Cannabis Coordinator Corporate Innovation Jobs

For 160 years, Swisher dominated the US cigar and tobacco industry, with iconic brands such as Swisher Sweets, Drew Estate, and emerging brands such as Hempire and Rogue. Looking to the future, Swisher established an innovation arm to build a portfolio of iconic brands outside of tobacco. We are looking for a talented, hungry, motivated Coordinator to support this mission.

The team has a broad foundation in innovation and the start-up world with success rooted in wine, cannabis, beer, and technology. Energized by an insatiable appetite for success, a bias for data, a test-and-learn methodology, and a strong focus on innovation, the team will lead Swisher into owning a number of leading lifestyle brands for adult consumers.

If you…
…are curious, pragmatic, data-oriented, and slightly contrarian

…picture yourself as a trendsetter, take pride in the impact you can have in the world

…have a strong sense of humor and don’t take yourself seriously

…dislike the status quo

Then we may have a role for you to play in this big movement of ours!
