Question 1

How many data jobs offer a 4-day work week?

Accepted Answer

We currently list 297 open data roles at companies committed to a 4-day work week or an equivalent reduced schedule with full pay. Roles span entry-level through to senior and staff positions. New roles are added daily as employers open positions — the count above reflects live listings only, with expired or filled roles removed within a day. Use the filter panel to narrow by seniority, location, or specific schedule type.

Question 2

Which companies hire data on a 4-day work week?

Accepted Answer

Employers hiring for data roles on this page include Spotify, Airbnb, and Cabify. The mix skews toward companies that have publicly published their schedule policy — often software, consulting, and progressive product organisations. Every company on 4dayweek.io goes through a review process before their roles are listed, so the schedule policy on the listing matches what's offered at the job offer stage.

Question 3

What salary should I expect for data roles on a 4-day week?

Accepted Answer

Companies listed here commit to full salary parity — data pay on a reduced-hours schedule should match what you'd earn at a traditional 5-day employer of comparable size. Specific ranges vary by seniority (entry, mid, senior, lead, staff) and location. Expand any listing above to see the exact salary band; many employers publish these openly. If you see a role missing a salary range, that's usually because the employer shares it on application rather than publicly.

Question 4

Can I negotiate a 4-day week in my current data role?

Accepted Answer

Yes — many data professionals negotiate reduced hours successfully. The strongest positioning is to propose a time-bounded trial (3–6 months), point to the UK 4-day-week pilot results (92% of companies continued post-trial), and commit to delivering the same output measured against specific outcomes. Frame it as a productivity experiment rather than a perk request. If your employer declines, the companies listed on this page already operate this way — applying sideways is often faster than a long negotiation.

Question 5

Are remote data jobs common on a 4-day week, or mostly hybrid?

Accepted Answer

The split varies by role but tech-heavy data functions (engineering, data, design) tend to be remote-first, while sales and customer-facing roles lean hybrid. Filter the list above by 'Remote' in the sidebar to narrow to fully-remote listings only. Note that 'remote-friendly' on 4dayweek.io means the employer has publicly committed to hiring remote — not just that they allow occasional work-from-home days.
