Be Part of the Team Bringing Sanctuary Saugus to Life From Day One
At Sanctuary Medicinals, our Security does a lot more than watch the door. They help run the front of the store, create a welcoming atmosphere, and keep both customers and staff safe while the dispensary stays moving at full speed.
As part of the opening team for Sanctuary Saugus, you will help build the energy, culture, and customer experience from day one. You are the first impression customers get when they walk in and the person the team looks to when things get busy.
This role is perfect for someone who can stay calm under pressure, lead with confidence, keep things organized, and still crack a smile during a hectic Saturday rush.
If you like fast-paced environments, leadership, customer interaction, problem-solving, and being the person who keeps everything under control without making it feel stressful, this role was made for you.
Why Sanctuary Saugus?
Opening a new dispensary is exciting, unpredictable, fast-moving, and honestly a lot of fun. As Security, you will help shape the atmosphere customers experience the second they walk through the door while leading a team that keeps everything running safely and smoothly.
You will not just be watching the floor. You will be part of building the culture, leading the energy of the lobby, and helping launch one of the most exciting new retail teams in Massachusetts cannabis.
