Evive Brands | Full-time | Reports to Chief Growth Officer
Imagine using your marketing talent to help people become business owners.
At Evive Brands, we're looking for a creative, results-driven marketer with one clear mission: attract more qualified prospective franchise owners to our portfolio of brands than ever before.
You'll create compelling marketing that makes aspiring entrepreneurs stop, take notice, and explore business ownership. You'll also uncover new ways to reach them, from LinkedIn and social media to web campaigns, email, outbound calling programs, and channels we haven't tried yet.
This is a role for someone who thinks strategically, loves creating, and takes ownership of execution. You won't simply maintain existing programs. You'll bring new ideas, test them, build on what works, and see the impact in our franchise development pipeline.
What you'll own
- Create persuasive messaging, content, creative assets, websites, campaigns, and franchise opportunity materials for an assigned portfolio of Evive brands.
- Find and test new ways to reach qualified franchise candidates across LinkedIn, social, search, digital advertising, email, outbound calling, portals, PR, and partnerships.
- Develop marketing plans and personally execute priority initiatives while coordinating work across internal teams.
- Select, brief, and manage outside partners, including agencies, content creators, LinkedIn ghostwriters, and lead generation vendors; hold them accountable for deliverables and results.
- Work closely with franchise development sales to improve candidate quality, nurturing, re-engagement, and conversion.
- Use performance data, ROI, and AI tools such as ChatGPT and Claude to improve creative, efficiency, and outcomes.
What success looks like
More qualified people discovering and engaging with our franchise opportunities; a stronger pipeline for franchise development sales; new channels that prove effective; better creative and campaign performance; and outside partners delivering measurable value.
You may be a great fit if...
- You have a track record of creating marketing that generates qualified prospects and measurable growth.
- You are both an imaginative marketer and a practical, hands-on operator.
- You are curious about emerging channels and comfortable experimenting, measuring, and adjusting.
- You can lead agencies and specialists without outsourcing accountability.
- You bring strong digital marketing, content, analytics, and cross-functional communication skills.
- Franchise brand marketing experience
Five or more years in lead generation, digital marketing, or growth marketing is preferred. Franchise development marketing experience is preferred. A related degree is preferred, but demonstrated results matter most.
How we'll help you succeed
Your first 30 days will focus on learning our brands, people, systems, and current programs. During days 31–60, you'll begin creating and testing ideas alongside the team. By days 61–90, you'll take increasing ownership of campaigns, partners, and a measurable growth plan. We'll align on milestones, provide feedback, and support you as you build momentum.

Tips for Your Franchise Development Manager Job Search
Quantify franchise growth you have driven
Hiring managers want to see deal counts, territory numbers, and ramp timelines, not just titles. Pull specific outcomes from past roles, such as franchises opened, pipeline conversion rates, or territories added, and lead with those in your resume summary.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists franchise development manager openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Tailor applications to the franchise model
A single-brand franchisor and a franchise development group representing multiple brands look for different things. Read the job description for clues about their sales cycle and franchisee profile, then mirror that language in your cover letter and resume.
Prepare a territory analysis for interviews
Many franchise development interviews include a live market exercise where you assess whitespace or rank candidate territories. Refresh your ability to read demographic data and unit economics before you walk in, so you can work through it confidently out loud.
Negotiate on variable comp structure, not just base
Franchise development roles often weight bonuses heavily toward executed agreements, not just signed letters of intent. Before accepting an offer, clarify exactly which milestones trigger payouts and whether partial credit applies if a deal falls through after disclosure.
Follow up with a territory insight after final rounds
After a final-round interview, send a brief note that includes one specific observation about an underserved market in their current territory map. It signals genuine commercial thinking and keeps you top of mind while they deliberate.
Franchise Development Manager Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most franchise development managers?
Threshold Brands, EWC Corporate, and CRDN are hiring the most franchise development managers right now, with openings concentrated in Texas, Ohio, and California, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Activity tends to cluster around brands in active expansion phases, so openings shift frequently.
How many franchise development manager jobs are remote?
About 69% of franchise development manager openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, with pipeline management and candidate outreach roles most likely to offer location flexibility. Roles that involve in-person territory visits, discovery days, or franchisee site selection typically require a home base in a target region.
How do you become a franchise development manager?
Most franchise development managers move into the role from franchise sales, business development, or multi-unit operations backgrounds. Building familiarity with franchise disclosure requirements, unit economics, and territory analysis is essential. Many candidates also pursue the Certified Franchise Executive credential through the International Franchise Association to signal specialized expertise to hiring teams.
Can you get hired as a franchise development manager without direct franchise experience?
Yes, candidates with strong B2B sales or commercial real estate backgrounds are regularly hired into franchise development roles, particularly at brands building out their development teams for the first time. Demonstrating that you understand deal cycles, can qualify buyers on financial requirements, and can read market data for territory planning offsets the lack of direct franchise-specific history.
What does the franchise development manager interview process look like?
The process typically starts with a recruiter or HR screen, followed by a hiring manager conversation focused on your sales methodology and past deal outcomes. Later rounds often include a territory analysis exercise or a mock franchisee discovery call with senior leadership. Final stages frequently involve a presentation of a hypothetical expansion strategy for a target market the brand has not yet entered.
Where can I find and apply to franchise development manager jobs?
You can find and apply to franchise development manager jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States in one place. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level and industry focus, then apply directly to each one that fits.
