• Lead strategic business reviews and advise senior leaders on operational priorities and risks.
• Oversee the development and implementation of SOPs across markets to ensure consistency and compliance.
• Ensure operational alignment with state-by-state cannabis regulations, partnering closely with Legal, Compliance, and Supply Chain.
• Build and lead a high-performing BizOps function, including internal team members and cross-functional task forces.
• Drive change management initiatives to support growth, restructures, or new market entry.
• Foster a culture of accountability, data-driven decision-making, and continuous improvement.
• Act as a mentor and multiplier within the broader organization—raising the bar for operational excellence.

What you’ve accomplished:

• 10+ years of progressive experience in Business Operations, Strategy, or Product/Program Management, including 5+ years in a senior leadership role.
• Proven success operating in regulated industries (Cannabis, FinTech, HealthTech, etc.) with a strong grasp of compliance frameworks.
• Deep experience leading cross-functional teams and driving strategic initiatives across B2B, B2C, or platform business models.
• Strong operational, analytical, and communication skills with a systems-thinking approach.
• Passion for cannabis innovation, regulatory compliance, and building socially responsible businesses.
• Must be okay with travel.
• Background in cannabis technology platforms (seed-to-sale, POS, delivery, CRM, compliance systems).
• Experience scaling operations in high-growth, startup, or multi-state environments.
• Proficiency in tools such as Looker, Jira, Asana, Figma, Mixpanel, or similar.
• Strong understanding of SaaS, marketplace, or mobile-first product environments.
