Where the demand is

One field, 36 different jobs

“Operations & Finance” is a bucket, not a job. It rolls up 36 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.

Freshness

What’s open, by the week it posted

How old the live operations & finance pipeline is - the window where applying early still puts you in front of a human instead of a stack.

Aug 3This week
+721

operations & finance roles posted in the last seven days, across 794 employers - 13% 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. 93 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 3,097 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 5,546 active operations & finance listings we track across 19 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 2,574 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, Strategy & Operations Manager and 33 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 operations & finance jobs are open right now?

5,546 as of October 2026, across 794 companies, with 721 posted in the last seven days. The count is recomputed every hour and roles that close drop out the same day.

Are operations & finance jobs remote?

Of the 2,574 operations & finance listings that declare a work model, 30% are fully remote, 35% hybrid and 35% on-site. Most listings never say, so this is the share among those that do - not of the whole field.

What does a operations & finance job pay?

Median disclosed base is $138k, with the middle 50% between $94k and $187k. That is base only, computed from the 1,592 open operations & finance listings that state an annual range - bonus, commission and equity are excluded because listings describe them too inconsistently to compare.

42% of open operations & finance roles read as mid-level, and 13% are entry-level (intern or junior). The level is read off each posting when we ingest it, so every open role is counted here.
