Are you ready to grow your career in one of the fastest-growing industries in the country? At Nirvana Cannabis, we're not just selling products-we're creating meaningful customer experiences, educating our community, and shaping the future of cannabis retail.

As a family-owned and operated company, we pride ourselves on fostering a welcoming, supportive, and inclusive environment for both our customers and our team. We celebrate individuality and the unique strengths each person brings, and we're committed to helping our staff build a strong foundation in the cannabis industry.

If you're ready to step into leadership, the Sales Shift Lead role is your opportunity to make an impact.

As a Sales Shift Lead, you'll help keep our dispensary running smoothly during your assigned shifts. You'll guide the sales team through busy days, ensure compliance with state and company regulations, and step in wherever needed to maintain efficient operations.

On a typical day, you might:

• Lead by example by actively supporting the sales floor during peak hours

• Handle cash management responsibilities, returns, and register closings with precision

• Experienced in cannabis retail leadership (1+ year preferred)

• Confident in guiding, training, and motivating team members

• Committed to delivering an outstanding customer experience every shift

This role isn't just about overseeing a shift-it's about building your leadership foundation. As a Sales Shift Lead, you'll gain hands-on experience in compliance, team development, and retail operations management. Many of our Leads, Managers, and Corporate team members began their journey in this very role.

At Nirvana Cannabis, your individuality is valued, and your ambition is supported. We provide training, mentorship, and advancement opportunities into higher leadership roles such as Lead Supervisor, Store Manager, and beyond.
