Education Program Manager Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a education program manager in New York?
Most education program managers in New York enter the role with a bachelor's degree in education, instructional design, or public administration, though many employers in higher education and workforce development prefer a master's degree. There is no single state-issued license for this role, but candidates working in K-12 settings often hold a New York State teaching certificate issued through the New York State Education Department. From there, the typical path moves through program coordinator or specialist roles at a school system, community college, or nonprofit before advancing to management.
How much do education program managers make in New York?
Education program managers in New York earn a median of about $171,400 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $103,590 for the lowest 10% to over $280,850 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire education program managers in New York?
Employers hiring education program managers in New York right now include United Health Services, Brightway Living & Learning, and Madison Square Boys, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. New York's density of large nonprofit organizations, public university campuses, and workforce development agencies makes it one of the most varied hiring environments for this role in the country.
Which New York cities have the most education program manager jobs?
New York, Binghamton, and Brooklyn have the most education program manager openings in New York. New York City dominates the distribution because it is home to the country's largest public school system and a dense concentration of workforce development nonprofits and corporate learning teams, while Buffalo and Albany draw steady demand from SUNY campuses, regional nonprofits, and state agency training programs.
Are there remote education program manager jobs in New York?
Yes, though they represent a smaller share of openings than in purely desk-based fields, since many education program managers oversee in-person training, school site visits, or community workshops that require a physical presence. About 43% of education program manager openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of November 2026. The parts of the role most commonly performed remotely are curriculum development, grant reporting, and vendor coordination.
How can I get hired as a education program manager in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through a program coordinator or education specialist role at a New York City Department of Education initiative, a SUNY campus continuing education office, or a workforce development nonprofit such as those funded through the New York State Department of Labor. Many of these organizations run AmeriCorps placements, graduate assistantships, or associate program roles that do not require prior management experience. Candidates who hold a New York State teaching certificate or a relevant master's degree, or who have volunteer experience designing training materials, consistently move to the front of applicant pools.
Where can I find and apply to education program manager jobs in New York?
You can find and apply to education program manager jobs in New York on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from employers hiring in the state right now. Search the listings, find roles that match your background and location preferences, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
