• Coordinate with vendors and purchasing teams to maintain appropriate stock levels, product variety, and compliant supply.
• Review and maintain all required product testing results and compliance documentation.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with cultivators and vendors.
• Prepare and analyze inventory reports to support sales trends, prevent stockouts, and optimize inventory turnover.
• Collaborate with dispensary leadership, marketing, and sales teams to identify promotions and movement strategies for slow-moving products.
