About the Team

The Licensing Research Team is a newly-formed team that will be responsible for identifying, documenting, and interpreting the licensing requirements that apply to service professionals across the United States—at the state, county, and city levels. The team will play a foundational role in our platform’s operations, helping to ensure that only skilled service providers are performing work through our platform.

What you’ll do:

As the Licensing Research Team Lead, you’ll conduct deep regulatory research to uncover licensing requirements for various home service trades across states, counties, and cities. At the same time, you’ll help lead the day-to-day work of a small team—offering guidance, reviewing output, answering questions, and helping to refine our research process. This is a hands-on role for someone who loves digging into complexity, thinking critically, and supporting others in doing the same.

Responsibilities

• Develop a deep understanding of our task taxonomy and the broader Angi ecosystem, and map licensing requirements to specific services offered on the platform.
• Conduct licensing research across federal, state, and local jurisdictions for a wide variety of home service tasks.
• Interpret statutes, administrative codes, and government websites to determine what licenses are required, by whom, and under what conditions.
• Make clear, defensible decisions when information is ambiguous or conflicting, and document reasoning in a structured format.
• Reach out to government agencies or trade experts as needed to verify unclear information.

Team Guidance

• Serve as the go-to resource for other researchers when they hit roadblocks or need clarification.
• Review research outputs for accuracy, completeness, and clarity.
• Help onboard and train new researchers in tools, methods, and decision frameworks.
• Share best practices, refine templates, and suggest improvements to the research process.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of experience in legal research, compliance, regulatory affairs, or public policy—ideally in a regulated or service-driven industry.
• Excellent analytical skills and the ability to make sound judgment calls when information is incomplete or conflicting.
• Comfortable interpreting ambiguous regulations and making structured, defensible decisions when requirements are unclear.
• Clear communicator—able to explain both findings and reasoning in plain language.
• Experience mentoring peers, onboarding team members, or reviewing others' work is a strong plus.
• Comfortable working in a startup or fast-moving environment where priorities shift.
• Bonus: Familiarity with home services trades, licensing, or permitting processes.

We know that the best ideas come from teams where diverse points of view uncover new solutions to hard problems. We welcome and value individuals who bring diverse life experiences, educational backgrounds, cultures, and work experiences.

• The salary band for this position ranges from $65-$95K base, commensurate with experience and performance. Compensation may vary based on factors such as cost of living.
• This position will be eligible for a competitive year end performance bonus & equity package
• Full medical, dental, vision package to fit your needs
• Flexible vacation policy; work hard and take time when you need it
• Pet discount plans & retirement plan with company match (401K)
• The rare opportunity to work with sharp, motivated teammates solving some of the most unique challenges and changing the world
