Licensing Specialist (Contract)
Join the Tilt team At Tilt, we see a side of people that traditional lenders miss. Our mobile-first products and machine learning-powered credit models look beyond credit scores, using over 250 real-time financial signals to recognize real potential. With millions of customers worldwide, we're not just changing how people access financial products — we're creating a new credit system that backs the working, whatever they're working toward. The Role The scope is specific: file 35 new state license applications, support the onboarding of two new control people, and help us transition license management from an external platform to an in-house system. The first eight weeks are intensive — roughly 30 hours/week — with a clear deliverable and a defined finish line. After that, the role continues at around 10 hours/week: ongoing support for renewals and regulatory reporting on a schedule that genuinely flexes around your life. This role doesn't require a compliance background. It requires someone who is exceptionally organized, reliable, and finds real satisfaction in doing detailed administrative work well.
What You'll Do
Own the license application sprint. Manage end-to-end submission of 35 new state license applications — tracking deadlines, coordinating data requests, and ensuring every filing is complete and accurate across jurisdictions. Support control person onboarding. Coordinate the addition of two new control people to existing licenses, navigating each state's specific requirements with care and precision. Drive the in-house transition. Help move license management off the external platform and into our internal system — documenting processes as you go so the function is self-sustaining when you're done. Manage ongoing renewals. After the initial sprint wraps, provide steady part-time support for annual license renewals and regulatory reporting obligations. Write clear process documentation. Create step-by-step instructions for board members on their licensing obligations — written for non-specialists, not lawyers.
What We're Looking For
Exceptional project coordination: able to manage 35+ concurrent workstreams, track deadlines across jurisdictions, and close information gaps without being chased. Strong written communication — specifically the ability to write instructions a non-specialist can follow without hand-holding. Comfort with a variable workload. Hours range from 4–20/week depending on filing cycles; you don't need constant volume to stay on top of things. Background in detail-heavy operational work — events coordination, government filings, permitting, legal ops, or similar environments translates directly. A self-starter who can operate independently, recognize when to escalate, and doesn't need a pre-built process to get started. No prior licensing or compliance experience required.
