Manager, State Licensing

EVERSANA is hiring a full-time Manager, State Licensing to guide life sciences, pharmaceutical distribution, medical device, and healthcare clients through every stage of state regulatory licensing across the United States.

About the Role

As Manager, State Licensing at EVERSANA, you will own end-to-end licensing programs that keep clients continuously compliant with state regulations governing wholesale distribution, third-party logistics (3PL), pharmacy, manufacturer, and controlled substance operations. Working hand-in-hand with clients, state agencies, and internal teams, you'll translate complex requirements into actionable strategies, shepherd applications through approval, and resolve compliance challenges. Success in this role calls for sharp attention to detail, polished communication, and the ability to juggle many licensing workflows at once in a fast-moving setting.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver full-service licensing consultation: pinpoint required state licenses, assemble application packages, and manage submissions through to approval.
• Research and interpret state statutes covering pharmaceutical, device, wholesale, 3PL, and controlled substance licensing.
• Oversee the complete license lifecycle—applications, renewals, amendments, ownership and personnel updates, periodic reporting, and terminations.
• Act as the primary liaison with state regulatory agencies, building productive relationships that speed issue resolution.
• Track licensing timelines, flag risks early, and keep clients informed of required actions.
• Maintain precise records and documentation to ensure ongoing audit readiness and regulatory adherence.
• Partner with compliance, legal, and operational colleagues, and lend subject-matter expertise to sales scoping and proposal development.
• Mentor fellow regulatory associates and champion a culture of accountability, inclusion, and operational excellence.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in business, legal studies, public policy, a scientific discipline, or a related field preferred.
• At least 7 years in state licensing, regulatory compliance, or related fields such as pharmaceutical, medical device, healthcare, legal services, or corporate compliance.
• Hands-on experience preparing and filing state applications (wholesale distributor, 3PL, pharmacy, manufacturer, controlled substances).
• Strong ability to interpret state statutes, regulations, and agency guidance, paired with excellent written and verbal communication.
• Proven success managing high-volume, deadline-driven regulatory processes independently and accurately.
• Proficiency with tracking systems, databases, and document management tools, plus solid project management skills.
• Experience engaging regulatory agencies, including state boards and the FDA. Travel up to 10%; average 40+ hours per week.
