Director Of Account Management Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a director of account management in Texas?
The role carries no state-issued license in Texas, so the path runs through experience and education rather than a credential board. Most Texas employers expect a bachelor's degree in business, marketing, or a related field, followed by several years progressing through account executive or senior account manager roles. Large Texas employers in technology and enterprise services typically promote internally from account management tracks, so building tenure at a Texas-based company is one of the most reliable routes to the director level.
How much do director of account managements make in Texas?
Director of account managements in Texas earn a median of about $147,880 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $81,820 for the lowest 10% to over $259,200 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire director of account managements in Texas?
Employers hiring director of account managements in Texas right now include Darling Ingredients, Ernest, and Konica Minolta Business Solutions, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters and major technology and healthcare companies means director-level account management roles appear consistently throughout the year rather than in seasonal waves.
Which Texas cities have the most director of account management jobs?
Houston, Irving, and Dallas have the most director of account management openings in Texas. Dallas-Fort Worth leads because of its dense cluster of corporate headquarters and enterprise technology firms, Houston adds volume through its energy services and healthcare systems, and Austin contributes a growing share of SaaS and cloud-services employers that rely heavily on senior account management leadership.
Are there remote director of account management jobs in Texas?
Yes, and more than most fields. Account management at the director level is largely desk-based and relationship-driven, which makes remote and hybrid arrangements common. About 5% of director of account management openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting how broadly distributed the client bases of Texas employers tend to be. Strategic and oversight responsibilities, such as portfolio reviews, forecasting, and team coaching, are the functions most often performed fully remotely.
How can I get hired as a director of account management in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is landing an account executive or senior account manager role first and building toward the director title from within a Texas company. Large Texas employers in technology, healthcare services, and logistics run structured commercial development programs that funnel strong individual contributors into people-management tracks. Lateral moves from customer success management or sales operations roles are also common entry points. A Salesforce certification or demonstrated portfolio of retained enterprise accounts gives candidates without a prior director title a concrete edge in Texas hiring processes.
Where can I find and apply to director of account management jobs in Texas?
