WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR
We are not looking for someone who needs direction at every turn. The Field Market Success Manager is a rare hybrid: part brand builder, part account strategist, and fully self-directed. You will own your territory in New York with minimal oversight, and your results will speak for themselves.
The Non-Negotiable: You Are a Self-Starter
-
You identify what needs to be done and do it — without being asked twice
-
You manage your own calendar, priorities, and follow-through with precision
-
You are proactive in building relationships, spotting opportunities, and flagging risks before they become problems
-
You bring ideas, not just execution — you surface market feedback, suggest campaign angles, and push for better outcomes
-
You are comfortable being the only Leafly rep in the room and making that count
-
When no one is watching, your standard of work doesn’t change
ROLE SUMMARY
The Field Market Success Manager (FMSM) is a hybrid role that unites in-market brand activation with strategic customer success management. Operating on a part-time basis across the New York territory, this individual works independently to serve as the face of Leafly to consumers and retail dispensary partners alike — driving brand awareness through events and community engagement while owning retailer relationships to maximize product adoption, retention, and revenue growth.
Because this is a part-time, largely autonomous role, the person in this seat must be exceptionally organized, self-motivated, and capable of delivering full-time impact on a flexible schedule. This is not a role for someone who waits to be told what to do next.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
You will co-manage your own time across these two pillars.
In-Market Brand Activation
-
Proactively identify and secure event opportunities, dispensary partnerships, and community activations across New York — don’t wait for the calendar to come to you
-
Represent Leafly at dispensary locations, consumer events, trade shows, and industry activations
-
Educate consumers, patients, and budtenders on the full Leafly platform: app features, shopping, deals, and strain tools — far beyond basic brand awareness
-
Build and maintain genuine, lasting relationships with in-store dispensary personnel including managers, buyers, and floor staff
-
Self-direct content creation across approved social media platforms; capture photos, video, and event assets for post-event recaps without needing prompts to do so
-
Coordinate your own event logistics including setup, breakdown, and vendor communication
-
Proactively ensure all activities comply with New York cannabis regulations and Leafly brand standards
-
Submit timely, detailed field recaps covering store visits, events, and budtender engagement — on time, every time, without reminders
Customer Success Management
-
Partner with a portfolio of New York retail dispensary accounts post-onboarding, managing the full relationship lifecycle with minimal supervision
-
Take the initiative to check in with accounts before problems arise — don’t wait for inbound escalations
