Franchise Development Manager

A Place At Home empowers individuals with an entrepreneurial spirit to achieve the freedom and fulfillment of business ownership — built around a mission that matters. As a franchised home care brand of Dovida, a leading global provider of in-home care, we support franchisees with proven expertise in sales strategy, marketing, staffing, and operations. Our "We are CARE" philosophy — Compassionate, Accountable, Respectful, and Ethical — guides everything we do.

We are growing, and we're looking for the right person to help us grow with intention.

The Franchise Development Manager owns the candidate journey from first conversation to franchise award. You will qualify prospective franchisees, guide them through our Discovery Process, and ensure every candidate who moves forward is financially ready, operationally aligned, and genuinely excited about the mission.

This role requires someone who is consultative and disciplined — someone who can build trust quickly, present with confidence, and manage a pipeline without letting deals stall. You will report directly to the Director of Franchise Development and play a key role in shaping the future of our franchise network.
