Terrabis is a leading privately held cannabis company with a bold growth strategy for 2026. Operating in both wholesale and retail, we’re at the forefront of the industry, setting new standards, and pushing boundaries. Join us in shaping the future of cannabis. We don’t just follow trends; we set them.
Position SummaryWe are looking for a Junior Business Development Analyst who is hungry, ambitious, and ready to get their hands dirty. This is not a "sit back and watch" internship; this is a role for a grinder who wants to learn the cannabis industry from the ground up.
You will wear many hats. One hour you might be deep in spreadsheets analyzing market demographics, and the next you’ll be on the phone negotiating with a landlord or navigating complex zoning laws with a city clerk. If you are looking for a clear 9-to-5 with a rigid structure, this isn't for you. If you want to build a career in one of the fastest-growing industries in the world, keep reading.
What You’ll Do (The "Little Bit of Everything")- Relentless Outreach: You will cold-call and email potential landlords and commercial real estate brokers to identify viable properties for dispensaries or wholesale sites.
- Regulatory Detective Work: Call municipalities and city planning offices to verify zoning maps, understand setbacks, and get clarity on local cannabis ordinances.
- Market Research: Analyze new markets for expansion. Who are the competitors? What is the population density? Is the local government friendly to cannabis?
- Pipeline Management: Keep our CRM organized. Track every lead, every call, and every "maybe" until it becomes a "yes" or a "no."
- Ad-Hoc Support: Assist senior leadership with pitch decks, travel logistics, or administrative tasks as we scale.
- You have "Grit": You don’t take "no" personally. You see rejection as just a step toward a "yes."
- You are a Chameleon: You can speak professionally to a city mayor in the morning and casually to a contractor or landlord in the afternoon.
- You are Curious: You don’t wait to be told what to do. If you don’t understand a zoning law, you Google it, you call someone, and you figure it out.
- Detail-Oriented: In cannabis, one missed checkbox on an application can cost us a license. You sweat the small stuff.
- 2+ years of experience in sales, real estate, business development, or a research-heavy role.
- Flexibility on ability to travel (sometimes with little notice)
- Strong proficiency in Excel/Google Sheets (you can organize data quickly).
- Excellent phone manner—you aren't afraid to pick up the phone.
- Genuine interest in the cannabis industry (regulatory knowledge is a plus, but willingness to learn is mandatory).
- Competitive base salary + Bonus.
- Direct mentorship from successful entrepreneurs
- The opportunity to grow into a senior BD or Operations role.
