How do I get an entry level strategy lead job?
Entry level strategy lead roles reward candidates who can show structured thinking, even without years of experience. Employers at this level look for internship projects, case competitions, or coursework that demonstrates market analysis or business problem-solving. Tailoring your resume to highlight measurable outcomes from those experiences, and framing a cover letter around a specific business challenge, gives you a clear edge over candidates who submit generic applications.
Which companies hire entry level strategy leads?
Companies hiring entry level strategy leads right now include Google, Humana, and Adobe, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026.

Yes, though on-site and hybrid postings are still common at the entry level. About 11% of entry level strategy lead openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, which gives candidates outside major business hubs a realistic shot at these roles without relocating. Filtering by work setting on Migrate Mate lets you narrow to the arrangement that fits your situation.
Are these new grad strategy lead jobs?
Yes, the entry level strategy lead listings here include new grad, recent graduate, and junior roles. A posting is new-grad friendly when it explicitly welcomes zero to two years of experience, counts internships or co-ops toward that requirement, or accepts a strong portfolio in place of full-time history. Searching for those signals in the job description helps you identify which openings are open to candidates just starting out.
