Entry Level Network Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level network manager job?
Entry level network manager employers look for candidates who can demonstrate hands-on skills, even without years of professional experience. A home lab, a college capstone project, or an internship where you configured routers, managed switches, or troubleshot connectivity gives you something concrete to discuss. Certifications like CompTIA Network+ or Cisco's CCNA signal foundational knowledge and help junior candidates stand out against others with similar backgrounds.
Which companies hire entry level network managers?
Companies hiring entry level network managers right now include Stripe, Oracle, and Amazon, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from managed service providers, healthcare systems, government contractors, and mid-size enterprises building out or expanding their IT infrastructure teams.
Are there remote entry level network manager jobs?
Yes, though most entry level network manager roles are on-site because hands-on equipment access is often part of the job. About 60% of entry level network manager openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, so options do exist for candidates who need location flexibility, particularly at larger organizations with established remote network operations practices.
Are these new grad network manager jobs?
Yes, these listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior network manager roles that explicitly welcome candidates with little or no professional experience. A new grad-friendly posting typically calls for zero to two years of experience and accepts internships, academic projects, or certifications in place of a long work history. If a listing mentions CompTIA Network+, entry-level IT support experience, or a relevant degree, it is generally open to new grads.
Which industries hire the most entry level network managers?
Entry Level network manager roles concentrate in Banking & Financial Services, Technology & Software, and Retail, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors tend to drive hiring at the junior level because they maintain large, complex networks that require dedicated staff to monitor, maintain, and troubleshoot on a daily basis.
