More than Just a Paycheck!
Employee benefits are not just about the kind of services you get, they are also about how much you may have to pay out of pocket. Washington State offers one of the most competitive benefits packages in the nation.
We understand that your life revolves around more than just your career. Like everyone, your first priority is ensuring that you and your family will maintain health and financial security. That's why choice is a key component of our benefits package. We have a selection of health and retirement plans, paid leave, staff training and other compensation benefits that you can mix and match to meet your current and future needs.
Read about our benefits:
The following information describes typical benefits available for full-time employees who are expected to work more than six months. Actual benefits may vary by appointment type or be prorated for other than full-time work (e.g. part-time); view the job posting for benefits details for job types other than full-time.
Note: If the position offers benefits which differ from the following, the job posting should include the specific benefits.
Insurance Benefits
Employees and their families are covered by medical (including vision), dental and basic life insurance. There are multiple medical plans with affordable monthly premiums that offer coverage throughout the state.
Staff are eligible to enroll each year in a medical flexible spending account which enables them to use tax-deferred dollars toward their health care expenses. Employees are also covered by basic life and long-term disability insurance, with the option to purchase additional coverage amounts.
To view premium rates, coverage choice in your area and how to enroll, please visit the Public Employees Benefits Board (PEBB) website. The Washington Wellness program from the Health Care Authority works with PEBB to support our workplace wellness programs.
Dependent care assistance allows the employee to save pre-tax dollars for a child or elder care expenses.
Other insurance coverage for auto, boat, home, and renter insurance is available through payroll deduction.
The Washington State Employee Assistance Program promotes the health and well-being of employees.
Retirement and Deferred Compensation
State Employees are members of the Washington Public Employees' Retirement System (PERS). New employees have the option of two employer contributed retirement programs. For additional information, check out the Department of Retirement Systems' web site.
Employees also have the ability to participate in the Deferred Compensation Program (DCP). This is a supplemental retirement savings program (similar to an IRA) that allows you control over the amount of pre-tax salary dollars you defer as well as the flexibility to choose between multiple investment options.
Social Security
All state employees are covered by the federal Social Security and Medicare systems. The state and the employee pay an equal amount into the system.
Public Service Loan Forgiveness

Holidays
Full-time and part-time employees are entitled to paid holidays and one paid personal holiday per calendar year.
Note: Employees who are members of certain Unions may be entitled to additional personal leave day(s), please refer to position specific Collective Bargaining Agreements for more information.
Full-time employees who work full monthly schedules qualify for holiday compensation if they are employed before the holiday and are in pay status for at least 80 nonovertime hours during the month of the holiday; or for the entire work shift preceding the holiday.
Part-time employees who are in pay status during the month of the holiday qualify for the holiday on a pro-rata basis. Compensation for holidays (including personal holiday) will be proportionate to the number of hours in pay status in the month to that required for full-time employment, excluding all holiday hours. Pay status includes hours worked and time on paid leave.
Sick Leave
Full-time employees earn eight hours of sick leave per month. Overtime eligible employees who are in pay status for less than 80 hours per month, earn a monthly proportionate to the number of hours in pay status, in the month to that required for full-time employment. Overtime exempt employees who are in pay status for less than 80 hours per month do not earn a monthly accrual of sick leave.
Sick leave accruals for part-time employees will be proportionate to the number of hours in pay status, in the month to that required for full-time employment. Pay status includes hours worked, time on paid leave and paid holiday.

Pay status includes hours worked, time on paid leave and paid holiday.

Vacation leave accrual rates may only be accelerated using the rates established WAC 357-31-165.

Tips for Your Remote Business Operations Manager Job Search
Apply early to remote roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists remote business operations manager openings from across the U.S. in one place. Find roles that match your background and apply directly, early in the posting window before competition builds.
Prove async execution in your application
Remote hiring managers want to see you can deliver without in-person oversight. Mention specific tools you've used for async coordination, Notion, Confluence, or ClickUp, and describe a process or project you moved forward independently without daily check-ins.
Show written communication as a core skill
Remote operations roles run on written handoffs, documentation, and Slack threads. Your cover letter and any work samples are the first test. Write clearly, cut filler, and demonstrate you can communicate decisions and context without a meeting.
Research the company's remote operating model
Remote-first companies, hybrid teams, and distributed-only organizations have different expectations for business operations managers. Look at how a company runs its all-hands, documents decisions, and onboards new hires before your interview so your answers connect to how they actually operate.
Remote Business Operations Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get a remote business operations manager job?
Target remote-first companies and distributed-team employers that run core operations without a central office. Remote hiring managers screen for self-direction, strong written communication, and the ability to manage workflows asynchronously across tools like Notion, Slack, and project management platforms. Candidates who can show they've shipped process improvements or cross-functional projects independently stand out from applicants with similar credentials.
Which companies hire remote business operations managers?
Remote business operations manager roles are posted by Whatnot, Connection, and Motive and others right now, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Remote-first SaaS companies, distributed professional services firms, and high-growth tech startups consistently post these roles because they need operational infrastructure built without a physical headquarters.
Can you get a remote business operations manager job with no experience?
Yes, but remote entry-level openings are limited and expect you to operate independently from day one, which makes them harder to land than in-office equivalents. Early-career candidates can strengthen their case by showing process documentation they've created, tools they've used to coordinate distributed work, or operations projects from internships, freelance work, or side ventures. Remote-first startups and early-stage companies are the likeliest entry point.
Do you need a degree for remote business operations manager jobs?
Not always. Many remote employers weigh demonstrable results over credentials, particularly at startups and remote-first tech companies where operational output is easy to measure. Candidates who can show a history of improving processes, managing vendors, or building systems documentation often advance without a four-year degree, especially when paired with proficiency in the collaboration and project management tools remote teams rely on.
Which industries hire the most remote business operations managers?
Remote business operations manager roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Retail, and Education, based on current remote listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors hire business operations managers remotely because their teams are geographically distributed and need someone to build and maintain the processes that keep cross-functional work moving without a shared physical space.
