Job Description

An established California-based cannabis grower and manufacturer is looking for an experienced Operations Project Manager (Director level) to drive cross-functional initiatives spanning construction, manufacturing, and operations. This individual will play a critical role in expanding production capabilities, optimizing processes, and leading strategic growth projects from planning through execution. The position will be primarily onsite, with some flexibility for remote work as project needs allow.

What You’ll Do

  • Lead and deliver complex, multi-department projects focused on improving processes, facilities, and production operations.
  • Manage project scope, timelines, budgets, and resources while proactively identifying and solving bottlenecks.
  • Build and strengthen governance frameworks to align initiatives with company goals, compliance, and performance metrics.
  • Oversee capital expenditure (CapEx) projects — ensuring ROI, prioritization, and cost management.
  • Collaborate closely with Facilities, Engineering, Operations, and Finance to ensure projects stay on track and within scope.
  • Drive continuous improvement using methodologies such as Lean, Six Sigma, or Kaizen.
  • Act as a key liaison between leadership and functional teams, promoting accountability and alignment.

What We’re Looking For

  • 7–10+ years of project management and operations experience, ideally within CPG, manufacturing, agriculture, or other regulated industries (cannabis experience a plus).
  • Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Operations, or a related field (PMP preferred).
  • Strong understanding of construction management and capital project execution.
  • Proven track record in leading cross-functional initiatives and implementing PM methodologies.
  • Excellent communication and leadership skills with the ability to influence across departments.
  • Proficiency with PM tools like Smartsheet, MS Project, or Jira .

Nice-to-Haves

  • Experience in highly regulated or fast-growing industries.
  • Agile or hybrid project management certifications.
  • Change management or process improvement certifications (e.g., PROSCI, Six Sigma).
  • Passion for sustainability, innovation, and driving operational excellence.

Why This Opportunity

You’ll be joining a forward-thinking, growth-focused cannabis company that values transparency, collaboration, and innovation. This is a chance to make a direct impact on the evolution of operations at one of California’s top producers — helping bridge the gap between strategy and execution.
