Hot new job title in a pandemic: ‘Head of remote work’

On any given day, Darren Murph can wear many hats at work. He might play relocation expert, helping co-workers leaving a big city like San Francisco think through which cheaper locales have good access to broadband. He can be an executive coach, assisting senior leaders in structuring new projects in remote-friendly ways. He may serve as tech adviser (evaluating new messaging tools like Yac or Loom), communications pro (distilling work-from-home policies into remote work handbooks) or event planner (scoping out virtual team-building activities such as a group online cooking site).
