What are the responsibilities and job description for the Licensing Manager position at LHH?
This is a highly visible role responsible for leading licensing operations, managing regulatory requirements, improving internal processes, and partnering across the business to support compliant operations.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys the details of licensing and compliance but also wants to operate at a more strategic level, building structure, improving workflows, identifying risk, and helping the business scale effectively.
This is a contract position with the possibility of becoming a permanent hire.
What You’ll Do
- Lead day-to-day licensing operations and related compliance processes.
- Manage license applications, renewals, filings, tracking, documentation, and deadlines.
- Partner closely with Legal, Compliance, Operations, and business stakeholders.
- Serve as a licensing subject matter resource for internal teams.
- Communicate with regulatory agencies and licensing bodies as needed.
- Identify process gaps and implement workflow improvements.
- Create visibility around licensing status, risks, deadlines, and business impact.
- Support operational readiness for business growth, expansion, or new service lines.
- Help build a scalable licensing function that supports long-term compliance and efficiency.
Ideal Background
- Experience in licensing, regulatory compliance, credentialing, permits, or similar operational compliance functions.
- Prior experience managing multi-state or high-volume licensing requirements preferred.
- Strong understanding of how licensing impacts business operations.
- Experience partnering with Legal, Compliance, Operations, or leadership teams.
- Highly organized with strong deadline management skills.
- Process improvement mindset with the ability to create structure and efficiencies.
- Strong communication skills and ability to manage cross-functional stakeholders.
- Comfortable working in a role that is both hands-on and strategic.
Why This Role Stands Out
- Reports into the Legal and Compliance function.
- Strategic visibility across the business.
- Opportunity to build and improve licensing processes.
- Strong cross-functional partnership with legal, compliance, operations, and leadership.
- Ideal for someone who wants to own a licensing function and make a measurable business impact.
If you have experience managing licensing, regulatory filings, renewals, or compliance operations and are looking for a role with more ownership and strategic impact, this could be a strong next step.
