## Assistant General Manager — Green Thumb Industries | Pasadena, CA Green Thumb Industries (GTI) is hiring an Assistant General Manager at its Pasadena, California RISE dispensary. If you've been running the floor at a cannabis retailer and you're ready to take on P&L accountability and team development with the backing of a scaled, publicly traded operator — this is the next move. ### What You're Taking On The AGM role at GTI sits between floor leadership and the General Manager. You're not shadowing — you're running shifts, coaching team members, executing compliance, and handling the operational layer that keeps a high-volume dispensary humming. GTI also runs drive-thru and curbside delivery formats, so omni-channel execution is part of the job. Key responsibilities: - Oversee dispensary operations: security, inventory, state and local compliance, seed-to-sale accuracy - Lead "Leader on Duty" (LOD) shifts; supervise and redirect team behavior on the floor - Manage cash handling, daily reconciliation, and expense management within budget - Drive customer loyalty programs and repeat traffic; support omni-channel (in-store, drive-thru, curbside, delivery) consistency - Partner with the GM on hiring, onboarding, scheduling, and performance management - Develop team members into leadership roles; address performance issues promptly - Support community outreach and in-store events ### Salary Range Not listed. Verify at application. ### Qualifications Required - At least three years managing teams in a retail setting with POS-based operations - Cannabis experience preferred; inventory control experience preferred - 21+ required; valid driver's license or state ID; must pass all required background checks - Flexible availability including mornings, days, nights, and weekends - Strong communication, leadership, and conflict-resolution skills ### Benefits (Confirmed in Posting) Medical, dental, and vision; paid time off; company discounts; flexible time off / unlimited vacation; free snacks and drinks; life insurance; paid parental leave; short-term and long-term disability; casual dress; inclusive environment. ### Growth Path AGM to General Manager is the obvious path at GTI, and the company is clear that it develops talent from within. GTI operates hundreds of RISE dispensaries nationally, which means a high performer in Pasadena has real relocation and promotion optionality within the same company. GTI's mission — "promote well-being through the power of cannabis" — is not just a tagline; they back it with development resources. ### Region Notes Pasadena is a strong cannabis retail market in the San Gabriel Valley, drawing consumers from Arcadia, Monrovia, Alhambra, and the wider East LA basin. GTI's Pasadena dispensary sits in a competitive but loyal market with a mix of wellness-oriented and experienced cannabis consumers. Dispensary leadership experience in a high-foot-traffic Southern California location is career-defining. ### How to Stand Out Three years of retail management is the minimum — candidates who can document specific KPI improvements, employee retention records, or compliance audit results will rise above the field. GTI runs a culture of humility and collaboration; avoid the "I turned the store around single-handedly" narrative. Highlight team development stories and compliance accuracy. If you know their RISE brand and can speak to how it differs from competitors in the market, you'll land. Apply on the employer site via Vangst.
