In most respects, running a cannabis dispensary is just like running any other retail operation. You have customers coming to your store to purchase products, and you have employees to help inform your shoppers, provide them with great customer service, and ultimately facilitate sales.
Just like in a traditional retail store, you’ll need managers and other staff to handle administrative tasks, oversee inventory, and keep the day-to-day operations running smoothly. However, unlike other industries, you’ll also need some key personnel to handle cannabis-specific duties and ensure the security of your premises and product.
You’ll learn about the most common positions you’ll likely need to hire for in your dispensary. Because the laws and requirements for cannabis retail vary by state and province, not all of these positions will apply everywhere; however, most dispensaries will need to fill the majority of these roles (or equivalent).
The descriptions provided here are generic and should be used as a starting point for your listings. You’ll also need to add “About Us” and “How to Apply” information to your job postings; we’ve included some examples here, following the descriptions. Also, note that the term “dispensary” typically refers to medical use, while adult-use or recreational cannabis is sold in cannabis retail stores. Use the term that applies to you when crafting your job ads.
