One mission. Three divisions. Build it with us.
Endeavor exists to serve. Across our Home Care, DDD Services, and Hospice divisions, our teams show up for people during the hardest seasons of their lives. The families who trust us are counting on the people we hire, train, and support.
We are looking for an experienced HR leader to guide our HR function across all three divisions. Sound policies, clear documentation, and consistent practices are not paperwork to us. They are how we make sure nothing gets in the way of serving.
This is a senior role with real influence over how Endeavor grows. You will work in close partnership with our executive team and division leaders, and lead a small HR team that includes our HR Manager and HR Admin Assistant.
We've worked hard on our culture, and we care as much about how something gets built as whether it gets built. The right person brings real expertise and adapts it to who we are rather than arriving with a template.
What you'll do
- Protect the mission. Keep our policies, employee agreements, and documentation sound across all three divisions so that regulatory or legal trouble never becomes the reason we can't serve. You'll be our go-to resource on employment law questions.
- Bring clarity to our people. Maintain our employee handbook and build out policies where we have gaps, so every team member knows where they stand and is treated consistently no matter which division they serve in.
- Grow our people. Support our quarterly leadership meetings and annual kickoff, help what we learn there reach the front line, and create an optional Individual Development Plan program for team members who want to invest in their own growth.
- Keep operations steady. Guide the HR team and help our everyday processes run smoothly, from onboarding through performance reviews and leave management.
- Live our values. Service, Love, Integrity, and Growth show up in how we hire, onboard, and recognize people.
- Partner with leadership. Serve as a trusted advisor on workforce planning and organizational questions, and flag things early when you see them coming.
What we're looking for
- Five to seven years of HR leadership experience at the director level
- Strong foundation in employment law, HR compliance, and risk management
- Experience supporting HR across multiple locations or divisions
- Working knowledge of Arizona and federal employment law
- Experience building policies, handbooks, and development programs from the ground up
- SHRM-SCP or SPHR certification preferred
- Background in home care, developmental disability services, hospice, or healthcare is a significant plus
- Someone who builds trust easily with leaders and employees alike, and who is drawn to work that exists to serve others
Why Endeavor
We're a growing organization built around four values: Service, Love, Integrity, and Growth. Our caregivers and staff do meaningful, demanding work, and we take seriously our responsibility to support them well. If you want a role where HR is treated as central to the mission rather than administrative overhead, this is one.
Benefits include:
- Medical, Dental, Vision
- Generous PTO and paid holidays
- 401(k) retirement plan and company match
- Weekly pay

Endeavor is an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, disability, or protected veteran status.

Risk Management Specialist Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a risk management specialist in Arizona?
Most Arizona employers require a bachelor's degree in risk management, business, finance, or a related field as the baseline for this role. Arizona does not issue a state license specific to risk management specialists, but professional certifications carry real weight in local hiring: the Associate in Risk Management (ARM), the RIMS Certified Risk Management Professional (RIMS-CRMP), and the Certified Risk Manager (CRM) are the credentials most consistently referenced in Arizona job postings. Building experience in insurance, compliance, or financial analysis first is the most direct path in.
How much do risk management specialists make in Arizona?
Risk management specialists in Arizona earn a median of about $102,800 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $57,400 for the lowest 10% to over $165,880 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire risk management specialists in Arizona?
Employers hiring risk management specialists in Arizona right now include Pima County, JPMorganChase, and Northern Trust, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of October 2026. Arizona's concentration of large insurance carriers, healthcare systems, and defense contractors means demand for risk specialists is spread across multiple industries rather than concentrated in a single sector.
Which Arizona cities have the most risk management specialist jobs?
Tucson, Tempe, and Phoenix account for the largest share of risk management specialist openings in Arizona. Phoenix dominates due to its dense concentration of corporate headquarters, regional financial institutions, and major healthcare systems, while Scottsdale draws risk roles tied to insurance carriers and financial services firms, and Tempe's proximity to Arizona State University and mid-market employers supports a steady pipeline of analyst-level positions.
Are there remote risk management specialist jobs in Arizona?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 10% of risk management specialist openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of October 2026, reflecting the desk-based, analytical nature of most risk work. Enterprise risk management, compliance monitoring, and risk reporting roles are the most likely to offer fully remote arrangements, while loss control and on-site audit functions typically require in-person presence.
How can I get hired as a risk management specialist in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a lateral move from an adjacent role such as insurance underwriting, compliance analyst, internal audit, or financial analyst, where you build risk assessment skills before stepping into a dedicated risk title. Large Arizona employers like Banner Health and Honeywell run rotational or associate programs that place early-career candidates into risk and compliance functions. Earning the Associate in Risk Management (ARM) credential before or during your job search signals commitment and gives Arizona hiring managers a concrete reason to consider a candidate without direct risk management experience.
Where can I find and apply to risk management specialist jobs in Arizona?
You can find and apply to risk management specialist jobs in Arizona on Migrate Mate, which lists current Arizona openings updated regularly. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience level and specialization, then apply directly to the ones that fit. No profile creation or sign-up is required to view and apply to the openings listed.
