Data Science Manager Jobs in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a data science manager in Minnesota?

Most data science manager roles in Minnesota require a bachelor's degree at minimum, and many employers at large Minneapolis-Saint Paul firms prefer a master's in data science, statistics, or a related field. There is no state-issued license for this role in Minnesota. The typical path is to build several years of hands-on data science or analytics experience at a Minnesota employer, then move into a team lead or senior individual contributor role before stepping into management.

Which companies hire data science managers in Minnesota?

Companies currently hiring data science managers in Minnesota include Mayo Clinic, Polaris Industries, and Optum, per current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Minnesota's concentration of large healthcare, financial services, and retail headquarters means demand at this management level remains consistent throughout the year.

Which Minnesota cities have the most data science manager jobs?

Minneapolis, Rochester, and Medina have the most data science manager openings in Minnesota. The Twin Cities metro drives the majority of demand through its concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters in financial services and retail, while Rochester's openings are closely tied to Mayo Clinic's extensive health data and research operations.

Are there remote data science manager jobs in Minnesota?

Yes, and more than most fields. About 71% of data science manager openings tied to Minnesota are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how much of the work centers on modeling, code review, and stakeholder presentations that travel well over video. The parts of the role most likely to require on-site presence are cross-functional workshops and managing direct reports through performance cycles.

How can I get hired as a data science manager in Minnesota with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is moving up from a senior data scientist or analytics engineer role at a Minnesota employer rather than applying directly to management. Target, UnitedHealth Group, and large Minnesota financial institutions run rotational analytics programs and associate data scientist tracks that build the portfolio and visibility needed for a first management step. Earning a cloud certification on AWS or Azure and contributing to a documented cross-functional project strengthens a candidacy significantly when formal management experience is thin.

Where can I find and apply to data science manager jobs in Minnesota?

You can find and apply to data science manager jobs in Minnesota on Migrate Mate, which lists current Minnesota openings from employers actively hiring at this level. Search the listings for roles that match your industry background and team size experience, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
