Development Manager Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a development manager in California?
Most development manager roles in California require a bachelor's degree in a related field such as business administration, urban planning, computer science, or nonprofit management, followed by several years of hands-on project or program experience. California does not issue a single universal license for the title, but roles in real estate development may require a California real estate license through the Department of Real Estate, while construction-focused positions often expect a Project Management Professional credential or similar certification.
How much do development managers make in California?
Development managers in California earn a median of about $174,560 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $98,280 for the lowest 10% to over $303,680 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire development managers in California?
Employers hiring development managers in California right now include Amazon, TikTok, and Apple, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. California's concentration of technology headquarters, major health systems, and large nonprofit foundations means demand for development managers cuts across a wider range of industries here than in most other states.
Which California cities have the most development manager jobs?
San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Jose currently have the most development manager openings in California. The distribution reflects the state's major economic clusters: the Bay Area's density of technology and venture-backed companies drives high volume in San Francisco, while Los Angeles concentrates hiring in entertainment, real estate, and large nonprofits, and San Diego's life sciences corridor generates steady demand for clinical and research development managers.
Are there remote development manager jobs in California?
Yes, and more than most management fields, because development management in technology and nonprofit sectors is heavily planning, communication, and systems-based work. About 27% of development manager openings tied to California are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting the role's adaptability outside of construction or on-site project contexts. Strategic planning, donor relations, and product roadmap functions transfer most readily to distributed arrangements.
How can I get hired as a development manager in California with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is through an adjacent coordinator or analyst role at a California employer who promotes from within. Large technology companies such as Salesforce and Adobe run associate program manager tracks designed for career changers and recent graduates, while major California health systems including Kaiser Permanente and Sutter Health hire development associates for their foundation teams. Completing a Project Management Professional certification or a Certified Fund Raising Executive credential signals readiness and gives candidates a concrete edge over peers with similar work histories.
Where can I find and apply to development manager jobs in California?
You can find and apply to development manager jobs in California on Migrate Mate, which lists current California openings from employers actively hiring for the role. Search by city or specialty to narrow results to positions that match your background, then apply directly to the roles that fit.
