Cannabis Supervisor Jobs (NOW HIRING)

THE ROLE

The Lead Sales Associate is first & foremost a guest-facing Sales Associate, spending the substantial majority of each shift directly serving guests, completing sales transactions & supporting the sales floor.

This role recognizes experienced, high-performing Sales Associates who can serve as a peer resource for the team, while continuing to perform the same core guest-service & sales responsibilities as other Sales Associates. Lead Sales Associates may help with opening & closing tasks, transaction verification, product knowledge & operational communication as directed by Retail Management - they help keep the shift organized by communicating information & supporting their peers, but do not supervise or manage employees.

Any employee-performance, conduct, scheduling, policy or other managerial concern must be escalated to a Shift Supervisor, Assistant Retail Manager or Retail General Manager. Being an experienced peer resource, or assisting another Sales Associate, does not give the Lead Sales Associate supervisory or managerial authority.
