The Virginia Cannabis Control Authority has posted nearly a dozen new job openings as Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) considers signing a bill to legalize adult-use sales, Marijuana Moment reports.
The agency posted 11 full-time, salaried positions, including several director and administrative roles essential to launching a new industry.
The General Assembly passed a conference bill last month to legalize adult-use cannabis sales starting January 1, 2027, sending the proposal to Gov. Spanberger for her consideration.
Virginia’s previous governor, Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R), vetoed multiple attempts to establish an adult-use cannabis market.
But Spanberger said during last year’s gubernatorial campaign that she would sign a cannabis sales proposal as governor if one came across her desk.
The CCA job listings include:
- Compliance and Enforcement Director
- Licensing Director
- Chief Licensing and Compliance Officer
- Cannabis Equity Business Loan Administrator
- Compliance and Enforcement Manager
- Compliance and Enforcement Inspector
- Senior Licensing Associate
- Licensing Associates
- Impact Business Support Specialist
- Impact Business Support Team Manager
- Talent and Acquisition Specialist
The listings also include a pool of adjunct instructors in agriculture and hospitality.
The governor has until April 13 to sign the bill, allow it to become law without her signature, or veto the proposal.
