Licensing Manager Jobs in Utah (NOW HIRING)

About JKR Windows

JKR Windows is one of the fastest growing replacement window companies in the country. We were founded in 2018 and we are scaling fast across multiple states. We hire talent-dense teams, pay above market, and build systems that allow great people to do their best work. We are not a big slow corporate environment, and we are not a chaotic startup. We are a real company with real standards.

About the Role

The Senior Licensing & Compliance Manager is a high-trust, high-accountability seat responsible for owning every license, insurance policy, vehicle and equipment registration, OSHA and safety filing, data privacy requirement, and compliance obligation that allows JKR Windows to legally and safely operate across every market we serve. This person ensures nothing falls through the cracks, ever, and builds the systems to make that possible at scale.

If you are the kind of person who loses sleep when a renewal date is missed, who builds systems instead of waiting for someone to tell you what to do, and who actually enjoys getting deep into state-by-state requirements, this role will fit you.

• Maintain compliance records, audit trails, and documentation libraries
• Deliver weekly and monthly compliance reporting to senior leadership
• Actively manage risk mitigation across every regulatory and compliance domain

Growth Path

This role is the starting point of what will become a full Licensing and Compliance department at JKR Windows. The progression path includes Senior Manager, Director, Senior Director of Compliance and Risk, and Vice President of Compliance and Risk. As the company scales, the right person in this seat will have the opportunity to build a team, expand scope, and grow into executive leadership.

Culture & Expectations

At JKR Windows, we hire intentionally. We pay above market, invest heavily in our people, and provide the environment, tools, and resources for high performers to thrive. We expect that investment to be matched with consistent execution and a commitment to the standards of the role.

If, over time, the role is not the right long-term fit, we believe in moving quickly and respectfully rather than letting underperformance linger. When that decision is made by JKR, we honor the relationship with a generous severance designed to provide a stable transition into the next opportunity. We are direct about this up front because mutual respect for time, money, and energy is part of how we operate.

If you are looking for a comfortable seat where the bar is low, this is not the right role for you. If you are looking for a place that values your skill, pays you well for it, and gives you real ownership over your work, we want to hear from you.
