- Build role-based learning programs for employees, managers, champions, power users, and technical teams.
- Establish and manage an internal champion network to support adoption, identify barriers, and reinforce responsible AI use.
- Measure program health and adoption through delivery, risk, usage, learning, support, and value metrics—and use insights to improve outcomes.
- Use tools such as Azure DevOps, Jira, Confluence, ServiceNow, Excel, PowerPoint, and Power BI to manage delivery, reporting, workflows, and documentation.
- Partner with teams working in Azure, Databricks, enterprise applications, integrations, and governed AI environments, including services such as Azure AI Foundry, Azure OpenAI, Azure AI Search, Azure Monitor, Application
- Insights, Key Vault, Microsoft Entra ID, managed identities, and Unity Catalog.
- Support the delivery and responsible adoption of AI-enabled applications, LLM APIs, model gateways, agentic workflows, workflow automation, and enterprise knowledge systems.
- Work within established security, privacy, service-management, and control practices, with familiarity in frameworks and tools such as ISO 27001, ITIL, SOC 2, NIST, Microsoft Defender, Microsoft Sentinel, and Microsoft Purview.
About You:
- Bachelor’s degree in a related field or equivalent practical experience.
- 2+ years of experience leading complex, cross-functional technical programs in cloud, data, applications, integrations, security, AI/ML, or similar environments.
- Experience managing technical delivery plans, portfolios, dependencies, risks, issues, decisions, executive communications, and capacity planning.
- Experience coordinating enterprise vendors and technology partners through implementation, support, service-level management, remediation, renewal, and escalation.
- Technical fluency in cloud and enterprise systems, including APIs, integrations, identity, data flows, testing, release readiness, observability, support, and recovery.
- Familiarity with Azure, Databricks, Microsoft Entra ID, enterprise integrations, SaaS platforms, and AI-enabled applications or workflows.
- Experience with technology rollout, organizational change, AI enablement, or learning and development programs, including curriculum development, facilitator or champion enablement, and learning-effectiveness measurement.
- Strong judgment, communication, and facilitation skills, with the ability to turn ambiguity into clear actions and decisions.
- Ability to work effectively with globally distributed teams and sensitive internal, vendor, operational, and security information.
- Experience in semiconductor, cloud infrastructure, developer-platform, or enterprise engineering environments is a plus.

Entry Level Technical Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level technical manager job?
Start by highlighting any internship, capstone project, or team lead experience where you coordinated technical work, even informally. Employers hiring at this level look for candidates who can communicate between technical and non-technical stakeholders, manage small project scopes, and demonstrate basic familiarity with tools like Jira, Agile frameworks, or version control systems. A portfolio showing real outcomes gives your application a concrete edge.
Which companies hire entry level technical managers?
Companies hiring entry level technical managers right now include Google, VAST Data, and Amazon, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. At this level, hiring tends to come from growth-stage tech companies, enterprise IT departments, and manufacturers scaling their engineering teams who are willing to develop early-career talent into the role.
Are there remote entry level technical manager jobs?
Yes, though fully remote openings are less common at this level than at senior levels. About 44% of entry level technical manager openings are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, meaning candidates outside major tech hubs still have real options. Hybrid roles in particular give new entrants valuable in-person exposure to team dynamics and stakeholder relationships.
Are these new grad technical manager jobs?
Yes. Many of the postings here are new grad and junior roles that explicitly welcome recent graduates with zero to two years of experience. A new-grad-friendly posting typically accepts internship experience, volunteer team coordination, or a strong portfolio in place of full-time work history. Look for language like "recent graduates encouraged" or "will train" to identify the most accessible openings.
Which industries hire the most entry level technical managers?
Entry Level technical manager roles concentrate in Technology & Software, Staffing & Recruiting, and Artificial Intelligence, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. These sectors drive early-career hiring because they have large technical teams that need coordination and project oversight, and they tend to build junior managers up from within rather than requiring candidates to arrive fully formed.
