Entry Level Sales Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level sales manager job?
Employers hiring at the entry level look for candidates who can show early sales results, even from internships, campus roles, or part-time work. A record of hitting targets, leading a small team project, or completing a sales training program gives you a real edge. Tailor your resume to the industry, highlight any quota or pipeline experience, and apply to roles that explicitly welcome new graduates or candidates with under two years of experience.
Which companies hire entry level sales managers?
Companies hiring entry level sales managers right now include AutoZone, Ulta, and PepsiCo, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. At this level, you'll find a mix of fast-growing startups, regional retailers, and national firms that actively develop junior talent through structured onboarding and sales training programs.
Are there remote entry level sales manager jobs?
Yes, though most entry level sales manager roles still prefer on-site or hybrid arrangements to support early coaching and team development. About 3% of entry level sales manager openings are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, so options exist if location flexibility is a priority for you.
Are these new grad sales manager jobs?
Yes, many of the listings here are new grad and junior roles that welcome recent graduates and candidates with little to no professional experience. A new grad-friendly posting typically accepts zero to two years of experience, counts internships or campus leadership toward eligibility, and may substitute a strong portfolio or demonstrated sales results for a longer work history.
Which industries hire the most entry level sales managers?
Entry Level sales manager roles concentrate in Automotive, Retail, and Distribution & Wholesale, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. These sectors tend to drive hiring at the junior level because they rely on high-volume sales teams and invest in developing new talent from the ground up.
