POSITION OVERVIEW

This role isn't for someone who waits for the phone to ring. The Director of Franchise Development owns the growth of their brand's national footprint — finding the next great franchise owners, building the broker relationships that keep leads flowing, and turning a strong story into a signed agreement. You'll report to the VP of Franchise Development and work hand-in-hand with your brand's leadership team to make sure the opportunity you're selling is one you believe in and can communicate with conviction.

Five Star candidates who thrive here treat every call as a chance to get sharper — they track their numbers, know exactly where they stand against goal, and use that data to improve the next conversation, not just report on the last one. They see a stalled deal or a quiet territory as a hill to charge, not a reason to wait it out.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

• Footprint growth. Drive the expansion of your brand's national footprint by identifying, targeting, and closing the right franchise candidates in your priority markets.
• Broker-driven pipeline. Build and actively manage relationships with franchise brokers and consultant networks — this is a primary lead engine, not a side channel, and it needs to be fed and nurtured continuously.
• Brand storytelling. Learn your brand inside and out and translate it into a vision candidates can see themselves stepping into — the opportunity, the market, the long-term upside.
• Full-cycle sales ownership. Guide candidates from first contact through discovery, due diligence, and contract negotiation to final signing, coordinating with legal and administrative teams along the way.
• Brand team collaboration. Work closely with your brand's marketing and executive teams to shape recruitment campaigns and represent the brand's long-term vision at Meet the Team Days, trade shows, and industry conferences.
• Metrics ownership. Track your lead flow and sales activity in HubSpot, know your numbers cold, and use them to sharpen your approach call over call.

Requirements:

WHO THRIVES IN THIS ROLE

• A hunter, not a harvester — energized by prospecting and outbound relationship-building, not just working inbound leads.
• Someone who charges the hill: sees a tough territory, a cold lead, or a stalled deal as a challenge to solve, not a reason to coast.
• A natural storyteller who can craft a compelling vision of the brand and the opportunity, and adjust the pitch to the person in front of them.
• Data-driven and self-critical in the best way — obsessed with knowing the metrics and getting a little better with every call.
• Coachable, hard-working, and ambitious — ready to buy into the proven processes we've built within the Five Star platform and do it the proven, Five Star Franchising way.
• 5+ years of proven franchise sales experience with a consultative selling approach — and a track record to back it up, including closing 20+ deals a year.
• Comfortable working cross-functionally with legal, marketing, and operations to keep deals moving to signature.
• Broker network experience with strong, established relationships preferred.
• Home service franchise sales experience preferred.
• HubSpot experience preferred; comfortable working within a CRM to manage lead flow and sales activity.
• Able to travel as needed to broker and industry conferences.

WHY JOIN US?

We offer a flexible, supportive work environment where you can make a meaningful impact on franchisees' success — and where hitting your number is celebrated, not assumed. This is an iron sharpens iron team: you'll get one-on-one coaching plus weekly group coaching to keep you sharp and pushing the team forward. Our benefits include:

• One-on-one coaching and weekly group coaching
• Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
• Long-Term and Short-Term Disability Insurance
• Supplemental Life Insurance
• 401(k)
• Generous Paid Time Off
