About the Role

The Director of Cultivation is a senior operational leader responsible for designing, implementing, and scaling high-performing, compliant cultivation programs across multiple states and cultivation modalities.

Success in this role is measured by the ability to deliver consistent quality at scale, while maintaining regulatory compliance and operational efficiency. This position requires a sophisticated leader capable of managing remote, geographically dispersed teams while maintaining a strong "boots-on-the-ground" technical presence.

Initially, the role will focus on providing leadership and oversight for outdoor cultivation operations, with a clear trajectory toward enterprise-wide responsibility spanning indoor, outdoor, and greenhouse facilities across multiple states.

The Director will work closely with and build upon the strength of the company's existing cultivation teams - who are highly valued - while fostering a collaborative, high-performance culture. This leader will be responsible for developing passionate, aligned, and functional cultivation teams across markets, ensuring consistency, accountability, and shared standards.

Manage the enterprise-wide nursery and mother program to ensure high-vigor, high-terpene, and high-yield cultivars are aligned with market trends.

• Cross-Functional Optimization:Partner with Commercial and Retail teams on demand planning and strain mix optimization to ensure the genetic pipeline meets consumer preferences.
• KPI Accountability:Deploy and monitor a scorecard for yield, potency, cost-per-gram, and labor efficiency across all remote sites

Leadership & Strategic Responsibilities
