Development Manager Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a development manager in Texas?
Most development managers in Texas start with a bachelor's degree in business, engineering, computer science, or a field aligned with their industry, then build several years of experience in a contributing or lead role before moving into management. Texas does not require a state-issued license for most development manager positions, but employers in software and technology commonly expect a PMP certification or an agile credential such as Certified Scrum Master. Nonprofit development managers often benefit from a CFRE credential to strengthen fundraising credibility with Texas employers.
How much do development managers make in Texas?
Development managers in Texas earn a median of about $134,390 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $78,050 for the lowest 10% to over $220,370 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire development managers in Texas?
Employers hiring development managers in Texas right now include Amazon, KPMG, and Apple, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's mix of major technology firms, large hospital systems, financial institutions, and growing nonprofit organizations means development manager roles appear across a wide range of industries throughout the state.
Which Texas cities have the most development manager jobs?
Austin, Dallas, and Houston have the most development manager openings in Texas. Houston's energy, healthcare, and construction sectors and Dallas's concentration of corporate headquarters and financial services firms drive the bulk of postings, while Austin's technology industry has made it one of the fastest-growing markets for software development management roles in the state.
Are there remote development manager jobs in Texas?
Yes, and more than many comparable roles, because development management in technology and certain business functions is well suited to distributed teams. About 24% of development manager openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting the desk-based and collaborative nature of the work. Roles focused on software or product development tend to offer the most remote flexibility, while construction or real estate development management positions typically require on-site presence.
How can I get hired as a development manager in Texas 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, business analyst, or team lead within the same organization. Large Texas employers in technology, including those based in Austin and the Dallas Metroplex, regularly hire associate or junior development roles designed for candidates building toward management. Earning a PMP certification or completing an agile certification while in a contributing role signals readiness and gives candidates a concrete edge when applying for their first management title.
