Title: Regional Vice President – Operations, West Region
Location: Western Region (AZ, NV, UT, ND, MO) with up to 75% travel and regular on-site presence in Phoenix, AZ. Relocation support available for top candidates.
Job Type: Full Time | Exempt
Who You Are:
You’re a seasoned cannabis operations executive with experience leading multi-site production environments and scaling operations across markets. You understand the cannabis lifecycle end-to-end — from cultivation through manufacturing and distribution — and know how to drive Safety, Quality, Compliance, Cost, and People outcomes. You influence leaders effectively, elevate standards, and execute strategy in regulated, fast-moving environments.
You balance strategy with field presence. You build high-performing teams, use KPIs and SOP discipline to guide decisions, and apply continuous improvement to move the business forward. You’re comfortable both in cultivation rooms and executive discussions — and energized by being hands-on with operators.
What You’ll Do:
- Lead “make & deliver” operations across the Western Region, partnering with Senior Leadership to drive growth, efficiency, and cost initiatives
- Set clear goals and objectives for multi-site operations, ensuring delivery on Safety, Quality, Compliance, Productivity, and People KPIs
- Own operational performance and budget oversight (CAPEX, OPEX, headcount), ensuring responsible spend and strong ROI
- Oversee field execution and support facility leaders to achieve operational targets with discipline around SOPs, throughput, and continuous improvement
- Collaborate closely with shared services (Supply Chain, HR, Finance, Quality, Compliance, Facilities, etc.) to ensure alignment and seamless execution
- Develop and elevate leaders — coaching, succession planning, and building bench strength to support scaling operations
- Monitor results, identify gaps, and drive corrective action through data, root cause problem-solving, and structured change management
- Build engagement and culture across sites — creating clarity, recognizing wins, empowering teams, and leading with empathy and accountability
- Drive strategic thinking and decision-making, adjusting priorities as business needs evolve
- Champion high ethical standards, quality mindset, and operational excellence across all markets
What You’ll Bring:
- Proven operations or supply chain leadership within the cannabis industry, including oversight of multi-site production environments
- 10+ years of leadership experience with team development and process improvement in multi-site operations
- 5+ years of experience working within FDA, SQF, or cGMP-regulated environments
- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Operations, or Supply Chain or equivalent experience with demonstrated operational leadership
- Demonstrated financial acumen, strategic decision-making, and the ability to communicate and collaborate effectively with stakeholders at every level
What We Offer:
- Career Growth Opportunities
- Competitive Pay and Benefits
- Generous PTO and Parental Leave
- 401(K) Retirement Plan
- Life/ Disability Insurance
- Community Involvement
- Referral Bonuses and Product Discounts
Benefits vary by state, role type, and eligibility.
