Pitching in during high-demand periods to help prepare and package products, including premium extraction items
Following state regulations and security procedures by accurately labeling plants and entering inventory information

You thrive in a fast-paced, team environment, collaborating with others while fostering a positive and professional atmosphere
You bring sharp attention to detail, ensuring quality and consistency in every task
You are reliable and detail-oriented, with strong documentation, inventory, and organizational skills that help you stay on top of a tight schedule

***Please note that U.S. immigration rules and regulations are governed by federal law; not state law. Although Curaleaf operates in states that have legalized and decriminalized marijuana, it is still considered a controlled substance under federal regulations and thus illegal under federal law. For this reason, unless and until federal law changes, Curaleaf is prohibited from offering sponsorship for any non-immigrant or immigrant visas.
***Please also note that while candidates who are Lawful Permanent Residents (such as those with Green Cards) are eligible for employment with, and are hired by Curaleaf, working for a company engaged in a business that grows and sells a product that is illegal under federal law might compromise the candidate’s immigration status. Before a Lawful Permanent Resident accepts an offer of employment, Curaleaf recommends that the candidate seek the advice of an immigration lawyer.
