About Centaurus Farms At Centaurus Farms we develop cannabis cultivation and production facilities and produce high-quality flower and extracted products. We are the parent company operating businesses in Colorado and Kentucky and are exploring opportunities for expansion in Delaware and other locations. Every time we grow something we record what went in, what came out, what was different, was it as good as last time — or better.

The next time we grow the same strain we use the data to get it right rather than relying on someone’s memory. There is no shortcut. Plants take their time. We just make sure we learn everything we can every time we cultivate, harvest, or trim something. Craft sets our standards. Consistency sets our schedule. Quality is what we deliver to our customers — every time.

All part of our focused vision and what makes us a different strain of cannabis company. The role

You will work directly for the CEO and give him a clear view of what is happening in the business. 14er grows, manufactures, and sells cannabis in Colorado and is launching a medical cannabis operation in Kentucky. The work is whatever needs answering that week: reporting, analysis, models, and projects, across operations, sales, and finance.

• Reports to: CEO
• Works closely with: the Controller and the leaders of operations, cultivation, and sales in both states
• Location: Boulder, Colorado. Hybrid, with Tuesday through Thursday in the office as the minimum. Expect more days on site in the first months, to see how the facilities run and get to know the teams, and whenever the work calls for it. Periodic travel to Kentucky

What you will do

• Run the weekly scorecard. Own the executive team's KPI report: production, yields, sales, and labor for both states.
• Measure performance against the production plan. Operations owns the plan. You report each week how each site performed against it and where forecast demand and planned supply do not match.
• Analyze sales and margin. By product, customer, and channel, including pricing and promotion decisions.
• Cover the parent company as well as the operating businesses. Consolidated results, debt and capital, shared costs, and the case for each new market.
• Build and maintain models. Budgets, projections, and capital projects.
• Take on projects. Whatever the CEO needs answered or fixed, from a one-day question to a multi-week piece of work.
• Make reporting repeatable. Replace manual spreadsheets with reports that draw directly from our point-of-sale, track-and-trace, inventory, and accounting systems.
• Report on inventory without owning it. Operations owns the physical inventory and the Controller owns its value. You use both in your reporting.

Your first 90 days

By day 30: you produce the weekly scorecard without help from the CEO.

By day 60: each site's weekly output is reported against its plan, by product.

By day 90: one monthly management report covers both states and the parent company.

What we are looking for

• Four to eight years of analytical work in financial planning, operations analysis, consulting, or banking.
• Self-direction. You take a loosely defined question, work out what is needed, and come back with an answer and its caveats.
• Comfort with messy data. Our systems do not yet agree with each other. You reconcile first and report second.
• Plain communication. You can put a finding in three sentences for an executive and walk a production manager through the detail.
• Willingness to go to the floor. The numbers make sense once you have seen the…
