Entry Level Research Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an entry level research manager job?

Focus on demonstrating hands-on research experience, even from coursework, internships, or independent projects. Employers at this level look for candidates who can design a study, manage data collection, and communicate findings clearly. A well-organized portfolio showcasing those skills, combined with familiarity with research tools and methodologies, gives entry level candidates a meaningful edge over applicants with only a degree.

Which companies hire entry level research managers?

Companies hiring entry level research managers right now include Anthropic, Fuel Cycle, and North Carolina State University, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Hiring at this level covers a wide range of organizations, from market research firms and consumer insights teams to nonprofits, healthcare systems, and technology companies building out early-career research functions.

Are there remote entry level research manager jobs?

Yes, though availability varies by industry and employer. About 16% of entry level research manager openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the data-driven and project-based nature of research work that translates well to distributed teams. Filtering by work setting on Migrate Mate lets you quickly identify which openings match your location preferences.

Are these new grad research manager jobs?

Yes. These listings include new grad, recent graduate, and junior research manager roles that explicitly welcome candidates with zero to two years of experience. A new grad friendly posting typically accepts internship experience, academic research projects, or a strong portfolio in place of full-time work history, making them realistic targets for candidates entering the field for the first time.

Which industries hire the most entry level research managers?

Entry Level research manager roles concentrate in Education, Technology & Software, and Science & Research, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. These sectors tend to drive early-career hiring because they rely on continuous data collection, consumer insights, or program evaluation work that is well-suited to junior researchers building foundational skills under senior oversight.
