Trade Compliance Manager Jobs in Texas: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a trade compliance manager in Texas?
Start with a bachelor's degree in international business, supply chain, law, or a related field, then build experience in customs, export controls, or import operations. Texas has no state-issued license for this role, but employers consistently prefer candidates holding the Certified U.S. Export Compliance Officer designation or a similar credential from the Society for International Affairs. Working first as a trade compliance analyst or customs broker at a Texas energy, defense, or manufacturing company is the most common path to a manager-level role.
How much do trade compliance managers make in Texas?
Trade compliance managers in Texas earn a median of about $75,370 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $45,170 for the lowest 10% to over $126,920 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire trade compliance managers in Texas?
Employers hiring trade compliance managers in Texas right now include Ariat International, Celestica, and Deloitte, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. Texas's concentration of defense contractors, energy multinationals, and semiconductor manufacturers means demand is consistent year-round rather than seasonal.
Which Texas cities have the most trade compliance manager jobs?
Houston, Haslet, and Dallas have the most trade compliance manager openings in Texas. Houston leads because of its dense cluster of energy companies and the Port of Houston, one of the busiest U.S. ports for international cargo, while Dallas draws hiring from aerospace, technology, and logistics firms, and San Antonio reflects steady demand from defense contractors and military installations in the region.
Are there remote trade compliance manager jobs in Texas?
Yes, and more than many compliance roles, because trade compliance work is largely document-driven and policy-focused rather than tied to a physical facility. About 29% of trade compliance manager openings tied to Texas are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, making it one of the more flexible roles in the compliance field. Export controls review, sanctions screening, and regulatory policy work are the functions most commonly performed remotely.
How can I get hired as a trade compliance manager in Texas with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a trade compliance analyst or customs coordinator role at a large Texas manufacturer or defense contractor, where you gain hands-on ITAR and EAR exposure before moving into management. Companies like Lockheed Martin, L3Harris, and major Houston-area energy firms regularly hire junior compliance staff and provide structured on-the-job training. Earning a Certified U.S. Export Compliance Officer credential while in an entry role signals seriousness to Texas hiring managers. A background in supply chain, logistics, or international business makes the lateral move more straightforward.
Where can I find and apply to trade compliance manager jobs in Texas?
