Advertised compensation

Each row compares roles with the same currency, pay period and employment type and pay basis. Salary and on-target earnings (OTE) are kept separate. The figures are the median advertised lower and upper limits, calculated separately; they are not an expected salary for an individual candidate. Seniority and hiring locations vary.

22 of 54 listings disclose pay. 14 have one complete salary or OTE range with a known currency and period. Only groups meeting the sample requirements appear below.

There are not yet enough comparable disclosed pay ranges to publish a reliable sample here. Individual listings still show the compensation each employer provides.

A row needs at least ten roles from three employers. One listing contributes one observation. Separate geographic tiers, open-ended ranges, total compensation and net pay are excluded. A stated salary can be included when bonuses or equity are offered separately; OTE is shown in its own row. Currencies are not converted and hourly or monthly pay is not annualized.

Employer coverage

45 employers are represented in the current directory. Flying Bisons accounts for 3 listings (5.6%). The five largest employers account for 20.4%. Changes in which employers we monitor can change these totals. Directory growth alone does not establish growth in the wider job market.

Where employers can hire

Countries explicitly named in the current listings, including roles restricted to a state or province. A role can appear in several countries. Check each listing for state, work authorization and timezone restrictions.

2 roles state worldwide hiring without a specific country list. 13 give a broader region or do not name a supported country. These are kept separate from the country counts.

Product Designer, Partnerships and Brand Experience

Verified

Thumbtack

We're looking for a Product Designer with excellent prototyping, motion, and brand/visual design skills to join our Partnerships team and to support how Thumbtack's brand system shows up across the product. This role sits at the intersection of go-to-market design and in-product brand experience: you'll pair product design sensibility with storytelling, prototyping, and polish to accelerate partnerships and go-to-market efforts, while also helping translate brand system updates — iconography, motion language, moments of delight — into consistent, high-craft product experiences beyond Partnerships alone. You'll work closely with Business Development, Sales, Go-to-Market Operations, Product, and Brand teams.

What this measures

This is a cross-section of live, fully remote roles checked for this directory. It is useful for seeing the composition of the board today; it is not an estimate of every opening in the wider labor market.

How the figures are maintained

Counts update with the underlying listings. Closed roles leave the live totals, and missing compensation or hiring terms are never inferred. Read the full reporting methodology.
