Curio•Towson, MD

6d•$50 - $55•Onsite

About The Position

At Curio Wellness we empower people to thrive by adapting plant nature to human nature. We are committed to transforming the conversation around cannabis, fostering a deeper understanding of its benefits, and ensuring that every product we offer meets the highest standards. Be bold. Be exceptional. Be well. The Retail Marketing Manager is a hands-on, field-facing role responsible for the tactical execution of in-store merchandising and promotions across Far & Dotter locations, paired with a strategic eye toward building long-term brand equity. This person lives at the intersection of operations and brand: the immediate need is to be in stores making sure displays, signage, and promotions are executed to standard day one. But the future of this role will be in shaping the brand's retail identity and customer experience. Success requires equal comfort with a planogram and a brand brief.

Requirements

3–5+ years of experience in retail marketing, field marketing, visual merchandising, or trade marketing; multi-location retail experience strongly preferred.
Proven ability to execute merchandising and promotional programs at the store level with attention to detail and consistency.
Demonstrated brand-building sensibility—able to think beyond execution to how the retail experience shapes brand perception.
Strong project management skills; able to juggle multiple locations, timelines, and priorities simultaneously.
Comfortable working in a fast-paced, hands-on, field-based environment with regular travel between store locations.
Familiarity with cannabis regulatory and advertising constraints (or ability to learn quickly).
Must be 21+ and able to pass a background check per Maryland cannabis regulations.
Based in Maryland with a valid driver's license and reliable transportation.
