Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Development Manager Jobs at First Horizon Bank Jobs
Align your credentials with banking technology standards
Development Manager roles at First Horizon Bank typically require demonstrated experience leading software or systems teams in a regulated industry. Prepare documentation that shows project scope, team size, and compliance-adjacent work, since financial services employers weigh regulated-environment experience heavily during credential review.
Target First Horizon's technology transformation pipeline
First Horizon has been expanding its digital banking capabilities, so Development Manager openings often sit within modernization programs. Search for roles tied to core banking platforms, API integration, or cloud migration, as these are where active headcount and sponsorship activity tend to concentrate.
Confirm sponsorship intent before the offer stage
Ask the hiring manager directly whether the role is approved for visa sponsorship during the final interview round, not after receiving an offer. Banking employers often require internal legal sign-off before committing, and delays at this stage can affect your I-94 or OPT timeline significantly.
Understand how PERM affects your Development Manager timeline
If First Horizon pursues an EB-2 or EB-3 Green Card for you, PERM requires DOL to certify that no qualified U.S. workers are available. For Development Manager roles, the job duties in the PERM application must match your actual day-to-day responsibilities exactly, so review the draft carefully before it is filed.
Use Migrate Mate to surface active sponsorship roles
Development Manager openings at banks are often posted and filled quickly. Use Migrate Mate to filter First Horizon Bank roles by visa type so you are applying to positions where sponsorship is already confirmed, rather than discovering the limitation after multiple interview rounds.
Account for H-1B cap timing in your application strategy
The H-1B annual cap registration window opens in March, with an October 1 start date if selected. If your OPT or current status expires before October, ask First Horizon's immigration team whether a cap-exempt filing or bridge status option is available to cover the gap.

Find Development Manager at First Horizon Bank JobsFrequently Asked Questions
Does First Horizon Bank sponsor H-1B visas for Development Managers?
Yes, First Horizon Bank sponsors H-1B visas for Development Manager roles. The company works with immigration counsel to file petitions for qualified candidates in technology and operations functions. Because H-1B sponsorship requires internal approval before an offer is extended, it is worth confirming during the late interview stages that the specific role has been cleared for sponsorship.
Which visa types does First Horizon Bank commonly use for Development Manager roles?
First Horizon Bank sponsors a range of visa categories for Development Manager positions, including H-1B, F-1 OPT and CPT, TN, J-1, and Green Card pathways such as EB-2 and EB-3. For early-career candidates on F-1 OPT, STEM OPT extensions can provide up to three years of work authorization, which gives the company time to file an H-1B petition on your behalf.
What qualifications does First Horizon Bank expect for Development Manager candidates?
First Horizon Bank generally looks for Development Managers with a bachelor's degree in computer science, engineering, or a related field, plus several years of experience leading development teams in a financial services or similarly regulated environment. Familiarity with Agile delivery, core banking systems, and cloud infrastructure is common across active postings, and experience with compliance or audit-ready software development processes is a meaningful differentiator.
How do I apply for Development Manager jobs at First Horizon Bank?
You can find and apply for Development Manager roles at First Horizon Bank through Migrate Mate, which surfaces positions where visa sponsorship is confirmed so you are not applying blind. Once you identify a relevant opening, submit your application through First Horizon's careers portal with a resume that highlights regulated-environment development experience and team leadership scope, since those are the qualifications the screening process prioritizes.
How do I plan my timeline if First Horizon Bank sponsors my H-1B?
If you are on F-1 OPT when First Horizon sponsors your H-1B, your employer must submit the registration during the March cap window for an October 1 start date. If your OPT expires before October, F-1 Cap-Gap protection may cover the interim period automatically, provided USCIS selects your registration and the petition is filed before your OPT end date. Confirm these dates with First Horizon's immigration team as early as possible.
