Train to Lead. Prepare to Run a Store. Build Your Future with Bloom Montana.

Bloom Montana is proud to offer a Store Director Trainee Program, a hands‑on leadership development opportunity designed to prepare the next generation of Store Directors across our growing Montana dispensary network.

This six-month structured training program places high‑potential leaders alongside an experienced Store Director to learn the operational, leadership, compliance, and financial disciplines required to successfully run a Bloom MT dispensary.

The goal of the program is simple: develop exceptional leaders who are fully prepared to step into a Store Director role when an opportunity becomes available anywhere within the Bloom Montana retail network.

This role is ideal for individuals who want to grow into a senior retail leadership position within the fast‑growing cannabis industry and are willing to invest the time and effort required to master the responsibilities of running a high‑performing dispensary.

As a Store Director Trainee, you will spend up to six months working directly under the mentorship of an experienced Store Director while learning every aspect of dispensary leadership.

During the program you will gain hands‑on experience in:

• Retail leadership and team development
• Cannabis compliance and regulatory operations
• Inventory and financial management
• Customer experience leadership
• Sales performance and store analytics
• Operational execution and store accountability

Upon successful completion of the training program, trainees may be considered for promotion into a full‑time Store Director role as openings occur across Bloom Montana locations.

Because this role is designed to prepare leaders for the broader Bloom MT network, trainees must be open to placement at any Bloom Montana dispensary when promoted.

While in the trainee role, responsibilities will mirror those of a Store Director while allowing time for development and mentorship.

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to:

• Work directly with an experienced Store Director to learn the leadership expectations required to operate a Bloom MT dispensary
• Assist in leading, mentoring, and developing store staff to build a high‑performing retail team
• Support scheduling and staffing plans to ensure appropriate coverage across all operating hours

• Build product knowledge to help educate customers on cannabis products and responsible use

• Assist in monitoring sales performance and store metrics
• Participate in reviewing daily, weekly, and monthly sales performance reports
• Work with store leadership to identify opportunities to improve store performance and customer engagement

What you bring to the table:
