Who says you need to be in a fixed location to find a great flexible job? More and more, companies are easing back on requiring their employees to live in a specific city or geographic region.

That’s great news for job seekers looking for flexible jobs with no location requirement.

And while it’s true that some remote jobs require a location—for reasons such as regular face-to-face meetings or proximity to clients or projects—that’s not always the case.

There’s a great marketplace of work-from-anywhere jobs that provide tremendous latitude for people looking to work untethered from geographic requirements.

Whether you’re a digital nomad or simply someone seeking to cut your ties to a traditional location-bound job, a diligent search may yield a wealth of employers that don’t care where you’re located, as long as work is getting done at a high level. Below are common remote jobs that don’t require a location.
