Our mission is to become America's leading cannabis brand at serving customers by offering the largest selection and value of high-quality, curated cannabis products in a welcoming and modern environment. The Position We're looking for a driven, hands‑on Assistant Store Manager (ASM) who leads by example, embraces a fast‑paced, no‑drama team culture, and takes full ownership of the store. If you're the kind of leader who steps up, finds solutions, and runs the floor like it's your own while keeping operations tight and compliant, we want to meet you! As an ASM at CANA, you are the operational backbone of the store, motivating and organizing our team of Customer Associates while owning the dispensary's inventory and compliance activities end to end. You'll partner closely with the Store Manager (SM) and run the store independently when the SM is off‑site, ensuring every shift delivers legendary customer service, accurate transactions, and airtight compliance. Key Responsibilities Inventory Leadership & Compliance: Own inventory accuracy across every phase of operation—receiving, recording, moving, and reconciling product so records are always right. Monitor all delivery transactions and verify deliveries for accuracy. Manage fulfillment of all orders and keep the vault and day storage organized, stocked, and to company standard. Run state tracking and paperwork, lead audits and reconciliations, perform system adjustments, diagnose root cause, and execute corrective actions. Leadership & Team Support: Motivate, coach, and organize the Customer Associate team to deliver legendary service and hit store goals. Foster a no‑drama, team‑first environment. Onboard and train new Customer Associates alongside the SM. Step in wherever needed—register, sales floor, vault, or troubleshooting. Run the store independently when the SM is off‑site. Daily Store Operations: Oversee daily store operations and keep every shift running smoothly. Manage cash handling procedures and record keeping. Maintain store compliance with all local, state, and federal regulations. Handle operational challenges proactively—POS issues, customer concerns, or security matters. Sales & Customer Service: Inspire the team to deliver legendary customer service and set the standard yourself. Maintain in‑depth knowledge of products and strains. Ensure accurate use and maintenance of the POS system and verify proper paperwork, documentation, and ID for every customer. Resolve customer issues with professionalism and confidence. Store Appearance & Safety: Keep the dispensary clean, organized, and professional‑looking at all times. Oversee security measures and safety compliance, collaborating with security personnel to protect customers, employees, and product.

Cannabis experience (preferred). Bachelor's degree (preferred). Proven ability to manage teams and create a positive, high‑energy work environment. Strong attention to detail, compliance, and organization, with the ability to meet timelines consistently and work cross‑functionally under pressure. Excellent communication, organizational, and leadership skills, and openness to constructive, developmental feedback. Comfortable with standard office software—word processing, spreadsheets, database management, and email. Additional Requirements Must be 21+ years old. Valid driver's license or state ID.
