Join the Tilt team

The Opportunity: Licensing Specialist (Contractor)

Tilt is hiring a Licensing Specialist to help build and sustain our state licensing operations. This is a contract engagement with a clear scope: execute a defined pipeline of state license applications, help stand up Tilt's in-house licensing function, and provide ongoing support for renewals and regulatory reporting on a flexible, part-time schedule. The work is administrative by design — and that's exactly the point. This role is built for someone who has already built a professional career and wants meaningful work that fits their life, not the other way around.

Contract Details

• Hours: ~30/week for the first ~8 weeks, then ~10–15/week ongoing (with natural fluctuation based on filing cycles)

• Duration: Indefinite

• Location: US (fully remote)

How You'll Make an Impact

• Drive the licensing application pipeline: Own the end-to-end coordination of a defined slate of state license applications — tracking deadlines, managing data collection, and keeping submissions complete and accurate across multiple jurisdictions.

• Keep existing licenses current: Coordinate updates and amendments to active licenses as business needs evolve — tracking state-specific requirements, gathering documentation, and ensuring filings stay accurate.

• Build the in-house licensing function: Help establish Tilt's internal licensing operations — building trackers, documenting workflows, and creating the institutional knowledge the team can rely on long-term.

• Write guidance non-specialists can actually follow: Develop clear, step-by-step instructions for key stakeholders on their licensing compliance obligations.

• Own ongoing renewals and reporting: After the initial sprint, maintain the annual renewal cycle and support regulatory reporting on the reduced-hours schedule — reliably.

Why You're a Great Fit

• Strong project coordination instincts — you take a list of requirements, identify what's missing, and drive to completion without being asked twice. Systems and checklists are your natural habitat.

• Clear written communication — you can write step-by-step instructions a non-specialist can follow without assumed context or background.

• Available for a variable schedule: roughly 30 hours/week for the first 8 weeks, transitioning to 10–15 hours/week ongoing, with natural fluctuation based on filing cycles.

• Background in operations, events coordination, project management, or any detail-intensive professional environment. Experience with government filings or permitting (any industry) is a genuine plus. No licensing or financial services background required.

• Proactive and self-directed — comfortable operating independently on well-scoped work, and equally comfortable surfacing issues or blockers when they arise.
