Sales And Marketing Associate

ABOUT Novel Beverage:

Novel Beverage Co. is the premier end-to-end cannabis infused RTD beverage development, manufacturing and distribution company in the northeastern United States. We combine a multidisciplinary team, experienced in cannabis markets and supply chain, beverage development and production, and consumer goods manufacturing efficiency, with significant investments in licensed manufacturing infrastructure to provide a cost effective and user-friendly solution for bringing cannabis beverage brands to market.

ABOUT the position:

THC infused beverages are widely predicted to be the fastest growing category of THC products for many years to come, although they currently represent less than two percent of the overall THC market. This is a once in a generation opportunity to not only be part of the development of a new category of adult beverage, but to craft the path that development takes. Learning what the market wants from these products and creating a welcoming experience as the market adopts these new products will be a big part of the job. You will be interfacing with owners and purchasing managers at licensed THC retail stores, so having passion for the products and awareness of cannabis culture will be important. This opportunity warrants a serious approach to Sales and merchandizing, but at the end of the day if we are not having some fun, we will have missed the point of being in the THC space. We are seeking someone who can match our enthusiasm and complement our existing core competencies.
