We are a vertically integrated agricultural organization operating across two complementary business entities, which include a 250,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art cannabis production greenhouse and an organic alfalfa farming operation. With a dedicated onsite team of 40+ employees, we focus on operational excellence, sustainability, compliance, and long-term scalability across regulated agricultural environments.

The Vice President of Operations (VP of Operations) will lead day-to-day operations across both business entities, serving as a critical member of the executive leadership team. This role is responsible for driving operational excellence, accountability, and organizational stability within a complex, fast-paced production environment.

Reporting directly to the CEO, the VP of Operations will partner closely with Human Resources, the Head of Greenhouse Operations, and the Manager of Farming & Crop Production to oversee production performance, workforce planning, compliance, and continuous process improvement. The VP of Operations will ensure alignment between people, processes, and production goals while fostering a culture of consistency, trust, and high performance across diverse teams.

This role requires a seasoned, steady leader with a strong operational mindset, exceptional communication skills, and the ability to bring structure, clarity, and follow-through to both strategic initiatives and daily execution. The ideal candidate is comfortable operating in highly regulated environments, balancing short-term production demands with long-term organizational health and scalability.
