Starting in September 1968 Wang Min was one of the many sent-down youths sent down to the countryside and then worked in a factory during the Cultural Revolution. Later he studied at Nanjing Institute of Aeronautics (since renamed Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics) where he obtained a Ph.D. He stayed at the university as a professor, and eventually became its vice president.

Wang Min joined the Communist Party of China in July 1985. In July 1994, he was transferred from the university to the provincial government of Jiangsu as an assistant governor.

In October 2004, Wang Min was transferred to Jilin province in Northeast China, where he took the positions of deputy party chief, deputy governor, and acting governor. On 29 January 2005, he was elected Governor of Jilin province. In December 2006, he was promoted to the position of Communist Party Chief of Jilin and resigned as governor.

In November 2009, Wang was transferred from Jilin to neighbouring Liaoning province to become its Party Chief. He was succeeded by Sun Zhengcai as the Party Chief of Jilin. After reaching the age of 65, Wang Min was replaced by Governor Li Xi as Communist Party Secretary of Liaoning in May 2015. Subsequently, Wang was named a deputy chair of the National People's Congress Education, Science, Culture and Public Health Committee.
