We’re looking for a detail-driven Licensing Specialist to support the opening, transfer, and sale of TLE centers across the country. In this role, you’ll lead the full licensing process—managing applications, coordinating inspections, and partnering with cross-functional teams to ensure each center meets state and federal requirements. If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love structure, and enjoy working with state agencies, this role puts you at the heart of how new TLE locations come to life.

Manage and submit licensing applications for new centers, transfers, and sales
Ensure full compliance with state and federal childcare licensing regulations
Coordinate inspections and site visits with NCO Managers and state agencies
Track center progress from construction through opening to ensure deadlines are met
Serve as the primary point of contact with state and local licensing authorities
Provide training and technical guidance to franchise owners and internal teams
Participate in cross-department meetings to keep licensing workflows aligned
Travel 30% to support on-site inspections when needed
What You Bring
2+ years of experience with government licensing agencies (preferred)
Strong communication skills—written, verbal, and public-facing
Proven ability to juggle multiple deadlines and projects
High proficiency in MS Office and Excel
Sound judgment, independent decision-making, and a strong ownership mindset
Ability to build positive relationships across departments and agencies
Flexibility to shift priorities and manage fast-moving workflows
Interest or familiarity with basic legal concepts related to business entities
Why You’ll Love Joining TLE
A collaborative, mission-driven team
Direct impact on center openings and national expansion
Growth, learning, and visibility across multiple departments
