ABOUT FROM THE EARTH
From The Earth is a growing California's cannabis retailers and delivery operators, serving thousands of customers throughout Southern California. We have maintained a perfect compliance record since 2015 and are known for our commitment to quality, community, and innovation. We are seeking a highly motivated marketing professional who is passionate about cannabis culture, consumer brands, digital marketing, and emerging technology. The ideal candidate is passionate about cannabis, consumer brands, social media, and emerging technology — someone who genuinely wants to be part of the industry, not just work in it.

You will work directly with company leadership and have a real impact on how From The Earth shows up in the world.
