Cannabis Illinois Brand Manager Jobs

OVERVIEW:

Miss Grass is looking for a Illinois Brand Manager—an energetic mover and shaker who lives and breathes the Miss Grass ethos and wants to share it with others by growing the MG product line. The ideal candidate is extremely personable, strategic, resilient, creative, and motivated—a total superstar when it comes to sales, marketing partnerships and account management. You’ve got that entrepreneurial hustle, love the challenging and ever-changing environment of the cannabis industry, and thrive on the road and in the field.

You’ll educate budtenders and consumers on Miss Grass’ brand story, mission, and unique product offering.

ABOUT MISS GRASS

Miss Grass is Weed for the Times. Launched in 2018, our mission then—as it is now—was to learn and share. To contribute to an equitable industry. To offer products that were trusted and effective. And to create a safe space for anyone who had a desire to know more. Particularly women like us, who we felt were underserved. While our mission hasn’t changed, the moment has. More states are legalizing; stigmas are shifting. Our community has grown. And we’ve grown, too. So, whether you’ve been with us for a while or you’ve just arrived, we’re thrilled you’re here. Let’s continue to light it up.
