What new job position rise do you see in upcoming years?
LinkedIn officially shared the job titles that started appearing more often, and with the rise of AI, the market is restructuring.
The actual top 10 roles that have seen the biggest rise in listings (in the U.S.) are:
AI engineers – Engineers developing and implementing AI models that perform complex tasks
AI consultants and strategists - Helping organisations plan and implement AI technologies to improve operations
New home sales specialists – Which sounds like a rebranding or “real estate agent”
Data annotators – Labelling and reviewing data for AI projects
AI/ML researchers – Designing new AI models and systems
Healthcare reimbursement specialists – Ensuring healthcare providers are getting correct and timely payments
Strategic advisors and independent consultants – Which seems like a pretty broad-ranging segment
Advertising sales specialists – You’re reading a marketing blog, I assume you know this one
Founders – Not sure this can be listed as a job title in itself, but LinkedIn’s keen to highlight how people are shifting to their own businesses
Sales executives
Speaking for myself, I have already seen many job positions that were not traditional, e.g. MEME connoisseur, AI content expert or even some guys were offering jobs for an AI agent (software), I think it was from FireCrawl...
Do you have any experience with less traditional job postings lately? Feel free to share.

@hira_siddiqui1 Solofounder as well. Almost everybody can build with the help of AI.
Great list! Aside from the hardcore technical roles, I think we’ll see a massive rise in 'AI Orchestrators'—people who don’t necessarily code the models, but know exactly how to chain different AI agents together to automate entire departments. Also, with the 'MEME connoisseur' example you mentioned, I’m betting on 'Digital Culture Translators.' Brands are terrified of looking 'cringe' or out of touch, so they’ll pay premium for people who can navigate internet subcultures in real-time.

@amalie_kucerova Cringeness depends on different company cultures, market stages, and industry/segment. I am always drawn to such offers, LOL. Also, I think that next can be "reply guy".
I am seeing more hybrid roles show up rather than fully new titles. People who understand a domain and can work with AI tools are getting hired faster than pure specialists. The title matters less than the problem they can solve.
@emilycarterio agreed. People are solving more problems than ever and scaling their own work horizontally across different domains. And I think a mix of roles that require uniquely human attributes will become more valuable too. Things that require human authenticity, good taste. Though there is some AI automation (which replaces the human), there's also augmentation, making individuals more capable overall.

@emilycarterio Despite that, LinkedIn is full of fancy titles (but the compensation is the same). 😭
Frontend Technologies Operations > Good Frontend dev to change role and build tools, frameworks, etc to run efficiently AI Agents to develop Frontend technogies
Product Engineers > Product people but working directly in the Frontend using tools and AI Agents to generate the code
That's the new Product <> Engineering relationship I believe will raise. That's the one as a founder I'm fostering personally, because I already see its benefits

@christophe_henner To be honest, I am not so much in development, but I think that AI mostly hit creators (writers/designers) and programmers.
