We're on a remarkable growth trajectory, and as Fresh Prints grows, you will too. For the right person, this role offers unlimited opportunity. You will be given the space and guidance to have a tremendous impact.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead the Licensing team, owning both daily operations and long-term improvements
• Oversee and improve core workflows, including trademark checks, design approvals, licensing portal submissions, and royalty reporting and tracking
• Manage relationships and communication with university and Greek licensors, and build the kind of long-term partnerships that open doors to new opportunities
• Identify and pursue new licensing opportunities, expanding our network of partner schools and organizations
• Drive key initiatives to modernize the function, including:

• Rolling out AI-powered tools for faster, more accurate licensing checks
• Automating and scaling RFP submissions to acquire new licenses
• Streamlining royalty report generation
• Publishing and maintaining up-to-date licensing guidelines and SOPs

• Collaborate closely with Tech, Product, Sales, and Design to get initiatives built and adopted
• Coach and support the team through strong documentation, clear SOPs, and direct feedback

Requirements

• At least 3+ years in operations, licensing, compliance, or similar roles
• At least 1+ years of experience managing a team
• Strong project management and workflow optimization skills
• Experience identifying inefficient processes and implementing automation or tools to streamline them
• Excellent written and verbal English communication skills
• Strong relationship-building skills, with a personable, professional style that resonates well with Licensing Directors and other US-based partners
• Familiarity with US university and Greek life culture, or a strong willingness to quickly get up to speed on it
• Analytical mindset with attention to detail
• Comfortable navigating multiple tools and systems (Gmail, Google Sheets, Airtable, etc.)
• Bonus if you've worked with licensing platforms (e.g., Affinity, DLH, BrandComply, etc.)

Personal Attributes

• Strategic operator: You can zoom out to see the bigger picture and improve how things work, while staying hands-on enough to get into the details when it matters
• Relationship-driven: You build trust easily and know how to turn a good conversation into a lasting partnership
• Ownership mindset: You don't wait for direction; you see what needs to change and drive it forward
• Calm under pressure: You can manage competing priorities and tight timelines without losing your cool
• Coach at heart: You genuinely enjoy developing people, and you lead with clear expectations and honest feedback
• Comfortable with ambiguity: You're energized, not intimidated, by building something that doesn't fully exist yet
