Data Manager Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a data manager in Texas?
Most data manager roles in Texas require a bachelor's degree in information management, computer science, business analytics, or a related field, followed by hands-on experience in data operations or analysis. Texas has no state-issued license specifically for data managers, so employers screen heavily on technical credentials such as Certified Data Management Professional, cloud platform certifications, or healthcare-specific credentials like RHIA for health system roles. Building experience with enterprise tools used by large Texas employers in energy, healthcare, and technology accelerates hiring.
How much do data managers make in Texas?
Data managers in Texas earn a median of about $114,400 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $59,950 for the lowest 10% to over $161,590 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire data managers in Texas?
Employers hiring data managers in Texas right now include Turner & Townsend Pty Limited, Amazon, and Google, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Texas's concentration of large health systems, energy firms, and enterprise technology headquarters means demand is consistent across multiple industries rather than limited to a single sector.
Which Texas cities have the most data manager jobs?
Austin, Dallas, and Houston account for the largest share of data manager openings in Texas. Houston's energy and medical center employers drive heavy demand there, Dallas anchors the region's financial services and telecom hiring, and Austin's technology sector and state government agencies create a steady pipeline of openings that draw from the broader Central Texas talent market.
Are there remote data manager jobs in Texas?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 43% of data manager openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the desk-based and analytical nature of the work. Strategic and governance-focused roles tend to be the most remote-friendly, while positions that require close coordination with on-site data infrastructure or regulated healthcare systems are more likely to require in-person presence.
How can I get hired as a data manager in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into a data manager role from an adjacent position such as data analyst, database administrator, or business intelligence analyst within a large Texas employer. Health systems like Baylor Scott and White and university systems across Texas regularly bring on entry-level data coordinators or junior analysts who can grow into management. Earning a Certified Associate in Project Management credential or completing a cloud data certification strengthens a candidacy, and contributing to an open-source data project builds a portfolio that compensates for limited professional history.
