• Collaborate with store managers on local promotions and activations.
• Keep things organized with clear communication, outreach logs, and timely follow-ups.
• Work with marketing to create local content and event materials.
• Track your impact through KPIs like leads captured, physician engagements, and event ROI.
• Stay sharp by monitoring competitors and suggesting ways to stay ahead.
• Follow compliance guidelines and escalate any legal questions as needed.
• Share insights to improve outreach strategies and amplify results across teams.
• Communicate clearly and professionally with patients, caregivers, and providers.

What You’ll Bring:

• Bachelor’s degree in marketing or equivalent experience in healthcare, sales, community outreach, or field marketing will also be considered.
• Minimum of 3 years of experience in community outreach, field sales, or brand ambassadorship with demonstrated results.
• At least 3 years of experience with public speaking, product education, hosting and attending networking events, visual merchandising, and creating visually appealing product displays.
• Proven ability to build and manage relationships with physicians, office staff, community leaders, and corporate partners.
• Exceptional verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to clearly articulate Curaleaf’s value proposition.
• Strong organizational and time-management capabilities, including the ability to independently plan territory schedules and prioritize outreach activities.
• Sales-oriented mindset with experience in objection handling, negotiation, and driving conversion.
• Demonstrated ability to track and report key performance indicators such as visits, leads, CRM conversions, and transactions.
• Collaborative team player with a positive attitude and flexibility to work evenings and weekends as needed.
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation required for frequent field-based responsibilities.
• Comfortable working within a regulated industry and adhering to compliance standards.
• Ability to travel 100% of the time throughout the region.

Even Better If You Have:
