Executive Assistant to CEO/COO

Minneapolis, MN

At Minnesota Cannabis Services, we’re not just building businesses — we’re building the people who make them great. Our team partners with leading operators across cultivation, manufacturing, distribution, and retail to deliver world-class expertise in legal, finance, analytics, marketing, HR, and technology.

We’re looking for professionals who take pride in their work, move with purpose, and thrive in fast-changing environments. The kind of people who hold themselves to high standards, think creatively, and find satisfaction in solving hard problems.

When you join our team, you’ll work alongside some of the most experienced leaders in the industry — professionals who share their knowledge freely and lead by example. You’ll be challenged, supported, and trusted to take ownership of meaningful work that shapes the future of one of the fastest-growing industries in America.

About the Opportunity

This is not your typical administrative role. As the Executive Assistant to the COO of a rapidly growing multi-state cannabis operator, you’ll gain hands-on experience in how real businesses are built, scaled, and led at the highest levels. You’ll work side-by-side with a C-suite executive who values drive, precision, and initiative—offering direct mentorship in entrepreneurship, leadership, and business strategy.

If you are an ambitious, competitive, and disciplined young professional looking for a fast track to executive-level exposure, this role represents an unparalleled opportunity to accelerate your career. You’ll be embedded in daily operational decision-making and cross-departmental projects that shape the future of one of the nation’s fastest-growing cannabis companies.

Key Responsibilities

  • Manage and prioritize the COO’s calendar, meetings, and communications across multiple business units.

  • Track and follow up on initiatives and directives with department heads and project teams.

  • Support business development, negotiations, and strategic planning activities.

  • Conduct data entry, research, and documentation for executive projects.

  • Prepare reports, summaries, and presentations for internal and external stakeholders.

  • Manage information flow and maintain alignment between the COO, Directors, and senior managers.

  • Assist with project management, ensuring milestones and deliverables are achieved on time.

  • Support in reviewing key operational metrics, financial summaries, and pipeline initiatives.

Who You Are

  • Highly ambitious and goal-driven; thrives in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment.

  • Confident communicator—professional, persuasive, and capable of representing the COO in high-stakes interactions.

  • Intellectually curious and hungry to learn about entrepreneurship, leadership, and business operations.

  • Organized, efficient, and proactive in anticipating needs before they’re stated.

  • Values integrity, accountability, and results over rhetoric.

  • Comfortable handling confidential information with absolute discretion.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Finance, Communications, or related field (or equivalent experience).

  • 2+ years of professional experience in business administration, project coordination, or operations.

  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills.

  • Proven ability to manage competing priorities and meet tight deadlines.

  • Strong analytical, organizational, and follow-through abilities.

  • High proficiency in Google Workspace and Microsoft Office; CRM or ATS experience a plus.

Why Join Us

At our company, competitiveness drives innovation and meritocracy fuels advancement. We reward results, not tenure, and empower those who take ownership and deliver. Working directly with the COO means daily exposure to decision-making at the highest level—offering insights into scaling multi-state operations, managing high-performing teams, and executing complex projects.

If you’ve ever wanted to understand how great companies are built from the inside out—and you’re willing to work hard, stay disciplined, and learn fast—this is where your professional foundation will be forged.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
