Now Hiring - SeaWeed Co. - Retail Sales Associates in Portland, ME

Full description of the position

Retail Associates have 3 primary roles; Fulfillment, Cashiering, and Budtending. You will bounce between these roles during shifts. Employees experience all areas of retail to obtain a diverse understanding of retail operations.

Responsibilities:

Fulfillment is in the back of house and is responsible for accurately gathering items needed for orders created by the Budtenders. In this position you are responsible for constructing customer orders and ensuring all products that leave the store are from the proper batch, compliantly labeled and properly packaged in the correct exit packaging. Inventory must be tracked and managed precisely.

Budtenders are the frontline in educating our customers. In their role, they will demonstrate a level of knowledge that will provide important information to each customer regarding our strains and products. Being able to connect and build relationships with customers is a must. They must be able to keep clear communication with cashiers and fulfillment as to customer orders, stock and supply, and recommendations. They should keep a general awareness of the guests coming and going.

Budtenders are the link between guests and the products provided and produced by SeaWeed Co. It is important that accurate information and appropriate non medical advice is being given by staff. Budtenders need to fully listen to what a customer is relaying, and then ask questions and draw on their knowledge of our product base, cannabis science, and general industry knowledge to best advise them. Asking questions to give guidance on intended use, dosing, and proper consumption methods are key to successful budtending.

Cashiers are responsible for ensuring compliant sales, precise cash handling, and accurate data entry. Being the last staff member that a guest will encounter they must be able to accurately answer any final questions that may pertain to marijuana products and how to use or consume them. They must be able to discern counterfeit bills, confirming a guests order, as well as keep a general awareness of the guests coming and going. They must have a broad knowledge of all products inside the store to ensure every transaction is accounted for accurately.
