Who You Are:

You're a collaborative operations-minded compliance professional who thrives in a fast-moving, highly regulated environment. You know how to build strong partnerships across Operations, Cultivation, Manufacturing, and Quality to keep workflows running smoothly and aligned with regulatory expectations.

You bring a proactive, solutions-focused approach to maintaining strong regulatory practices, strengthening quality systems, and supporting consistent standards across processing and manufacturing. You take ownership, solve problems early, and help teams move with clarity and confidence—ultimately influencing a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and operational excellence.

• Support regulatory inspections by preparing documentation, coordinating scheduling needs, and assisting Compliance leadership with regulatory communications
• Review and approve key compliance documents (including labels, forms, logs, MBRs, product specs, packaging, and labeling) to ensure accuracy and regulatory alignment
• Oversee product testing coordination, including sampling, lab communication, and verification of testing results prior to batch release
• Maintain compliance with licensing, document retention, OSHA/EHS standards, and overall data integrity requirements
• Train employees on SOPs, compliance expectations, and quality requirements, reinforcing consistent execution across teams
• Partner with Operations to manage compliance systems, incident reporting, audit documentation, and continuous improvement initiatives
• Support vendor qualification, supplier audits, and compliance-related capex planning as needed

What You'll Bring:

• 5+ years of experience in Compliance within highly regulated industries (cannabis, food, pharma, life sciences, or healthcare)
• Strong knowledge of cGMP, QMS principles, and regulatory frameworks, with the ability to apply them to daily operations
• Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office and Excel, with strong documentation and record-keeping skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills; detail-oriented, analytical, and consistent in follow-through
• Proven ability to prioritize under pressure, solve problems proactively, and meet critical deadlines
• Hands-on experience supporting audits, CAPA, Change Control, and continuous improvement initiatives
• Bachelor's degree in a relevant discipline (science, engineering, agriculture, public health, regulatory studies, or related field) or equivalent industry experience
• Experience with electronic QMS systems and structured document control

Even Better If:

• You have familiarity with cannabis manufacturing or cultivation processes and experience with Biotrack or other seed-to-sale platforms
• You bring certifications such as ISO, GMP, HACCP, or OSHA
