Job summary

CANA Retail is seeking an Inventory Associate at our Norton, MA location to ensure precise product intake, tracking, audits and compliance across multi-location cannabis operations. You will maintain organization, execute daily inventory tasks, and support sales with accurate product information.

The role emphasizes structured, detail-driven work, reliability, and teamwork in a regulated cannabis environment. Evening/weekend availability may be required.

Qualifications

• 2+ years of inventory experience (cannabis preferred, but not required)
• Experience with POS & inventory tracking systems — Metrc or similar preferred
• Strong analytical skills & attention to detail — small errors have big consequences in cannabis compliance
• Ability to multitask & work efficiently in a fast-paced, regulated environment
• Proficiency with office software (Excel, Word, email, database management)
• Excellent communication & organizational skills

Responsibilities

• Own the organization and accuracy of all cannabis inventory — every gram, every unit matters.
• Receive and process all new product shipments — verify weights, labels, and compliance requirements.
• Manage inventory using the state seed-to-sale tracking system and CANA's internal POS system — spot discrepancies and resolve issues fast.
• Perform daily, weekly, and monthly audits — accuracy isn't optional in this role.
• Monitor stock levels — keep the sales floor supplied while avoiding overstock or shortages.
• Organize and maintain inventory in the vault — a well-run vault means a well-run store.
• Document and properly dispose of waste and quarantine items, following strict regulatory guidelines.
• Keep detailed, up-to-date records for compliance, reporting, and audit purposes.
• Ensure compliance at every step — inventory accuracy is non-negotiable in the cannabis industry.
• Follow and enforce all legal regulations and company policies regarding cannabis inventory.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and secure vault — everything should always be in order and ready for inspection.
• Work closely with management to uphold all inventory-related compliance standards.
• Communicate inventory needs and discrepancies — if something is off, report it immediately.
• Support the sales team by ensuring all product information is accurate and up to date.
• Keep menus updated (Dutchie, Leafly, in-store displays) to reflect current stock.
• Train new team members on inventory procedures and compliance.
• Step in wherever needed — at CANA, teamwork is essential to keeping operations running smoothly.
