Licensing Manager Jobs in California

DESCRIPTION

Ring is looking for a Licensing Manager with experience to serve as qualifier for private protection services in all 50 states. In this role, your mission is simple but critical: secure the licenses that allow Ring to operate in new states.

This is an execution-focused role perfect for someone who thrives on completing tasks, meeting deadlines, and seeing tangible results. You need attention to detail, the ability to navigate bureaucracy, and the determination to push applications through state agencies that move at their own pace.

This is a full-time role that requires meeting state-specific qualifications to serve as a license holder. You will work with an experienced team who will guide you through Ring's processes while giving you ownership over your assigned states.

Key job responsibilities

• Prepare and submit complete license applications to state regulatory agencies, tracking each through approval and responding to requests for additional information
• Research and master state-specific licensing requirements including application forms, background checks, fingerprints, testing, continuing education, and fees
• Coordinate background checks, fingerprinting appointments, and testing requirements to ensure all components are completed on schedule
• Maintain detailed tracking records of application status, agency response timelines, and required follow-up actions
• Document successful processes and common pitfalls to build a comprehensive licensing playbook that scales Ring's operations

A day in the life

You'll manage license applications across multiple states—checking statuses, responding to agency requests, and researching requirements. You'll coordinate background checks and fingerprinting while maintaining detailed tracking records. Some days you'll build checklists from state regulations, other days you'll assemble application packages or follow up on approvals. You'll collaborate with internal teams, updating stakeholders and sharing insights.

About the team

You'll join Ring's Licensing and Compliance team, a group dedicated to enabling Ring's expansion into new markets through regulatory excellence. The team manages licensing requirements across multiple states and works closely with legal, operations, and business development partners. We value execution, attention to detail, and the ability to navigate complex regulatory environments. You'll work remotely with an experienced team that provides guidance while giving you ownership over your assigned states. We're building the foundation that allows Ring to serve customers nationwide.
