• Monitor delivery performance and look for ways to make our routes faster, safer, and more cost effective.

• Be the go-to person for drivers in the field and for dispensary partners on delivery questions.

What We're Looking For

• 3+ years in route planning, dispatch, logistics, or fleet/driver management.
• Experience managing a team of drivers or frontline field staff.

• Comfort with route optimization/fleet software and delivery performance data.
• A valid Ohio driver's license and clean driving record.

• Cannabis or other regulated-industry (food & beverage, pharma, distribution) experience is a plus.

• Must be 21+ and able to pass a background check and obtain Ohio Division of Cannabis Control employee registration.
