Company Summary:

Kush is growing exponentially. Back in 2014, we were the 1st legal cannabis tour company in Seattle but our pivot in 2017 to a digital cannabis and hemp marketplace is blowing up. Our marketplace was first to market and is the only multi-state platform for licensed cannabis buyers and sellers. Think e-bay for wholesale buyers and sellers of cannabis and hemp. Our print & digital advertising product and trade shows have proven an excellent lead source for growth and have allowed us to build a stellar brand in the rapidly growing marijuana industry. We are now poised to take our company national. We’re looking for a smart, motivated, entrepreneurial individual to join our leadership team as the VP of Sales and Marketing and lead our national expansion. Our mission is to drive the cannabis and hemp industry toward responsible growth and global acceptance. Are you up for the challenge?

Job Duties:

Lead the Sales and Marketing Team

Our company is scaling and so is our team. The Vice President of Sales and Marketing will be responsible for our national expansion as well as oversee the current staff of 15 highly effective people including a Director of Sales, Director of Marketing and a production staff. As a sales team, we plan to scale to over 35 professionals in the next 8 months. The VP of Sales will be leading this effort and be responsible for our corporate revenue targets. Our company vision is to be the leading Hemp and Cannabis exchange where you can buy and sell instantly. Our sales team is at the heart of this vision.

Establish and Execute on Corporate Goals

Every goal has tactics. As the VP of Sales and Marketing, you will lead a team to execute on our established tactics as well as continue to refine and develop our sales plan. The founding team is incredibly excited to find the perfect person to join our executive ranks. We will look to you to bring your experience to a young startup with unlimited potential.

Expand Our Team as a Sales Driven Organization

We plan on extreme growth over the next year, and we need the right person who can recruit as well as lead. The outside sales team is new.

To be successful in this position, you’ll need to be able to confidently wear many hats with a smile.
