Business Development Executive Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a business development executive in Texas?
Most business development executive roles in Texas require a bachelor's degree in business administration, marketing, or a closely related field, though no state-issued license or registration applies to this role. Employers across Houston's energy corridor, the Dallas-Fort Worth technology and finance sectors, and Austin's startup ecosystem typically look for candidates who have progressed from sales representative or account manager roles and can demonstrate a history of building client relationships and closing revenue. Earning a Certified Professional Sales Person designation or completing a recognized MBA program adds a competitive edge in Texas's more senior-level searches.
How much do business development executives make in Texas?
Business development executives in Texas earn a median of about $130,610 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $78,730 for the lowest 10% to over $201,850 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire business development executives in Texas?
Employers hiring business development executives in Texas right now include Libra Solutions, Galls, and Gartner, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Texas's concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters, major energy companies, and fast-growing technology firms in Austin and Dallas-Fort Worth means the pipeline of open roles is consistently broad and competitive.
Which Texas cities have the most business development executive jobs?
Dallas, Houston, and Austin have the most business development executive openings in Texas. Houston's energy and petrochemical industry drives a large share of enterprise business development hiring, Dallas-Fort Worth's dense concentration of corporate headquarters and financial services firms generates consistent demand, and Austin's expanding technology sector draws companies that need executives to build new market relationships and strategic partnerships.
Are there remote business development executive jobs in Texas?
Yes, and more than most fields, because business development work is relationship-driven and often conducted over video calls, email, and virtual presentations rather than on a fixed job site. About 65% of business development executive openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how well the role translates to distributed work. The portions of the job most commonly done remotely are pipeline management, partner negotiations, and internal strategy meetings, while in-person travel is still expected for major client pitches and contract closes.
How can I get hired as a business development executive in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is starting in a sales development representative or inside sales role at a Texas-based technology or energy company, where structured onboarding programs teach prospecting, pipeline management, and client communication. Dell Technologies in Round Rock, Salesforce in Dallas, and mid-size Houston energy firms regularly hire candidates into rotational or associate sales programs designed for recent graduates. Building a portfolio of closed deals, earned certifications such as Salesforce Administrator or HubSpot Sales Software, or completing a relevant internship in a Texas industry vertical significantly improves the path to an executive-level title.
Where can I find and apply to business development executive jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to business development executive jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings from employers across the state. Search the listings for roles that match your experience level, location preference, and target industry, then apply directly to the ones that fit.
