This role owns inventory from intake through the sales floor: receiving and reconciling product against METRC and the point of sale, managing vendor relationships, placing orders and setting par levels, running counts and audits, and keeping internal records clean. You will work closely with the management team to protect company assets and pass every compliance check.

Purchasing & Vendor Management

• Package and label infused and plant material into proper containers with compliant, accurate, and consistent labeling per state regulations.
• Maintain catalog and menu accuracy, including unit weights and flower-equivalent values, to support correct purchase-limit tracking.
• Log waste and destruction per MED rules, and quarantine recalled, expired, or held product.
• Maintain up-to-date knowledge of MED compliance regulations and manage inventory within all MED requirements.

Floor & Records

• Keep internal forms, logs, and POS records current and accurate.
