June 2026 PM Jobs Report: A modest dip, strong YoY

After May’s modest rebound, the PM job market cooled slightly in June. The month-over-month move is small, but the underlying mix is more interesting — especially hybrid’s continued strength on a YoY basis and leadership’s ongoing outperformance.

The big takeaways

With 24,754 open listings worldwide, the PM job market was down -0.6% month-over-month in June. The broader story is still positive: the market is up +7.4% year-over-year.

A few highlights:

  • Hybrid: -6.2% MoM, +32% YoY

  • Remote: -5.7% MoM, +2% YoY

  • On-site: -0.4% MoM, +2% YoY

  • Leadership: -3.6% MoM, +15% YoY

  • Senior PM: -1.7% MoM, +9.5% YoY

Regional breakdown

The US remains the largest PM market with 11,132 open roles, down 3.1% month-over-month. Even with the pullback, it is still up 17% year-over-year, so the medium-term trend remains constructive for US-based job seekers.

APAC held steady at 4,153 roles, down just 0.6% in June. The region remains up 7.7% year-over-year, which looks more like a pause than a meaningful deterioration.

The EEA slipped to 4,687 roles, down 2.6% month-over-month, and is now down 7.4% year-over-year — the weakest yearly reading of any major region this month.

LATAM fell to 851 roles, down 4.4% month-over-month. Despite the softer month, it is still up 9.5% year-over-year, so the broader trajectory remains positive.

The Middle East saw the largest drop this month, down 7.7% to 820 roles, and is now down 13% year-over-year — the toughest regional picture in June.

Work environment trends

On-site: The steady base case

On-site roles were nearly flat, down just 0.4% month-over-month, and remain up 2% year-over-year. On-site continues to be the dominant model globally.

Hybrid: Pulls back but leads YoY

Hybrid listings fell 6.2% in June, the sharpest monthly move of the three, but remain the clear standout on a yearly basis at +32% year-over-year.

Remote: Down month, modestly up year

Remote roles dropped 5.7% month-over-month but are still up 2% year-over-year. Remote remains the most volatile category, so supply can shift quickly.

Closing

That’s it for this month’s report.

If there’s a specific cut of the data you want me to analyze next month — region, seniority band, or work mode — tell me what you’re curious about.

Wishing you success on the journey ahead,

James
