  • Monitor crop performance, environmental conditions, nutrient programs, and integrated pest management strategies
  • Lead problem-solving efforts related to crop quality, yield, cultivation efficiency, and facility performance
  • Support facility expansion, process optimization, and future growth initiatives
  • Ensure compliance with applicable cultivation, quality, and regulatory requirements
You should have the following:
  • Medical Grade cannabis cultivation leadership experience within commercial-scale operations
  • Demonstrated success producing premium-quality cannabis at scale
  • Experience operating within highly regulated cultivation environments
  • Strong understanding of irrigation systems, environmental controls, plant nutrition, and cultivation best practices
  • Experience collaborating with Quality Assurance and regulatory teams
  • Proven leadership experience managing cultivation teams and driving operational excellence
  • Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and decision-making capabilities
  • Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on operational execution
  • Medical cannabis cultivation experience strongly preferred
  • Experience within pharmaceutical-grade, GMP, GACP, or highly regulated agricultural environments considered an asset
What's in it for you:
  • Opportunity to join a rapidly growing European medical and pharmaceutical cannabis organization
  • International relocation opportunity (Portugal)
  • Highly visible leadership role with significant influence over cultivation performance and business growth
  • Competitive compensation package variable compensation potential
  • Company vehicle and fuel allowance
  • Food allowance program
  • Relocation assistance including moving support and immigration assistance
  • Opportunity to work within one of Europe's most advanced and highly regulated medical cannabis markets
