# Principal Product Manager, Compliance & Licensing > Bizee · Austin, United States · Full-time · Posted 2026-08-21 **Workplace:** on_site **Department:** Product ## Description ### About Bizee Bizee (formerly Incfile) has helped nearly two million entrepreneurs start and run their businesses. Now we're building what comes next: an AI-powered Entrepreneur Operating System that helps founders launch, operate, stay compliant, and grow with less friction and more confidence. We're profitable, founder-led, and operating at a clear inflection point. ### The Opportunity The U.S. licensing landscape is a fragmented mix of federal, state, county, city, and special-district requirements each with different rules, agencies, forms, fees, and renewal cycles. Multiply that by hundreds of industries and the research universe becomes extremely complex. Historically, solving this meant large research operations reading government sources by hand, and even then the customer got little more than an instruction set. Bizee already sells business-license research through our formation funnel, with strong existing demand. Distribution demand is also emerging through our partner ecosystem and Bizee Pro. The ambition is not a better report. It's an always-on compliance platform that understands what a business does, determines what it needs to stay licensed, helps complete the work, monitors what changes, and keeps the business compliant over time. ### The Role This is an internal-founder role, not a coordinator role. You serve as the single-threaded owner combining the responsibilities of a senior Product Lead and GM. Reporting through Product with a business-wide mandate, you own the initiative end-to-end including customer experience, technology, and economics. You are also accountable for outcomes across Product, Engineering, AI/Data, Compliance, Operations, Partnerships, and Finance. Your first mission: prove or disprove the thesis in 90 days. You'll lead a small, senior, cross-functional pod to answer four questions with evidence: - Can we get the answer right? Build an evaluation framework that determines whether the AI/ML system identifies the complete and correct license and permit set for a business measured across states, counties, cities, industries, and complexity levels. - Can the system know when it might be wrong? Establish the operating loop: AI extraction → ML classification and confidence → deterministic rules → human review → labeled feedback → continuous improvement. Full autonomy is not the initial goal; calibrated confidence is. - Do the economics work? Own the build-versus-buy and unit-economic model, from cost per AI research run and human-review rates to filing, renewal, and recurring-subscription economics. - What business are we building? Validate demand across four distribution surfaces including Bizee.com, Bizee Pro, Partner APIs, and agent-ready workflows  and turn the evidence into a product, pricing, packaging, and sequencing recommendation. At the end of 90 days, your scope expands your scope to scaling the business, with a path toward GM, Compliance. ### What You'll Own - The business case end to end: customer discovery, market opportunity, product strategy, pricing and packaging, unit economics, build-versus-buy, distribution strategy, and the Phase 0 investment case - The design of a conversational discovery experience that captures the business context required for an accurate compliance determination - The strategy for turning Bizee's archive of historical license orders and completed reports into a labeled evaluation set, training data, and the seed of a compliance graph (in partnership with Legal, Data, and Compliance) - The regulatory operating model which includes accuracy thresholds, liability framework, human-review requirements - The Phase 0 pod: a small, senior, cross-functional team whose combined output you're accountable for. ## Requirements ### What We're Looking For We're looking for a builder and business owner, not a coordinator. You likely have experience building or scaling a zero-to-one product, business, regulated workflow, fintech product, legaltech product, vertical SaaS platform, or similarly complex operating system. More important than any specific background, you demonstrate: - End-to-end ownership. You naturally take responsibility for the outcome, not just your functional piece of it. - Zero-to-one judgment. You know how to turn ambiguity into hypotheses, experiments, evidence, decisions, and products. - Commercial instincts. You understand customers, pricing, packaging, unit economics, distribution, and P&L. - AI fluency. You're comfortable discussing evaluation, precision and recall, confidence thresholds, feedback loops, labeled data, human-in-the-loop systems, and model economics. You understand AI product leadership is much more than prompt writing. - Analytical depth. You know how to establish baselines, design experiments, challenge assumptions, and make decisions from imperfect evidence. - Operational rigor. You can turn a model into a reliable operating system involving software, data, humans, customers, and regulatory controls. - Comfort with regulated complexity. You don't simplify away the edge cases that determine whether a compliance product can actually be trusted. - Bias for action. You'd rather test the hardest assumption quickly than spend months creating a perfect strategy deck. - High standards and low ego. You challenge assumptions, change your mind when the evidence changes, and care more about getting the answer right than being right. ### What Will Make You Stand Out - You've taken a product from zero to one in a regulated category (compliance, licensing, legaltech, fintech, tax, insurance) - You've built or operated a human-in-the-loop AI system in production  and can talk about its confidence calibration and economics - You've owned a P&L or run a business unit, not just a roadmap - Direct compliance or licensing domain experience (ideal, but not required) ### What We Don't Necessarily Care About - Prestigious company names on your resume - Formal MBA or CS degrees (results matter more) - Years of experience (show us your impact and velocity) - Polished corporate personas (we want authentic, high-output operators) ## Benefits - Health Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision) - Life Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D) - Virtual Wellness Resources - Work From Home Bizee is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
