Budtender

We're hiring a full-time Budtender for our Isabel Street location in Winnipeg. Smoke City Cannabis is a local, fast-growing retail chain, and we're looking for someone who already knows the floor: the products, the regulations, and the rhythm of a busy retail cannabis shop.

PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING

This posting is for candidates with prior PAID experience working in a licensed cannabis retail store (budtender, sales associate, or shift lead at a licensed dispensary). This is a strict requirement, not a preference.

We will NOT be responding to applicants who:

• Have no prior retail cannabis experience
• Only have personal cannabis knowledge or hobbyist interest
• Have worked in unlicensed or illicit cannabis sales
• Submit a generic resume with no cannabis retail history on it

If your resume does not clearly show employment at a licensed cannabis retailer, please save your time and ours: your application will not be reviewed.

What you'll do

• Serve customers with professional, knowledgeable, and friendly product recommendations
• Educate guests on flower, pre-rolls, edibles, vapes, concentrates, and accessories
• Run POS transactions accurately and verify ID on every sale per Manitoba LGCA rules
• Stay current on new product arrivals, promotions, and industry trends
• Restock, merchandise, and keep the retail floor clean and organized
• Support inventory counts, receiving, and general store operations
• Uphold all provincial and federal cannabis regulations at all times

What you must have

• Verifiable prior employment at a licensed cannabis retailer (this will be checked)
• Valid Manitoba Cannabis Worker Authorization, or willing and able to obtain one immediately
• 19 years of age or older
• Strong customer service and communication skills in English
• Reliable, punctual, and available for weekends, evenings, and holidays
• Able to stand for long shifts and lift up to 25 lbs

What we offer

• Competitive hourly wage
• Staff discount on cannabis products
• Real opportunities for growth within a fast-growing local chain
• Supportive team environment
