Among the top 10 were many tech-related roles, which has seen a significant increase due to the pandemic accelerating our reliance on various technological advancements. 

However, not all of these positions were driven by the pandemic. The role of diversity and inclusion manager became increasingly in-demand following the murder of George Floyd and Black Lives Matter movement during the summer of 2020. 

Out of LinkedIn’s top 25 positions, 24 offered remote or flexible work arrangements.
