About Squier’s Specialty Elixirs Squier’s is a chef-founded cannabis-infused beverage and edible company on a mission to elevate the way people experience cannabis. Built around real fruit, culinary integrity, and functional innovation, we’ve grown into one of the most respected brands on the East Coast — and we’re just getting started.
Our THC-infused elixirs, cocktails, seltzers, and gummies are redefining what it means to feel good. We believe cannabis should be accessible, enjoyable, and consistent—rooted in transparency, flavor, and intention.
The Role: Director of Marketing (aka Brand Builder + Vision Driver) We’re looking for a marketing powerhouse who’s ready to do more than just lead. This is a hands-on, full-stack marketing leadership role where you’ll drive brand growth, lead launches, write copy, build campaigns, plan events, support sales, and shape the future of the company.
