The massive shift to remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic has companies hiring roles to lead the transition. Facebook, Quora, Twitter, GitLab, GitHub and others are hiring or have hired such leaders, according to Darren Murphy, head of remote at GitLab, a DevOps platform company based in San Francisco, and also one of people currently holding the position.
“The smartest, most transparent, and most progressive companies transitioning to remote will hire an executive to lead their journey in the next one to two years,” Murphy wrote. “This hire (or the lack thereof) will be a litmus test to job seekers who expect remote work to be supported, not merely allowed.”
