jobshare

Two-person single role

A jobshare is an arrangement where two or more people split the responsibilities of one full-time position, each working part-time hours.

The verb means to participate in such an arrangement: She jobshares with another analyst.

Common in fields where flexibility matters—healthcare, education, government—it allows workers to maintain careers while balancing other commitments.
