The board carries the 120 most recent of 168 open chief of staff roles - the other 48 are in the full member search. The city chips read the employer’s own location line; a listing that names no city we can resolve stays searchable but sits out of them.
Open to remote only? 27 of the 74 chief of staff listings that publish a work model came back remote-first, and 10 more are hybrid. The other 94 say nothing either way - that field is one only some boards publish.

What 58 of these listings actually printed.
Every figure here comes from a live posting with a stated annual base range. Nothing is modelled, inferred, or averaged in from a survey - which is also why the sample is smaller than the board.

Overall, the data suggests a market with steady, incremental hiring activity rather than explosive growth, and one where salary outcomes can vary substantially based on the hiring organization.
