Dreaming of a remote job or a work-from-home job that allows you to travel the world? You're not alone—many people are searching for the best remote companies to work for that offer this kind of flexibility. A recent Harris Poll report shows that 40% of Americans have considered moving abroad in the next two years, with 14% seriously considering it. And a FlexJobs Work-From-Anywhere Survey found that 75% of professionals would take advantage of a work-from-anywhere policy if their employer offered one.
In response to the growing demand, FlexJobs has released its new 2025 Digital Nomad Guide, which outlines the 10 top companies, 10 best career categories and 10 most in-demand job titles for work-from-anywhere jobs.
Unlike FlexJobs' annual list of remote-friendly companies (which I cover every January), this new report focuses specifically on data from the first half of 2025 and zeroes in on the most in-demand jobs for digital nomads.
FlexJobs defines a 'digital nomad' as someone who can work remotely from various locations around the world and is free of ties to a specific city, state or country—which means you could be logging on from a seaside café in Lisbon, globetrotting around Asia with your laptop in tow or just working from your kitchen table.
'This new list highlights the top companies and career categories for work-from-anywhere jobs since the start of 2025, offering a more up-to-date snapshot of today's work-from-anywhere landscape as we head into the second half of the year,' Keith Spencer, career expert at FlexJobs told me in an interview. 'It also breaks down the 10 most in-demand, work-from-anywhere job titles, which is an especially useful reference for anyone pursuing a digital nomad lifestyle, since high-demand roles tend to offer more opportunities.'
FlexJobs has published this list in the past, but this year marks a notable shift. 'Only one company returned from last year, three new career categories were added and eight of the top 10 in-demand job titles were new,' says Spencer. 'These shifts reflect how the remote job market is being shaped by shifting economic conditions, policy uncertainties and evolving worker preferences.'
According to Spencer, there's a growing demand for a life that can be lived anywhere. 'Interest in digital nomad jobs continues to grow as working professionals increasingly prioritize flexibility and freedom,' says Spencer. 'Work-from-anywhere roles offer the highest level of location independence, making them especially appealing to those looking to travel or relocate.'
Another perk: 'A digital nomad lifestyle enables professionals to explore new places without being tied to a single location, and thanks to advancements in remote technology, staying connected and productive from anywhere is more feasible than ever,' says Spencer.
In this year's report, Wikimedia Foundation was named the top remote-friendly company. 'The Wikimedia Foundation earned the top spot this year due to its strong offering of work-from-anywhere positions across a variety of roles,' says Spencer. 'While they didn't appear on last year's list, their current job postings reflect a clear commitment to location-independent work. As a nonprofit that supports global knowledge projects, their remote-friendly approach aligns with both their mission and their distributed workforce.'
Coming in second on the list of top companies is Xapo Bank—a financial company that provides services related to Bitcoin—followed by Omniscient Digital, a company on a mission to help e-commerce and software businesses transform content marketing into a growth channel.
In the new 2025 Digital Nomad Guide, FlexJobs also ranks the 10 most in-demand job titles for digital nomads this year. According to FlexJobs, the top job title for work-from-anywhere roles is customer success manager, a role that involves liaising with clients, ensuring satisfaction with technology solutions and helping monitor technology adoption. This is followed by executive assistant and data scientist.
The 2025 Digital Nomad Guide also ranks the top 10 industries for digital nomads, with (no surprise) computer & IT coming out on top. Project management and marketing round out the top three.
Of course, landing one of these dream roles isn't just about packing a laptop and booking a flight. 'The allure of working from anywhere in the world is powerful, but this kind of career shift needs very careful consideration and planning,' says Spencer. 'It's not just about landing a fully remote career, but also making sure you're aligned with and prepared to take on the challenges that often come with living a digital nomad lifestyle.'
Read on for FlexJobs' top 10 lists of work-from-anywhere jobs, the most in-demand job title for digital nomads this year and the best careers for digital nomads.
From Florence to wherever you are: FlexJobs' 2025 Digital Nomad Guide explores remote jobs that let you live and work from anywhere.

How Robotic Hives and AI Are Lowering the Risk of Bee Colony Collapse
Green Cleaner Tech After 150 years without minimal innovation, the beehive is getting an upgrade that is making it easier to protect colonies and the crops that rely on them. By Lifting up the hood of a Beewise hive feels more like you're getting ready to examine the engine of a car than visit with a few thousand pollinators. The unit — dubbed a BeeHome — is an industrial upgrade from the standard wooden beehives, all clad in white metal and solar panels. Inside sits a high-tech scanner and robotic arm powered by artificial intelligence. Roughly 300,000 of these units are in use across the US, scattered across fields of almond, canola, pistachios and other crops that require pollination to grow.

Mayor of nation's 'best-run' city credits focus on responsible budgeting, public safety
The mayor of Provo, Utah, told Fox News Digital that Provo was ranked as the best-run city in a new survey because local government officials adhered to the fundamentals. "We've always believed in getting the basics right first and that's quality schools, safe neighborhoods, well-maintained roads and responsible budgeting," Provo Mayor Michelle Kaufusi told Fox News Digital after financial services company WalletHub touted her city this week. Kaufusi cited her work on public safety, noting it was a "top concern" for residents. "We're proud to boast that we have the fourth-lowest violent crime rate in the whole nation and the seventh-lowest property crime rate. And two years ago, we were voted the safest large city in the nation," Kaufusi said. "So all of those factors come into play. It seems to put the spotlight on us and that's what brings people to Provo. And we love it and [it] brings business and we're open for business. So we are really honored and really humbled that we got to be called out for this [honor] today." WalletHub attributed economic growth, low crime, low unemployment and clean roads to Provo's high ranking. The financial service added that Provo, which has more than 110,000 residents, also boasted the 22nd-best road quality in the country. WalletHub reported it measured the "effectiveness of local leadership" by "determining a city's operating efficiency." Each city was given a "Quality of Services" score based on 36 metrics that were grouped into six service categories, including financial stability, education, health, safety, economy, and infrastructure and pollution. These were measured against the city's per capita budget. The cities that ranked low on WalletHub's list had high crime rates, including San Francisco, which came in as the worst-run on the list of 148 cities. WalletHub writer and analyst Chip Lupo told Fox News Digital that "Provo is a great example of what can happen when city leaders listen to their residents." "The mayor mentioned that public safety is a top priority, and the results speak for themselves. Provo has some of the lowest violent and property crime rates in the country, and that was a key factor in Provo's ranking as the best-run city in our study," Lupo said. "Public safety is essentially the foundation for everything else in any city. When people feel safe, they're more likely to engage in their community, support local businesses, and take advantage of public services. Provo shows that you can prioritize safety and still manage your budget well. It's a great model for other cities looking to improve how they serve their residents."
