Materials Manager Jobs in Massachusetts: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a materials manager in Massachusetts?
Most materials managers in Massachusetts enter the field with a bachelor's degree in supply chain, operations, business, or engineering, then build experience in purchasing, planning, or inventory control roles. Massachusetts does not require a state-issued license for materials managers, but earning APICS credentials such as the CPIM or CSCP is widely expected by the state's defense, life sciences, and advanced manufacturing employers and is often the deciding factor in competitive hiring decisions.
How much do materials managers make in Massachusetts?
Materials managers in Massachusetts earn a median of about $170,750 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $105,500 for the lowest 10% to over $266,990 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire materials managers in Massachusetts?
Employers hiring materials managers in Massachusetts right now include Ocean Spray, Lila Sciences, and AECOM, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Massachusetts's concentration of defense contractors, medical device manufacturers, and biotech firms means demand for materials managers with regulated-industry experience is especially consistent across the state.
Which Massachusetts cities have the most materials manager jobs?
Cambridge, Middleboro, and Boston have the most materials manager openings in Massachusetts. The Boston metro drives volume through its life sciences and technology sectors, while Lowell and Worcester reflect the state's deep advanced manufacturing base, with major defense and industrial employers maintaining large production and distribution facilities in those corridors.
Are there remote materials manager jobs in Massachusetts?
Yes, but they're rare. Materials manager work is largely hands-on and tied to physical inventory, production floors, and supplier visits, which limits remote options. About 75% of materials manager openings tied to Massachusetts are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, and those positions tend to be in strategic sourcing, procurement analytics, or supply chain program management rather than day-to-day inventory or warehouse operations.
How can I get hired as a materials manager in Massachusetts with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is starting in a materials coordinator, purchasing assistant, or production planner role at a Massachusetts manufacturer or medical device company, then building toward a manager title. Large Massachusetts employers like those in the Route 128 technology corridor and the Greater Lowell manufacturing cluster regularly hire entry-level supply chain associates. Enrolling in an APICS student membership and completing the CPIM Part One exam before your first interview gives candidates without direct management experience a concrete, recognized credential that carries weight with Massachusetts hiring teams.
Where can I find and apply to materials manager jobs in Massachusetts?
You can find and apply to materials manager jobs in Massachusetts on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across the state's manufacturing, life sciences, defense, and distribution sectors. Find roles that fit your background and apply directly.
