We’re looking for professionals who take pride in their work, move with purpose, and thrive in fast‑changing environments. The kind of people who hold themselves to high standards, think creatively, and find satisfaction in solving hard problems.

When you join our team, you’ll work alongside some of the most experienced leaders in the industry — professionals who share their knowledge freely and lead by example. You’ll be challenged, supported, and trusted to take ownership of meaningful work that shapes the future of one of the fastest‑growing industries in America.

This is a dynamic leadership position for someone who thrives in fast‑paced, high‑volume retail environments and wants to be part of an organization setting the standard for professionalism and performance in the cannabis industry.

What You’ll Do

• Lead daily operations and ensure store readiness through compliance, cleanliness, and team execution.
• Manage and reconcile all cash operations (vault, registers, pickups, EOD reports).
• Oversee end‑to‑end inventory control including receiving, audits, adjustments, and vendor returns.
• Coach and develop employees to deliver best‑in‑class service and meet sales goals.
• Execute promotions, merchandising plans, and online/kiosk order management.
• Partner with corporate departments on procurement, HR, and marketing initiatives.
• Handle escalated customer concerns and ensure positive resolutions.
• Maintain schedule flexibility, reliability, and professional leadership standards.

Who You Are

You are an adaptable, accountable, and competitive professional with a strong work ethic. You hold yourself and your team to the highest standards, embrace technology to improve efficiency, and take pride in maintaining a safe, compliant, and customer‑focused store.

Why Join Us

We believe in meritocracy, dependability, and commitment to excellence. This is an opportunity to grow with a company that rewards performance, values innovation, and builds future industry leaders.
