Entry Level Operations and Communications Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level operations and communications manager job?
Employers hiring at the entry level look for candidates who can show hands-on project coordination, clear written communication, and basic process management, even from internships, volunteer roles, or coursework. A portfolio of communications samples or a documented example of organizing a team process gives you a concrete edge. Tailoring your resume to highlight cross-functional collaboration and attention to detail rounds out a strong application at this stage.
Which companies hire entry level operations and communications managers?
Companies hiring entry level operations and communications managers right now include Urban Outfitters, Digital Realty, and Lockheed Martin, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from mid-size organizations and growing teams that need someone to build and maintain both internal processes and external messaging from the ground up.
Are there remote entry level operations and communications manager jobs?
Yes, though on-site roles are still common at the entry level. About 75% of entry level operations and communications manager openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, giving candidates flexibility to apply beyond their immediate city. Remote roles at this stage often require especially strong written communication skills, since much of the coordination happens asynchronously.
Are these new grad operations and communications manager jobs?
Yes, many of these postings are new grad and junior roles that welcome recent graduates with little or no prior experience. A new grad-friendly posting typically calls for zero to two years of experience and counts internships, campus organization leadership, or a communications portfolio toward the requirement. Roles labeled coordinator, associate, or junior operations and communications manager are the clearest signals that a position is built for new grads.
Which industries hire the most entry level operations and communications managers?
Entry Level operations and communications manager roles concentrate in Airlines and Construction & Real Estate, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors tend to drive entry level hiring because they run large teams, frequent stakeholder updates, and ongoing process improvement cycles that benefit from dedicated operations and communications support early in the org structure.
