This is a full-time on-site role serving as the day-to-day compliance lead at the facility and providing real-time oversight of compliance practices, documentation, GMP execution, and inspection readiness. The position focuses on routine compliance execution, site-level GMP and quality checks, accurate recordkeeping, Metrc and compliance administration, document control, training coordination, corrective-action follow-up, and regulatory readiness across departments. This role is expected to act independently on routine compliance, recordkeeping, document-control, training, GMP-readiness, and related site-level matters. Issues involving formal regulatory interpretation, material risk, significant repeat noncompliance, regulator enforcement, serious product-quality concerns, recalls, destruction, or other gray-area matters must be escalated to the General Manager and Corporate Compliance Director. Duties and responsibilities : Routine Compliance Oversight. Perform regular on-site compliance walk-throughs to verify adherence to applicable regulations, company policies, and approved SOPs, including access controls, sanitation, waste handling, storage, documentation, packaging and labeling practices, and general inspection readiness.

QA/QC Checks. Perform targeted quality and compliance checks involving packaging, labeling, sanitation records, product handling, operational logs, documentation practices, and other regulated activities. Regulatory and Quality Records. Maintain and review site-level compliance, GMP, quality, training, and regulatory records to ensure they are complete, current, retrievable, and inspection-ready. Good Documentation Practices. Promote and monitor appropriate documentation practices, including timely and accurate completion of required records and correction of documentation deficiencies. Document Control. Administer site-level document control, including maintaining current approved SOPs and forms, tracking revisions and effective dates, removing obsolete versions from use, and coordinating required training following document changes.

Support accurate Metrc and related compliance records, including routine transaction review, reconciliation, cleanup, corrections, and investigation of identified discrepancies.

Operational teams remain responsible for performing required day-to-day inventory transactions accurately and timely. Corrective Action and CAPA Administration. Track compliance findings, GMP deficiencies, deviations, corrective actions, and CAPAs through closure. Maintain action owners, due dates, documentation, and status, and escalate overdue, repeated, ineffective, or higher-risk issues. Site Self-Inspection and Readiness. Maintain a routine site self-inspection process designed to identify regulatory, documentation, GMP, and operational compliance deficiencies before formal regulatory or corporate audits.

This role supports but does not own the formal Corporate Compliance internal audit program. Employee Credentials and Training Records. Review employee credentials, access requirements, required training records, and related compliance documentation and identify gaps requiring follow-up. Compliance and GMP Training Coordination. Coordinate site-level compliance, GMP, documentation, and refresher training. Maintain the site training matrix and associated records.

This role does not independently authorize product recall, destruction, or other material disposition unless specifically delegated under approved company procedures. Complaints and Adverse Events. Support site-level intake, documentation, fact gathering, and follow-up for product complaints or potential adverse events and immediately escalate potentially serious or reportable matters. Recall and Traceability Readiness. Maintain site-level records and readiness necessary to support traceability exercises, mock recalls, and actual recall activity when required. Regulatory Inspections. Prepare for state inspections and serve as the primary on-site compliance representative for routine inspections when appropriate.

Promptly escalate non-routine questions, material findings, formal interpretation issues, enforcement concerns, or other regulator-sensitive matters to Corporate Compliance. Cross-Functional Compliance Monitoring. Coordinate with Operations, Facilities, Security, Human Resources, Safety, and other responsible functions when their activities affect regulatory or GMP compliance.

Identify gaps, communicate them to the responsible department, and track resolution when unresolved issues create compliance or quality risk. SOP and Process Improvement. Partner with process owners to identify SOPs, forms, controls, or workflows that are incomplete, impractical, outdated, or inconsistently followed. Process owners remain responsible for the substantive operational content of their procedures. The On-Site Compliance Manager reviews for compliance, GMP, documentation, and control requirements. Regulatory Awareness. Stay current on applicable New York cannabis compliance requirements, agency guidance, and material operational changes, and communicate potential impacts or required actions to the General Manager and Corporate Compliance Director.
