Stay current on Heritage products, competitor products, market conditions and promotional trends, and know how we compare.

Represent Heritage at trade shows, budtender events and industry functions.

Ensure all sales and promotional activity complies with the Cannabis Act and BC?s Cannabis Control and Licensing Act, including the rules on promotion and inducements.

Keep learning: build your product knowledge and sharpen your selling skills.

Other duties as assigned.
