About Stillwater Brands:

Stillwater Brands (www.stillwater.life) sells some of the leading THC- and CBD-infused edibles products in Colorado, including Ripple Dissolvables, Ripple Gummies, and Ripple QuickSticks.

Stillwater Brands was founded in 2015 when our co-founder’s grandmother asked him to get her a pot brownie. Realizing that grandma cared more about feeling better than getting stoned, our founders set out to develop functional cannabinoid-infused food and beverage products that alleviated the aches and anxieties of everyday life without tipping people into unwanted intoxication or forcing them to self-identify as “drug users.” 

About the Job

This position requires a highly-motivated and extremely organized individual who’s excited to engage with dispensaries, budtenders, and consumers alike.

• Maintaining the Stillwater Brands website, sales materials, newsletters, and dispensary collateral; updating and developing additional tools as needed.
• Serving as a brand steward to ensure our marketing strategy and positioning are accurately represented in all marketing activities and materials.
• Working in close communication with our Sales team to push trade marketing efforts forward

What we’ll love about you:

• An authentic love for spending time in and around the business side of the cannabis industry, with a special place in your heart for dispensaries and the people who make them go

• A willingness to admit error quickly and move immediately on to improvement
• A clear communicator in any format
• Excellent time management skills

What you’ll love about us:

• We are a company, not a cult. We expect you to put in an honest day’s work and then go home to your family. Fire drills are the exception, not the norm.
• We are a team of competent, motivated, diverse, and decent adults.
• We offer competitive compensation, 100% paid health benefits, 401k, and a fun, relaxed office environment.
• We are a workplace of adults who value reasoned debate over political maneuvering. We try to do the right thing and, more importantly, we try to identify and admit when we don’t.
• We offer flexible PTO for all full-time employees. We too value health, relaxation, and spending time with friends and family.
