Entry Level Clinical Data Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level clinical data manager job?
Employers at this level look for familiarity with clinical trial data, EDC systems like Medidata Rave or Oracle InForm, and an understanding of CDISC standards such as CDASH and SDTM. A life sciences degree in biology, health informatics, or a related field helps, but internship experience, capstone projects, or a data management certificate can give candidates without a long work history a real edge.
Which companies hire entry level clinical data managers?
Companies hiring entry level clinical data managers right now include University of Miami, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, and Celerion, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Contract research organizations, pharmaceutical companies, and medical device firms are among the most active employers at this level, often hiring for project-based or rotational roles that are well suited to candidates just starting out.
Are there remote entry level clinical data manager jobs?
Yes, though availability varies by employer and project phase. About 75% of entry level clinical data manager openings are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how much of this work is computer-based and documentation-driven. Some employers still prefer on-site placement for new hires to support closer training and oversight during the early months.
Are these new grad clinical data manager jobs?
Yes, this page includes new grad, recent graduate, and junior clinical data manager roles alongside other entry level postings. A new grad-friendly listing typically welcomes candidates with zero to two years of experience, accepts internships or co-op placements in lieu of full-time history, and does not require prior independent data management of a live clinical trial. Portfolio work or academic projects can satisfy the experience requirement for many of these roles.

Entry Level clinical data manager roles concentrate in Education, Healthcare & Medical Services, and Science & Research, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026.
