Regional Director of Finance

At TerrAscend, we are on a mission to shape the future of the cannabis industry by creating leading marijuana-based therapies for patients and developing premium products for legalized adult recreational use.  We are one of the largest and fastest growing multi-state, vertically integrated cannabis operators in North America.  We’re on a roll and are just getting started! 

It’s a Joint Effort

We believe that How We Work Together Matters.  Our priority is to assemble a team that believes not just in what we do but how and why we do it.  Our most successful team members know that being of service to our patients, our customers, and each other is what separates us from other organizations. Our continued success is dependent upon bringing together the brightest minds in business with best-in-class cultivation and elevated patient and customer experiences, so we continue to set the standard for the industry. 

Sound like weed be a good fit?  Here’s where you come in.  

Our next Regional Director of Finance will improve the overall fiscal performance through partnership, thought leadership and decision-making support within the Michigan business unit (Gage, Cookies/Lemonnade, and Pinnacle brands).

You will be challenged to work both strategically and tactically to support the development of our long-term revenue and profit growth plans and forecast processes.

One minute you will be partnering with an operational leader to update Scorecard reporting and metrics to drive continuous operational improvement.

The next minute reviewing production forecasts with Cultivation and other Operational leaders.

And the next minute reviewing and delivering monthly financial reporting to key stakeholders.

Regardless of the task, it’s critical you have strong situational awareness and EQ as you’ll work with diverse stakeholders across the organization.
