MUST RESIDE IN THE SOUTHEAST VALLEY
THE OPPORTUNITY
We're not looking for someone to "check in" on referral partners once a week.
We need a territory-owning, relationship-building, results-driven Business Development Manager who is out in the field every single day — meeting discharge planners, social workers, senior living directors, and community leaders who trust you to send their patients and families to the right care provider.
That provider is FirstLight. Your job is to make sure they know it.
But this role is more than sales. You'll sit across from families navigating one of the hardest seasons of their lives — and you'll be the person who helps them feel safe, heard, and guided toward the right decision. We need heart AND hustle. Not one or the other.
No ceiling. No cap. Sky is the limit — for the right person.
Base salary $55,000-$70,000 + uncapped commission. Strong performers earn $80,000-$100,000+ in their first year. No cap. No ceiling.
WHAT YOU'LL OWN
Territory Management
- Own a defined geographic territory across the Southeast Valley (Chandler, Gilbert, Mesa, Tempe, Ahwatukee, Queen Creek, San Tan Valley)
- Map, prioritize, and systematically work your referral source universe
- Build a territory plan with weekly and monthly outreach targets — and execute it relentlessly
Daily Referral Development
- Conduct 8-12 in-person visits per day to referral sources: hospitals, SNFs, rehab centers, ALFs, physician offices, hospice agencies, and community organizations
- Build relationships that generate consistent, quality referrals — not one-and-done contacts
- Follow up with precision — no lead left cold, no relationship left unworked
Client-Facing Consultations
- Meet directly with prospective clients and their families — in their homes, in facilities, wherever they are
- Conduct warm, compassionate consultations that help families understand their care options and feel confident saying yes to FirstLight
- Be the face they remember — the person who listened when they were scared, overwhelmed, or unsure
- Bridge the gap between referral and signed agreement with genuine human connection
Community Outreach and Events
- Plan and execute lunch-and-learns, health fairs, educational events, and networking appearances across your territory
- Represent FirstLight at community events with professionalism and passion
- Partner with leadership to build outreach campaigns that expand brand awareness
Pipeline and CRM Management
- Log every visit, call, and follow-up in the CRM — same day, every day
- Use data to spot gaps, double down on what's working, and sharpen your approach
- Report weekly on pipeline activity, referral trends, and territory progress
WHO YOU ARE
- 2-4 years of outside sales or business development experience — home care, hospice, healthcare, or senior living strongly preferred
- A daily field presence is your natural operating mode — you're not a desk person
- You've consistently met or exceeded sales targets and you can prove it
- You're the kind of person referral partners call back — because you're real, you follow through, and you actually care what happens to the client after the referral
- Families trust you immediately. That's not something you learned — it's who you are
- You can read a room — know when to sit quietly and listen, and when to confidently ask for the next step
- You're self-directed and accountable — you don't need someone to tell you to get back out there
- You're the rare combination: heart and hustle
- Valid driver's license and reliable transportation required
WHY FIRSTLIGHT SOUTHEAST VALLEY
We are one of the fastest-growing home care providers in the Southeast Valley — and we're just getting started. You won't be inheriting a saturated territory. You'll be building something, with corporate support behind you and a team that believes great care and great sales go hand in hand.

Business Development Manager Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a business development manager in Arizona?
Business development manager roles in Arizona do not require a state-issued license or exam, so the path runs through education and experience. Most Arizona employers expect a bachelor's degree in business administration, marketing, or a related field, followed by several years in sales, account management, or a related commercial role. Building familiarity with Arizona's dominant industries, particularly technology, healthcare, and defense, and earning a credential such as a Certified Business Development Professional designation strengthens a candidate's profile considerably.
Which companies hire business development managers in Arizona?
Employers hiring business development managers in Arizona right now include American Express, IQVIA, and American Heart Association, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of September 2026. Arizona's concentration of technology companies in the Scottsdale and Tempe corridors, alongside major healthcare systems and defense contractors in the greater Phoenix area, means demand for business development talent stays consistent across multiple industry verticals throughout the year.
Which Arizona cities have the most business development manager jobs?
Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Tucson account for the most business development manager openings in Arizona. Phoenix drives the largest share because it houses the regional headquarters of major financial services firms, healthcare organizations, and technology companies, while Scottsdale's concentration of SaaS startups and professional services firms and Tempe's proximity to Arizona State University and its surrounding innovation ecosystem add significant hiring volume of their own.
Are there remote business development manager jobs in Arizona?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 69% of business development manager openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of September 2026, reflecting how much of the role centers on calls, video meetings, and digital outreach rather than on-site presence. Strategic account management and partnership development work tend to offer the most remote flexibility, while roles focused on local enterprise sales or government contracting in Arizona more often require in-person client engagement.
How can I get hired as a business development manager in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry point is a business development representative or inside sales role at one of Arizona's many technology or healthcare companies, where structured ramp programs give new professionals direct exposure to pipeline building and account management. Large Arizona employers such as Honeywell and Banner Health run rotational and associate programs that accept candidates from adjacent roles in marketing, customer success, or account coordination. Completing a Salesforce certification or a formal sales methodology training course gives early-career candidates a measurable edge when applying.
Where can I find and apply to business development manager jobs in Arizona?
You can find and apply to business development manager jobs in Arizona on Migrate Mate, which lists current Arizona openings from employers actively hiring in the state. Search the listings to see roles that match your experience level and target industry, then apply directly to the ones that fit your background.
