Hurst guided Town to three wins and a draw from their four clashes in the first month of the campaign.
While following Saturday's win at Gillingham, Town sit in their highest position in the Football League pyramid since September 1989.
Hurst goes up against Wigan boss Paul Cook - who he will face in the dugout at Montgomery Waters Meadow, table-toppers Peterborough manager Grant McCann and Fleetwood chief Uwe Rosler.
Former Grimsby manager Hurst was nominated for the same gong last season after arriving at the Meadow in October, with Town rock-bottom.
The winner of the accolade will be decided on Friday.
