• Simplify complex cannabis topics (concentrates types, flower quality, strains) science (terpenes, cannabinoids, solventless extraction, etc.) into digestible, engaging education for new consumers.
Brand Representation
• Maintain familiarity with all product lines, strain profiles, and manufacturing methods.
• Ensure all brand assets (signage, merchandise, displays) are in working shape and can be professionally displayed at pop-ups in stores
• Capture event metrics, feedback, and photo documentation to share with the marketing and sales teams.
Qualifications

cannabis enthusiasts with depth of knowledge about the plant and these types are encouraged even if you do not have formal industry experience
• Strong knowledge of cannabis flower, concentrates, consumption methods, and consumer behavior.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills — able to connect with everyone from first-time consumers to connoisseurs.
