Entry Level Clinical Project Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level clinical project manager job?
Employers hiring at the entry level look for candidates who have coordinated any part of a clinical trial, even in an internship, co-op, or volunteer capacity. A working knowledge of ICH-GCP guidelines, experience with clinical trial management systems, and a science-related degree give you a clear edge. Highlighting specific tasks you owned, such as site tracking or document management, makes a resume stand out at this stage.
Which companies hire entry level clinical project managers?
Companies hiring entry level clinical project managers right now include Medpace, Arkansas Children's, and Parexel, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from contract research organizations, pharmaceutical companies, and medical device firms that run active trial portfolios and need junior coordinators ready to grow into project management.
Are there remote entry level clinical project manager jobs?
Yes, though most entry level roles still prefer on-site or hybrid arrangements because of the hands-on nature of trial coordination. About 17% of entry level clinical project manager openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, so candidates open to on-site roles will find a wider range of opportunities at this stage.
Are these new grad clinical project manager jobs?
Yes, the listings on this page include new grad, recent graduate, and junior clinical project manager roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, accepts internships or academic research in place of full-time work history, or asks for a portfolio of relevant coursework or coordinated projects rather than a proven employment record.
Which industries hire the most entry level clinical project managers?
Entry Level clinical project manager roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Biotechnology & Pharmaceuticals, and Education, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These sectors drive entry level hiring because they run large volumes of clinical trials and regulatory submissions that require dedicated project coordinators, creating a consistent pipeline of junior openings for candidates coming out of life sciences or health-related programs.
