- 1.5% – 2.5% gross commission on recurring MSA field service billings.
- 2.5% – 4.0% commission on high-margin crane, heavy haul, and turnkey project rentals.

Development Manager Jobs in Colorado: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a development manager in Colorado?
Most development manager roles in Colorado require a bachelor's degree in a relevant field such as business administration, engineering, computer science, or nonprofit management, followed by several years of progressive experience in a related role. Colorado does not require a state-issued license for most development manager positions, but those working in construction development may need familiarity with Colorado's local building and land-use permitting processes. Earning a PMP certification or a CFRE credential for fundraising roles strengthens competitiveness in the Colorado market.
How much do development managers make in Colorado?
Development managers in Colorado earn a median of about $171,140 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $105,020 for the lowest 10% to over $280,950 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire development managers in Colorado?
Employers hiring development managers in Colorado right now include CVS Health, JR Engineering, and SWTCH Energy, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Colorado's mix of large defense contractors, health systems, tech firms, and active real estate developers means openings appear across a wide range of industries throughout the state.
Which Colorado cities have the most development manager jobs?
Denver, Colorado Springs, and Colorado have the most development manager openings in Colorado. Denver dominates due to its concentration of corporate headquarters, major health systems, and a thriving tech sector, while Boulder draws roles tied to software and research-driven organizations, and Colorado Springs supports demand through defense contractors and regional government agencies.
Are there remote development manager jobs in Colorado?
Yes, and more than many management fields, since development manager work in software and nonprofit fundraising is well-suited to remote collaboration. About 74% of development manager openings tied to Colorado are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting the role's flexibility. The portions of the job focused on stakeholder meetings, budget reporting, and team coordination are the most commonly performed remotely, while site-based construction or facilities development roles typically require an on-site presence.
How can I get hired as a development manager in Colorado with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into a development manager role from an adjacent position such as project coordinator, development associate, or team lead within the same organization. Large Colorado employers like UCHealth, Xcel Energy, and Trimble run internal advancement programs and post associate-level manager openings that are open to internal candidates with limited formal management experience. Building a portfolio of completed projects, earning a PMP or CFRE credential, and targeting coordinator or specialist roles at Colorado nonprofits, tech companies, or construction firms are the most effective ways to build toward a development manager title.
