We are looking for friendly, knowledgeable, and customer-focused Lead Budtenders who are natural leaders who want to join our team and help us elevate the cannabis retail experience.

Why Bloom MT?

At Bloom MT, we don't just run dispensaries - we create exceptional customer experiences, through high-performing teams and industry leading operations. As a Lead Budtender, you'll be at the forefront of our mission, being a part of a talented team ensuring operational excellence, customer service, and compliance.

Lead Budtender duties and responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Provide a top-notch customer experience, offering recommendations based on customer needs
• Educate customers on cannabis strains, consumption methods, and responsible use
• Ensure compliance with all state and local cannabis regulations
• Manage inventory, stock shelves, and maintain a clean and organized store
• Process transactions securely using our cannabis POS system

• Customer-centric mindset to create an outstanding dispensary experience
• Adaptability and problem solving skills to thrive in Montana's evolving cannabis marketplace

This role operates within a dynamic retail environment and is designed to provide consistent leadership coverage in partnership with the Store Director. To support daily operations and ensure the store is effectively managed at all times, this position typically follows a schedule that complements and offsets the Store Director's working hours. The Store Director schedule is generally Tuesday-Saturday.

Because this is a retail-based role, evenings, weekends, and peak business hours are a regular and expected part of the schedule. Flexibility is essential, as business needs may require adjustments including extended shifts, coverage on scheduled days off, or schedule changes to support store operations, team coverage and compliance priorities.

Maintaining strong operational support for the Store Director and the broader team is a key component of this role, and scheduling will reflect the needs of the business.
