Cannabis Brand Retail Success Manager Jobs

Brand & Retail Success Manager Job Description

About VB Brands Inc.

VB Brands Inc. is a cannabis-focused product development company headquartered in Los Angeles, CA. The company’s mission is to create and provide consumer cannabis product experiences that improve the lives of the widest possible array of consumers. The company was founded in 2019, and our keystone Clickspray product first hit shelves in California on April 20, 2020. The Clickspray product line consists of 4 sublingual sprays utilizing the latest biodelivery technology to deliver a premium experience -- Go (for all your active moments), Restore (for all your nagging pains), Chill (for when you want to take the edge off), and Dream (for a better night’s sleep). To start 2022, we also launched a line of fast-acting gummies that deliver quick and powerful effects to consumers, sometimes in a matter of minutes.

Click provides a superior experience in every way. Consumers buy Click because they have an unmet need for a combination of discretion and portability with their cannabis experience, and they remain customers because of the value, quality and the ability to get an accurate dose and predictably positive experience every time. Our mission is to bring this experience to as many cannabis market consumers as possible in California, and eventually worldwide.
