Brand Ambassador- Sacramento

Brand Ambassador (Full-Time) – Sacramento

Location: California Pay: $25.00 per hour Schedule: Full-Time | Evenings & Weekends Required

About Buddies

Buddies is a leading West Coast cannabis brand focused on quality, accessibility, and consistency. We partner closely with dispensaries across California to deliver products customers trust while continuing to grow our presence in key markets.

Position Overview

We are hiring a Full-Time Brand Ambassador to support our California territory. This is a field-based role focused on building relationships with dispensaries, educating budtenders and customers, and supporting in-store promotions and events.

Travel & Driving Requirements

Regular travel throughout the employee's assigned territory is an essential function of this position. Brand Ambassadors are required to independently travel between retail locations, promotional events, trade shows, company locations, and other assigned work locations, which may include multiple locations during the same workday.

Driving is an essential function of this position due to the frequency of travel, changing event and retail schedules, transportation of company materials and event supplies, and the need to travel efficiently between assigned locations. Due to the frequency, location, scheduling, and nature of customer visits, Buddies reasonably believes that reliance on alternative forms of transportation would not be comparable in travel time or cost to Buddies.

Employees must maintain a valid driver's license throughout employment, maintain a driving record that permits the employee to lawfully and safely perform the driving responsibilities of the position, and remain legally eligible to operate a motor vehicle for company business. Employees who use a personal vehicle for company business must maintain legally required automobile insurance and meet applicable company driving requirements. Buddies does not require the employee to own the vehicle used for business travel, provided that the employee has reliable and lawful access to an appropriately insured vehicle.

• Educate budtenders and customers on products, promotions, and brand messaging.


• Execute in-store demos, pop-ups, and promotional events.


• Provide feedback from the field on product performance and customer insights.


• Support sales initiatives and brand visibility in assigned territory.


• Transport and manage promotional materials as needed.

Requirements

• Must be at least 21 years of age in accordance with state cannabis regulations.


• Reliable transportation and ability to travel within assigned territory; valid driver's license and insurance required for roles involving driving.


• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.


• Professional, dependable, and self-motivated.


• Comfortable working evenings and weekends based on business needs.


• Ability to perform physical job duties, including standing for extended periods and occasionally lifting up to 50 pounds, with or without reasonable accommodation.

Preferred Experience

• Cannabis retail, brand ambassador, or field marketing experience.


• Customer-facing roles such as sales, hospitality, or promotions.

Compensation & Perks

• $25.00 per hour.
