Competencies – What we’re looking for
- Strong project management, organizational, and execution skills.
- Ability to coordinate multiple projects, priorities, and stakeholders simultaneously.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Strong attention to detail and follow-through.
- Ability to bring structure and clarity to ambiguous or rapidly evolving projects.
- High ownership mindset and willingness to proactively solve problems.
- Comfortable working with technical teams, leadership, external partners, and vendors.
- Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced startup environment.

Entry Level Partnerships Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level partnerships manager job?
Focus on demonstrating relationship-building skills, even from internships, campus organizations, or volunteer work. Employers at this level look for candidates who can communicate clearly, manage multiple contacts, and understand basic business development concepts. A cover letter that highlights a specific partnership or collaboration you helped drive, however small, will stand out more than a generic application.
Which companies hire entry level partnerships managers?
Companies hiring entry level partnerships managers right now include OneLegacy, Color, and Jobot, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Startups, media companies, and technology platforms tend to be especially active at the junior level because they build partner networks quickly and need early-career talent to support that growth.
Are there remote entry level partnerships manager jobs?
Yes, though on-site and hybrid roles still make up a large share of postings at this experience level. About 33% of entry level partnerships manager openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, so candidates open to any work setting will have the widest range of options to consider.
Are these new grad partnerships manager jobs?
Yes, many of these postings are new grad and junior roles that explicitly welcome recent graduates with little to no professional experience. A new grad-friendly partnerships manager posting typically accepts zero to two years of experience, counts internships toward that threshold, and values a demonstrated ability to build relationships or manage a project over prior corporate history.
Which industries hire the most entry level partnerships managers?
Entry Level partnerships manager roles concentrate in Healthcare & Medical Services, Education, and Renewable Energy, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors rely heavily on affiliate networks, channel partners, and co-marketing relationships, which creates steady demand for junior talent who can support and coordinate those programs from the ground up.
