• Report regularly to leadership on approval status, timelines, and any risks to product launches

What You'll Bring

• A high school diploma or GED required; an associate's or bachelor's degree in business, marketing, or a related field preferred
• Exceptional attention to detail; you catch the small errors others miss
• Strong organization and the ability to manage many submissions and deadlines at once
• Clear, professional written and verbal communication, including with state regulators
• Comfort reading and applying regulations
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office or Google Workspace
• Ability to obtain and maintain a Connecticut DCP cannabis employee registration

• Experience with Connecticut DCP cannabis regulations and submission processes
• Background in a regulated consumer products industry (food, pharmaceutical, alcohol, or supplements)
• Familiarity with label design tools such as Adobe Illustrator or Canva
