Job Description
CBRE is using this platform to provide general information to individuals who want to learn more about a career at CBRE. If an opportunity opens that matches your qualifications, we will reach out to you at that time. We are growing a world-class organization with a world-class team and appreciate your interest in CBRE. We welcome you to explore our Careers page and apply directly to any positions that interest you. We will not consider the submission of resumes on this platform as an expression of interest in any posted position at CBRE.
About the Role:
CBRE’s Strategic Portfolio Management division serves the country’s largest institutional property owners. As Account Lead, you will run one of these marquee accounts as a standalone operating business, owning its financial performance, service delivery, client partnership, talent, transformation, and growth.
You will hold full profit-and-loss accountability for property management, engineering, accounting, and tenant experience across the client’s portfolio. Accounts in this program span 25 million to 75 million square feet across office and/or logistics assets. The scale and composition of the leadership team will reflect the portfolio’s size, complexity, and geography.
Why we want an Asset Manager: Every decision on this account either creates, preserves, or dilutes portfolio value—from capital projects and staffing models to vendor consolidation, technology, and service standards. A leader who has made those decisions from the ownership side can evaluate operating choices through an investor’s lens rather than simply manage to the contract.
You will apply that ownership lens to an operating platform larger than any single portfolio, and you will engage with the client using their language - language you also use and understand from your own experience.
The team you lead: You inherit an established organization. Some people will have worked for the client, some for CBRE in a single market, and some for another service provider; few will have chosen the transition. You will shape the account leadership team across operations, engineering, technology, transformation, and client experience while developing the people already serving the portfolio.
Changing how an established organization works is harder than building one from the ground up. People understand the rationale behind legacy practices, and some of those practices will be worth preserving. Success requires the judgment to distinguish what should remain from what must change, and the leadership to bring people with you.
The enterprise seat: This is an enterprise executive position at CBRE. You will lead the account, help shape the direction of Strategic Portfolio Management, and influence how CBRE serves its largest institutional clients.
- Accountable for talent and succession across your organization, including a working succession plan for every senior role.
- Accountable for how risk is managed in your part of the business.
- Expected to act in the best interests of the enterprise and create an environment in which supporting other parts of CBRE is expected and valued.
- Accountable for using facts and data to evaluate performance, make decisions, and communicate results.
- Expected to give candid input before a decision, and to back the decision once the executive team makes it.
Most asset management leaders reach a point where their influence stops at the portfolio. This seat does not have that ceiling.
What You’ll Do:
Financial and operational performance. The account result is yours, end to end.- One point of accountability. Across every market and every property. The client stops managing many relationships and manages one.
- Translation of strategy into delivery. You know where value gets created and diluted in an institutional portfolio. You read the client's plan to understand their investment and portfolio strategy, translate the plan into property level priorities, and align CBRE’s operating teams around the actions that protect and create value for the client.
- The operating model. Cost structure, service integration, standardization across markets, and how the account absorbs portfolio contraction and expansion.
- Transformation. Change management, system adoption, and the operating improvements the client could not run on their own.
- Portfolio insight. You will connect operating performance, market intelligence, and portfolio data to identify patterns, risks, and opportunities. You will translate those insights into recommendations that inform client strategy, strengthen retention, and create opportunities for growth.
- Proactive Risk Management. You will maintain a forward view of portfolio, operating, financial, and relationship risk so service failures, staffing gaps, and financial issues reach you before they reach the client. You will identify emerging issues before they become escalations and mobilize the right leaders to resolve them.
- Governance with the client. You establish governance in partnership with the client, including the steering committee, and the operating cadence beneath it. Then you hold both organizations to it.
- The contract. You will own contract governance, compliance, performance against commitments, renewal, and expansion.
- Growth. You will be accountable for year-over-year revenue growth, wallet share, and client satisfaction. You will identify and convert opportunities to deepen and expand the client relationship.

Managing Director Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a managing director in Texas?
Becoming a managing director in Texas typically requires a bachelor's degree in business, finance, or a related field, followed by progressive leadership experience advancing through senior manager or vice president roles. Texas has no state-issued license specific to the managing director title itself, but roles in regulated industries such as financial services may require FINRA registrations or Texas-specific regulatory credentials. An MBA is frequently expected at larger Texas-headquartered firms.
How much do managing directors make in Texas?
Managing directors in Texas earn a median of about $103,230 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $46,190 for the lowest 10% to over $264,620 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire managing directors in Texas?
Employers hiring managing directors in Texas right now include Next STEPS Worldwide, KPMG, and JPMorganChase, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Texas's deep concentration of Fortune 500 headquarters and major regional operations in energy, finance, and technology makes it one of the more consistent states for managing director openings year-round.
Which Texas cities have the most managing director jobs?
Dallas, Houston, and Plano have the most managing director openings in Texas. Houston's dominance in energy and petrochemical sectors drives significant executive demand there, Dallas's concentration of financial services, consulting, and corporate headquarters fills out much of the remainder, and Austin's rapid technology and venture-backed company growth has made it an increasingly strong market for senior leadership roles.
Are there remote managing director jobs in Texas?
Yes, but they're less common than in purely analytical roles, since managing directors are typically expected to lead teams, engage clients, and represent the organization in person. About 47% of managing director openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting a market that favors presence. Strategic oversight functions, such as corporate development and investor relations, are the areas most likely to offer remote flexibility.
How can I get hired as a managing director in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is building toward the role through senior manager or director positions in your target industry, then moving up internally or through lateral hires. Large Texas employers in energy, banking, and technology such as Chevron Phillips, Wells Fargo's Texas operations, and major Austin-based tech firms regularly promote from senior individual contributor and manager tracks. Earning an MBA from a Texas program and taking on P&L responsibility in a lower-level role are the credentials that most consistently open doors to managing director consideration.
Where can I find and apply to managing director jobs in Texas?
You can find and apply to managing director jobs in Texas on Migrate Mate, which lists current Texas openings from employers actively hiring. Find the roles that fit your background and apply directly to the ones that match.
