Development Manager Jobs in Missouri: Frequently Asked Questions

How do you become a development manager in Missouri?

Development manager roles in Missouri do not require a state-issued license, but employers consistently expect a bachelor's degree in business, computer science, or a related field alongside demonstrated leadership experience. Most candidates move into the role from senior individual contributor positions in software engineering, project management, or business development. Earning a Project Management Professional certification strengthens a candidacy significantly with Missouri's larger technology and healthcare employers.

How much do development managers make in Missouri?

Development managers in Missouri earn a median of about $125,760 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $64,990 for the lowest 10% to over $207,380 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.

Which companies hire development managers in Missouri?

Employers hiring development managers in Missouri right now include CVS Health, Cushman & Wakefield, and Burns & McDonnell, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Missouri's concentration of financial services firms, regional health systems, and enterprise technology companies means development manager openings appear consistently throughout the year rather than in isolated hiring waves.

Which Missouri cities have the most development manager jobs?

St. Louis, Kansas City, and Jefferson City account for the largest share of development manager openings in Missouri. Kansas City's dense cluster of healthcare technology companies and financial services headquarters drives the majority of postings, while St. Louis contributes heavily through its established base of logistics, life sciences, and enterprise software firms that maintain large internal development organizations.

Are there remote development manager jobs in Missouri?

Yes, and more than most fields. About 70% of development manager openings tied to Missouri are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how much of the role centers on planning, coordination, and stakeholder communication rather than physical presence. Fully remote postings are most common in software product development, where Missouri-based employers regularly hire managers who oversee distributed engineering teams.

How can I get hired as a development manager in Missouri with little or no experience?

The most realistic entry path is moving into a development manager role from a senior technical or project coordinator position at a Missouri employer. Large organizations like BJC HealthCare, Mastercard's Kansas City operations, and regional technology consultancies regularly promote from within and post associate program manager or development team lead roles that serve as stepping stones. Building a portfolio of delivered projects and earning a Certified Associate in Project Management credential gives early-career candidates a concrete edge when applying.

Where can I find and apply to development manager jobs in Missouri?

You can find and apply to development manager jobs in Missouri on Migrate Mate, which lists current Missouri openings across industries and experience levels. Find roles that fit your background and apply directly to each one. No profile creation is required to search and apply.
