    ABOUT US

    At WOVN, we are at the exciting intersection of cannabis and technology. We are the only licensed third-party distributor headquartered in San Francisco, the pioneering city for cannabis legalization and innovation, and with a hub in Los Angeles. Our focus is heavily on development and implementation of proprietary systems, to manage a complex supply chain experiencing rapid growth and evolution. We take pride in the quality relationships we build with our brand and retail partners. 

    Working at WOVN would put you in the middle of the cannabis commerce lifecycle and provide a unique perspective with great opportunities for learning and development. We work with the entire industry: suppliers, labs, retailers, community leaders, and regulatory bodies. Licensed distributors are also offered the opportunity to work in production, by packaging bulk flower into retail-ready products.

    We aspire to create a safe space at the forefront of legalization, forward from the War on Drugs, with an inclusive team rooted in equity, community, and collaboration. We invite folks in all forms to apply and we embrace our differences, as this is what makes you uniquely you. Our team is the core of who we are. We encourage authenticity and openness to learning together, as we continue forging ahead in cannabis, the new frontier. 

    ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

    Our Driver Team is looking to invite a new team member to the face of our operation. This role is a cross of technical prowess, safety, and human connection. If you're knowledgeable about cannabis products (or open to learning) and enjoy nerding out on a new industry, this role can give you a fun perspective to add to your toolkit. You'll be the primary point of contact between our operation, and the suppliers and retailers that share space with us in the California supply chain. You'll get to explore the roads of Northern California, from the busy streets of San Francisco to the wide open spaces of Mount Shasta, and beyond! We are a forward thinking organization and technology is a core part of our operations, offering the opportunity to learn as we keep developing our processes. 

    The WOVN driver role offers the opportunity to problem solve and think quickly on your feet. Do you enjoy a good challenge and working with an incredible team to find solutions? Each day is full of new adventures and our team works collaboratively on problems that satisfy everyone's needs, while keeping a balance between autonomy and knowing when to ask for help. The cannabis industry is growing and there are endless new experiences available to get creative and grow.
