About the Role
We're looking for a Medical Licensing Specialist to own the end-to-end state licensing process for our provider population across all 50 states. You'll manage the full licensing lifecycle for Registered Nurses (RNs), Nurse Practitioners (NPs), MDs, and DOs, coordinating directly with state medical boards, providers, and internal teams to keep our clinicians compliant and practice-ready. The role requires knowledge in state-specific licensing requirements, a high degree of organizational precision, and a proactive approach to issue resolution.
This is a full-time, contract position at 40 hours/week, reporting into the VP, People.
Here's what you'll do:
- Manage initial state license applications for RNs, NPs, MDs, and DOs across all 50 states, owning each application from submission through approval
- Coordinate directly with providers to collect required documentation, including primary source verifications, CEU records, and background checks
- Communicate with state medical and nursing boards to resolve application issues, answer inquiries, and expedite approvals where possible
- Maintain current, working knowledge of state-specific licensure requirements, processing timelines, and regulatory changes
- Use Verifiable to manage provider profiles, track license statuses, and generate compliance reporting for internal stakeholders
- Ensure all licensing data is accurately entered and maintained in the credentialing system of record
- Proactively flag and escalate issues to prevent delays in provider readiness, managing an active queue of 60+ licenses at any given time
About You
You are a detail-oriented and process-driven operator who takes ownership of complex, high-volume workflows. You know your way around state medical board requirements and thrive in an environment where precision and follow-through are non-negotiable. You can manage a queue of active applications, prioritize effectively, and communicate clearly with providers, boards, and internal teams alike. You are comfortable navigating ambiguity, adapting quickly when requirements shift, and escalating the right things at the right time.
We would love to hear from you if you have the following or equivalent experience:
- Minimum of 2 years of experience in healthcare licensing, credentialing, or a closely related field
- Hands-on experience processing state licenses for RNs, NPs, MDs, and/or DOs
- Familiarity with multi-state licensing requirements and the Interstate Medical Licensure Compact (IMLC)
- Strong organizational skills with a demonstrated ability to manage a high volume of concurrent applications
- Exceptional attention to detail and consistent follow-through on deadline-driven tasks
- Experience with Verifiable (highly preferred) or comparable credentialing platforms
- Experience in a telehealth, virtual care, or multi-state provider organization (preferred)
Compensation: $25/hour

Contract Specialist Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a contract specialist in Arizona?
Most contract specialist roles in Arizona require a bachelor's degree in business administration, supply chain management, or a related field, along with relevant work experience in procurement or contract administration. Federal and defense positions often require familiarity with the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Professional credentials such as the Certified Professional Contracts Manager, offered through the National Contract Management Association, are widely recognized by Arizona employers and can strengthen your candidacy significantly.
Which companies hire contract specialists in Arizona?
Employers hiring contract specialists in Arizona right now include MTSI, TSMC, and Nuvei, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Arizona's large defense, aerospace, healthcare, and construction sectors mean demand is spread across both private industry and organizations that hold significant government contracts.
Which Arizona cities have the most contract specialist jobs?
Phoenix, Tucson, and Miami have the most contract specialist openings in Arizona. Phoenix drives the majority of demand as the state's commercial and government contracting hub, home to major defense primes and hospital systems, while Tucson's concentration of military installations and aerospace firms supports a consistent pipeline of federal acquisition and procurement roles.
Are there remote contract specialist jobs in Arizona?
Yes, and more than most fields. Contract specialist work is largely desk-based, involving document review, negotiation, and compliance analysis, which makes it well suited to remote arrangements. About 63% of contract specialist openings tied to Arizona are remote or hybrid as of November 2026, reflecting how broadly this role has shifted away from on-site requirements. Contract drafting, vendor management, and compliance review are the functions most commonly performed fully remotely.
How can I get hired as a contract specialist in Arizona with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a contract administrator or procurement coordinator role, which Arizona employers such as Banner Health, Raytheon, and state government agencies regularly post as junior positions requiring a degree but minimal experience. Lateral moves from roles like paralegal, purchasing agent, or project coordinator are common and recognized by Arizona hiring managers. Earning a student membership and entry-level credential through the National Contract Management Association, which has an active Arizona chapter, gives candidates a concrete credential that compensates for limited work history.
Where can I find and apply to contract specialist jobs in Arizona?
You can find and apply to contract specialist jobs in Arizona on Migrate Mate, which lists current Arizona openings across industries including defense, healthcare, construction, and state government. Find roles that fit your experience and specialization and apply directly to each position.
