Northern Helm Danforth Cannabis Guide (Budtender) Job Description

WHO WE ARE

Northern Helm is charting a new course. Our goal is to normalize the cannabis retail experience: browsing and purchasing cannabis products should feel no different than any other shopping experience. We recognize that cannabis may be new to a lot of people, so our stores are beautiful and uncomplicated, designed to engage – not overwhelm – our guests. Northern Helm is slated to open its first licensed retail store in Toronto this spring, with an additional four partner locations opening mid-summer 2021 in Eastern Ontario.

A deep understanding of recreational cannabis products helps them to drive sales through education and awareness. Our Cannabis Guides demonstrate high levels of integrity and initiative, owning new challenges that pop up on a daily basis. They are always trying to better themselves, seeking out new product information, knowledge and feedback. And they do all this while being kind, genuine and responsible individuals.
