Job Description

At Minnesota Cannabis Services, we're not just building businesses — we're building the people who make them great. Our team partners with leading operators across cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, and retail to deliver world-class expertise in legal, finance, analytics, marketing, HR, and technology.

We're looking for professionals who take pride in their work, move with purpose, and thrive in fast-changing environments. The kind of people who hold themselves to high standards, think creatively, and find satisfaction in solving hard problems.

When you join our team, you'll work alongside some of the most experienced leaders in the industry — professionals who share their knowledge freely and lead by example. You'll be challenged, supported, and trusted to take ownership of meaningful work that shapes the future of one of the fastest-growing industries in America.

About the Opportunity

This is not your typical administrative role. As the Executive Assistant to the COO of a rapidly growing multi-state cannabis operator, you'll gain hands-on experience in how real businesses are built, scaled, and led at the highest levels. You'll work side-by-side with a C-suite executive who values drive, precision, and initiative—offering direct mentorship in entrepreneurship, leadership, and business strategy.

If you are an ambitious, competitive, and disciplined young professional looking for a fast track to executive-level exposure, this role represents an unparalleled opportunity to accelerate your career. You'll be embedded in daily operational decision-making and cross-departmental projects that shape the future of one of the nation's fastest-growing cannabis companies.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage and prioritize the COO's calendar, meetings, and communications across multiple business units.
  • Track and follow up on initiatives and directives with department heads and project teams.
  • Support business development, negotiations, and strategic planning activities.
  • Conduct data entry, research, and documentation for executive projects.
  • Prepare reports, summaries, and presentations for internal and external stakeholders.
  • Manage information flow and maintain alignment between the COO, Directors, and senior managers.
  • Assist with project management, ensuring milestones and deliverables are achieved on time.
  • Support in reviewing key operational metrics, financial summaries, and pipeline initiatives.

Who You Are

  • Highly ambitious and goal-driven; thrives in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment.
  • Confident communicator—professional, persuasive, and capable of representing the COO in high-stakes interactions.
  • Intellectually curious and hungry to learn about entrepreneurship, leadership, and business operations.
  • Organized, efficient, and proactive in anticipating needs before they're stated.
  • Values integrity, accountability, and results over rhetoric.
  • Comfortable handling confidential information with absolute discretion.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Finance, Communications, or related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 2+ years of professional experience in business administration, project coordination, or operations.
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.
  • Proven ability to manage competing priorities and meet tight deadlines.
  • Strong analytical, organizational, and follow-through abilities.
  • High proficiency in Google Workspace and Microsoft Office; CRM or ATS experience a plus.
  • Why Join Us

    At our company, competitiveness drives innovation and meritocracy fuels advancement. We reward results, not tenure, and empower those who take ownership and deliver. Working directly with the COO means daily exposure to decision-making at the highest level—offering insights into scaling multi-state operations, managing high-performing teams, and executing complex projects.

    If you've ever wanted to understand how great companies are built from the inside out—and you're willing to work hard, stay disciplined, and learn fast—this is where your professional foundation will be forged.

    How to Apply

    Submit your resume and a cover letter describing what drives you and why this opportunity excites you.

    At Minnesota Cannabis Services, we believe great teams are built on trust, initiative, and follow-through. We invest deeply in our people — providing mentorship, on-the-job training, and opportunities for advancement across multiple sectors of the cannabis industry.

    Here, you'll be part of a high-performing culture that values precision, reliability, and continuous improvement. Every project is a chance to grow your skills, strengthen your leadership, and contribute to something that matters.

    If you're driven, resourceful, and ready to make an impact, we want you on our team. Apply today and take the next step in your career with Minnesota Cannabis Services.
