Development Manager Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a development manager in New York?
Most development managers in New York enter the role after several years in a contributor or team lead position, typically in technology, finance, real estate, or nonprofit advancement, combined with a relevant bachelor's degree. No state-issued license is required for the role itself, though New York's competitive market strongly favors candidates who hold a PMP certification or an MBA. Large New York employers generally promote from within or recruit candidates with demonstrated team leadership experience in adjacent roles.
How much do development managers make in New York?
Development managers in New York earn a median of about $167,200 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $90,760 for the lowest 10% to over $305,970 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire development managers in New York?
Employers hiring development managers in New York right now include CVS Health, Amazon Web Services, and Amazon, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. New York's density of financial institutions, major health systems, and large nonprofits means the role appears across a wider range of industries here than in most other states.
Which New York cities have the most development manager jobs?
New York, Albany, and New York State have the most development manager openings in New York. New York City dominates because it is home to the headquarters of major banks, global technology firms, and large nonprofit organizations that all maintain dedicated development management functions, while Albany and Buffalo contribute openings tied to state government technology initiatives, regional health systems, and manufacturing operations.
Are there remote development manager jobs in New York?
Yes, and they are more common than in most management roles. About 76% of development manager openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how much of the work involves planning, coordination, and stakeholder communication rather than on-site presence. Software and product development management positions are the most likely to be offered fully remote, while real estate and construction development roles almost always require in-person work.
How can I get hired as a development manager in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is moving into a junior or associate development role from a closely adjacent position such as project coordinator, business analyst, or development associate, which are roles that large New York institutions like NYU Langone Health, the City University of New York, and major financial firms actively fill with early-career candidates. Building a portfolio of delivered projects and earning a PMP or Scrum Master credential strengthens applications considerably. Many New York nonprofits also run associate-level development programs designed for candidates without direct management experience.
Where can I find and apply to development manager jobs in New York?
You can find and apply to development manager jobs in New York on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings across New York City, Albany, Buffalo, and the broader state. Find roles that fit your background and apply directly to the ones that match.
