ABOUT KING CITY GARDENS 

King City Gardens is a single-state cannabis operator based in Ohio, growing and producing  cannabis from cultivation through processing and manufacturing. We're building a logistics  operation that reliably gets our products from our facility to dispensary partners across the state — and we're looking for a Delivery Route Planner & Driver Manager to lead that effort. 

THE ROLE 

As our Delivery Route Planner & Driver Manager, you'll plan and optimize the delivery routes that  carry our wholesale cannabis products from our cultivation and distribution facility to licensed  dispensary accounts throughout Ohio — and you'll manage the team of drivers who run those  routes every day. This is a full-time, on-site role based at our Ohio facility. You'll be the person  making sure deliveries run on time, drivers are supported and safe, and every load moves in full  compliance with Ohio's cannabis transport regulations.

• Ensure every delivery is properly documented and tracked in line with Metrc and Ohio Division  of Cannabis Control requirements. 

• Monitor delivery performance and look for ways to make our routes faster, safer, and more cost effective. 

• Be the go-to person for drivers in the field and for dispensary partners on delivery questions. 

What We're Looking For 

• 3+ years in route planning, dispatch, logistics, or fleet/driver management. • Experience managing a team of drivers or frontline field staff. 

• Comfort with route optimization/fleet software and delivery performance data. • A valid Ohio driver's license and clean driving record. 

• Cannabis or other regulated-industry (food & beverage, pharma, distribution) experience is a  plus. 

• Must be 21+ and able to pass a background check and obtain Ohio Division of Cannabis Control  employee registration.
