About Lifted Farms

Lifted Farms is one of California's leading cultivators of premium OCAL certified fresh frozen cannabis, specializing in producing high-quality flower for solventless extraction. We believe exceptional cultivation begins with exceptional people, and we're building a company designed for long-term success.

We're a fast-growing business that values ownership, integrity, continuous improvement, and teamwork. While the work can be demanding, we pride ourselves on maintaining a collaborative, low-ego culture where great people enjoy coming to work every day.

As we continue to grow, we're looking for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment and enjoys helping a business grow and operate more efficiently.

About the Role

Lifted Farms is seeking an organized, proactive, and highly capable Executive Operations Coordinator to serve as a trusted partner to our executive team.

Reporting directly to the CFO and COO, you'll play a central role in helping the business operate efficiently by coordinating projects, managing administrative processes, supporting sales and operations, facilitating communication across departments, and ensuring important initiatives stay on track.

This is not a traditional administrative position. We're looking for someone who enjoys solving problems, anticipating needs, following through relentlessly, and helping free up executives for strategic priorities.

No two days are the same. One morning you might coordinate a large customer order, the afternoon you may help onboard a new employee, organize benefits enrollment, prepare reports for leadership, or coordinate regulatory documentation.

If you're energized by bringing order to complexity and helping a growing company succeed, we'd love to meet you.
