193 listings carry no posting date and sit out of this chart.

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 2,353 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 4,358 active operations & finance 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 1,501 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
Operations & Finance covers Operations Manager, Program Manager, Finance Manager and 29 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.

Are operations & finance jobs remote?
Of the 1,501 operations & finance listings that declare a work model, 54% are fully remote, 21% hybrid and 26% on-site. Most listings never say, so this is the share among those that do - not of the whole field.

Median disclosed base is $133k, with the middle 50% between $90k and $187k. That is base only, computed from the 1,291 open operations & finance listings that state an annual range - bonus, commission and equity are excluded because listings describe them too inconsistently to compare.
