Social Cannabis Dispensary - General Manager in Training

About The Social Cannabis

The Social Cannabis is a Colorado-based, community-focused cannabis retailer operating multiple dispensary locations across the state. We're not a faceless chain — we're people who care deeply about the plant, our customers, and the neighborhoods we serve. Our team leads with education, hospitality, and a genuine love for what we do.

We invest in our people. The GM-in-Training program exists because we believe the best General Managers come from within — from people who learned our systems, earned the trust of their teams, and grew into the role the right way.

The Opportunity

We're hiring a General Manager-in-Training to develop into a full GM at one of our Colorado locations. This isn't a dead-end title — it's a defined training track with a clear path to leading your own store.

You'll report to our Director of Operations and spend the first several months training at 1-2 of our locations — learning our POS system, inventory management, compliance requirements, and leadership culture side by side with experienced GMs. Once you're ready, you'll step into a General Manager role.

If you're the kind of person who thrives in fast-paced retail, loves coaching a team, and wants to build a career in one of the most dynamic industries in Colorado — this is your seat.

What You'll Do

• Train under experienced GMs across 1-2 Social Cannabis locations
• Learn store operations end-to-end: open/close, inventory, cash handling, compliance
• Develop leadership skills through hands-on shift management and team coaching
• Monitor store KPIs and learn how to drive performance (ticket size, traffic, conversion)
• Build community presence through local outreach and grassroots marketing
• Progress toward full store GM responsibilities within your first 90 days

What We're Looking For

Must-haves:

• 2+ years managing or leading a retail, restaurant, or hospitality team
• You've held people accountable, built culture, and kept operations running smoothly
• Strong communicator — with your team, customers, and leadership
• Must be 21 or older
• Valid Colorado driver's license (you'll travel between training locations)
• Valid Colorado MED Occupational License

Nice-to-haves:

• Prior cannabis retail experience in a licensed dispensary
• Experience with Dutchie POS or similar cannabis/retail POS systems
• You've managed a high-volume retail location ($1M+ annually)
• You're genuinely excited about cannabis — the industry, the culture, and the customers
