Quality Assurance Manager Jobs in North Carolina: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a quality assurance manager in North Carolina?
Most quality assurance manager roles in North Carolina require a bachelor's degree in a science, engineering, or technical field combined with hands-on experience in a regulated industry such as pharmaceuticals, medical devices, or food manufacturing. North Carolina does not issue a state license specific to quality assurance managers, but employers in the Triangle's pharma corridor and Charlotte's industrial sector strongly prefer candidates holding the Certified Quality Manager credential from the American Society for Quality, which has an active regional section in North Carolina.
How much do quality assurance managers make in North Carolina?
Quality assurance managers in North Carolina earn a median of about $125,940 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $77,130 for the lowest 10% to over $206,310 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire quality assurance managers in North Carolina?
Employers hiring quality assurance managers in North Carolina right now include Food Lion, NV5, and Butterball, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. North Carolina's concentration of pharmaceutical manufacturers, contract research organizations, and food production facilities in the Research Triangle and Piedmont region makes it one of the more active states for this role nationwide.
Which North Carolina cities have the most quality assurance manager jobs?
Charlotte, Raleigh, and Winston-Salem have the most quality assurance manager openings in North Carolina. The Research Triangle area anchored by Raleigh and Durham draws the highest volume thanks to its dense cluster of pharmaceutical, biotech, and contract manufacturing companies, while Charlotte's large manufacturing and distribution base and Greensboro's food and beverage production sector sustain steady hiring in those markets.
Are there remote quality assurance manager jobs in North Carolina?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely desk-based fields, because quality assurance managers often need to be present on production floors, in labs, or during audits. About 34% of quality assurance manager openings tied to North Carolina are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with remote arrangements most likely for roles focused on documentation review, supplier quality management, or quality systems administration rather than hands-on manufacturing oversight.
How can I get hired as a quality assurance manager in North Carolina with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into a quality assurance coordinator or QA technician role within one of North Carolina's pharmaceutical or medical device manufacturers and building toward the manager level from there. Large employers in the Research Triangle and Greensboro areas frequently hire new graduates with science or engineering degrees into associate quality roles. Earning an entry-level Certified Quality Technician or Certified Quality Inspector credential from the American Society for Quality meaningfully strengthens an application before the first management title.
Where can I find and apply to quality assurance manager jobs in North Carolina?
You can find and apply to quality assurance manager jobs in North Carolina on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings in the state. Search for roles that match your experience and industry background and apply directly to the ones that fit.
