Entry Level Government Relations Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an entry level government relations manager job?

Start by building direct exposure to the policy process: internships with advocacy organizations, government agencies, legislative offices, or trade associations carry real weight at this stage. Demonstrated skills in stakeholder communication, public affairs writing, and regulatory research give candidates an edge. Coursework in political science, public policy, or communications is a strong foundation, and any campus or volunteer government relations experience is worth highlighting prominently on your resume.

Which companies hire entry level government relations managers?

Companies hiring entry level government relations managers right now include Grainger, Esri, and Viasat, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a wide range of employers, including corporations with regulatory affairs teams, nonprofit advocacy groups, trade associations, and consulting firms that work on public policy accounts.

Are there remote entry level government relations manager jobs?

Yes, though most government relations roles at the entry level are on-site or hybrid given the relationship-driven nature of the work. About 33% of entry level government relations manager openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, so options do exist for candidates who need flexibility while still building their professional network in this field.

Are these new grad government relations manager jobs?

Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior government relations manager roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or volunteer policy work toward the requirement, or lists a degree as a substitute for prior professional experience. If a posting asks for a portfolio of advocacy or communications work rather than years on a resume, that is also a strong new grad signal.

Which industries hire the most entry level government relations managers?

Entry Level government relations manager roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Telecommunications, and Energy, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors tend to drive entry level hiring because they face active regulatory environments, require ongoing engagement with lawmakers and agencies, and need junior staff to support senior government affairs professionals with research, drafting, and stakeholder outreach.
