Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Business Development Jobs at First Horizon Bank Jobs
Align your credentials with U.S. banking standards
First Horizon evaluates Business Development candidates on relationship management experience and financial product knowledge. Get your foreign transcripts evaluated by a NACES-accredited service before applying so your background maps cleanly to U.S. degree equivalencies.
Target roles with client-facing revenue responsibility
First Horizon's Business Development openings most likely to support sponsorship involve direct portfolio growth or commercial lending origination. Roles framed around pure relationship management or new-market expansion tend to meet the specialty occupation threshold required for H-1B classification more cleanly.
Use Migrate Mate to filter verified sponsorship roles
Not every Business Development listing at First Horizon will include sponsorship language upfront. Browse current openings on Migrate Mate, which surfaces roles by verified visa sponsorship history, so you're applying to positions where sponsorship has actually been offered.
Understand OPT timing relative to H-1B cap deadlines
If you're on F-1 OPT, map your OPT expiration against the April H-1B lottery filing window. First Horizon can file your H-1B petition in April for an October 1 start date, but your OPT must cover that gap or you'll need a cap-gap extension to stay authorized.
Address your business case in the initial screening
Recruiters at regional banks like First Horizon often handle sponsorship questions at the offer stage, not screening. Be ready to explain your visa status clearly and briefly in your first conversation so hiring managers can loop in HR early rather than discovering complications late.
Confirm the prevailing wage level before negotiating offers
First Horizon must file a Labor Condition Application with DOL for H-1B hires, certifying your salary meets the prevailing wage for the role and metro area. Review the DOL wage database for your specific Business Development title and location before your salary discussion.

Find Business Development at First Horizon Bank JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does First Horizon Bank sponsor H-1B visas for Business Developments?
Yes, First Horizon Bank has sponsored H-1B visas for Business Development roles. Sponsorship is most consistent for positions with defined specialty occupation requirements, typically those involving financial analysis, commercial lending strategy, or portfolio management. If you're in the active job search phase, confirm sponsorship availability directly with the recruiter during your initial screening call.
Which visa types does First Horizon Bank commonly use for Business Development roles?
First Horizon has sponsored H-1B visas for Business Development professionals and has also worked with F-1 OPT and CPT candidates for early-career and internship tracks. TN visas are an option for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying roles. For longer-term sponsorship, EB-2 and EB-3 Green Card pathways are also part of the picture for employees who have established themselves in the role.
What qualifications does First Horizon Bank expect for Business Development roles?
Most Business Development roles at First Horizon require a bachelor's degree in finance, business, economics, or a related field. Commercial banking experience, familiarity with treasury products, and a track record of client acquisition or relationship growth tend to strengthen candidacy. Roles in wealth management or specialty lending may require additional licensure or demonstrated portfolio management experience.
How do I apply for Business Development jobs at First Horizon Bank?
You can browse current Business Development openings at First Horizon Bank on Migrate Mate, which filters roles by visa sponsorship track record so you're targeting positions where international candidates have been sponsored before. Once you identify a role, apply through First Horizon's careers portal and flag your visa status in your initial recruiter conversation to give the hiring team time to prepare.
How do I plan my timeline for H-1B sponsorship at First Horizon Bank?
The H-1B cap lottery opens in March for an October 1 start date. If First Horizon extends you an offer, your petition needs to be filed in April through the USCIS registration process. Work backward from there: allow several weeks for LCA certification with DOL, document preparation, and internal legal review. Starting conversations with the hiring team in January or February gives you the most runway.
