    The Role At Green Thumb Industries and RISE Dispensaries, we believe the first impression is everything and that starts with you.

This role is ideal for individuals who enjoy connecting with others, maintaining physical readiness to act with urgency, and ensuring everyone feels safe, respected, and cared for.
