MFUSED is a self-funded, founder-led cannabis brand and one of the largest minority-owned cannabis brands in the U.S. Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Scottsdale, Arizona, we are known for clean extracts and proprietary hardware. We sell in five states today — Arizona, Washington, New York, Missouri, and Maryland — with New Jersey and Utah next and more to follow, including international markets.
The Project Coordinator, Business Development keeps our market-entry work organized and moving. This role supports the expansion team by gathering and organizing information, tracking tasks in Asana, researching new markets, validating that research against primary sources, and analyzing data that helps leadership decide which states MFUSED enters next. Just as important, this role keeps each market-entry project on the tracks: in scope, on timeline, and on budget — from first look through the go decision and handoff to the Market Execution team, which owns the launch from there. This is not a people-leadership role — there are no direct reports. The coordinator drives momentum instead: pushing owners to hit their deadlines, keeping the expansion team and its leadership in the loop, and managing up when leadership needs to weigh in. Success depends on collaboration across teams. The coordinator works with people at every level — ownership groups, operators, and internal employees — and handles information that requires strict confidentiality.
- This role may be great for you if you are a paralegal wanting to make a shift or recent graduate student wanting to get into cannabis.
Project Coordination & Team Support
- Track expansion tasks, owners, and deadlines in Asana; keep workstreams current and flag anything at risk of slipping
- Gather and organize documents, data, and updates from internal teams and outside partners so the team works from one source of truth
- Prepare agendas, notes, and follow-ups for expansion meetings, and make sure action items get closed out
- Prepare the handoff package at the go decision — plan, open items, contract dates, contacts, and budget to date — and walk the Project Coordinator, Market Execution through it
Scope, Timelines & Budget
- Keep projects in scope — when work drifts beyond what was agreed, flag it and route the change for a decision before it grows
- Keep timelines honest — track milestones, surface slippage early, and hold owners to their dates
- Monitor project spend and track it against budget — flag variances before they become surprises
- Onsite at our Scottsdale, AZ office, Monday–Friday
- This role works with international teams and partners: evening and weekend work will be required to meet business needs — expansion doesn't always keep office hours

- Medical through Regence BlueShield with two plan options — including a $0/month employee-only HSA plan with a $500 annual company HSA contribution — plus dental (Regence DPPO) and vision (VSP)

- Benefits eligibility at 30+ hours per week; coverage starts the first of the month after 30 days of employment
THE HONEST PART
This isn't a role where you sit in one lane and watch the work go by. It's demanding, with high expectations, real responsibility, and real pressure. It also delivers the kind of growth and experience most people wait years to get. Here's what you're signing up for, and why we think it's worth it.
- You'll help build what MFUSED becomes next. Expansion here means new states, new countries, and entirely new lines of business. It also means making our existing strategic partnerships stronger, from improving deals and terms with key vendors to working with contract manufacturers and licensing partners. One month you might be mapping a state's licensing path; the next, you could be helping shape a venture we've never tried before or sharpening the terms of a partnership that powers our growth. If you like variety, you'll get plenty of it.
- You'll work at the pace of our CEO and Founders. Expansion projects are led from the top, so you'll be in the room with the people who built MFUSED and moving at their speed. They set a high bar, move quickly, and expect the same focus and follow-through from the people around them. That calls for a work ethic that shows up every day: owning your commitments, staying a step ahead, and delivering when it counts. In return, you'll get a front-row view of how leadership thinks, decides, and builds a successful company, the kind of exposure that accelerates a career like almost nothing else.
- You'll do more than your job title says. We're growing fast, and the best projects happen when people step in wherever they can make a difference. You'll pick up work outside this description, and that's where the real learning happens. People who lean in here gain more experience in a year than many roles offer in five.
- You'll work at the frontier. Cannabis is one of the fastest-moving industries in the country, and the rules are still being written, especially in new markets. There won't always be a playbook, which means you get to help write it. If figuring things out energizes you, you'll fit right in.
- Your growth runs through the heart of the business. The people who advance in this role get genuinely curious about contracts, regulatory compliance, and how both shape the business. They also build a strong command of finance: reading financial statements (P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statement), understanding how cash moves through a deal, and knowing the accounting basics behind the numbers. You don't need to be an expert on day one. Bring the curiosity, and you'll learn how deals come together, how regulations shape strategy, and how the numbers drive decisions, right alongside the people making them.
