JOB SUMMARY

Tower Cannabis...the new game in town. We're an indie cannabis retail dispensary in Calgary's NW community of Carrington and we're looking for a flexible and upbeat budtender to round out our strong team.

Our store is open from 10:00 am to 11:00 pm seven days a week, and we're looking for someone who has flexibility within those hours.

A budtender's role is to help all customers - novice and veteran - navigate the wide world of recreational cannabis consumption. Successful budtenders have intimate knowledge of Tower’s inventory and can speak to the different nuances within each product and strain. They work with customers to recommend the best product based on customer preferences. They might ask the customer when the last time was and how often they consume cannabis or what they want to feel after consuming cannabis, so they can suggest the best product for that customer. Budtenders are also familiar with the different cannabis accessories (pipes, vaporizers, etc.) as well as the wide range of smokeless edibles, concentrates, topicals and tinctures and can speak about the different methods and modes of safe cannabis consumption.
Budtenders are passionate about cannabis and stay on top of industry news, important holidays and events. They include this element of culture and passion in their interactions with customers which creates a rich and meaningful dispensary experience.
