Vantage Point is looking for a Sales Account Manager for a Sothern California territory that has proven experience in Cannabis Sales.

About the Company:

Vantage Point is a premium house of flower, rooted in developing the best and most premium cannabis companies, brands, and products in the market.

Vantage Point was born out of Satya Capital, a legacy cannabis operator in the medical market and early legalized space since 2013. Satya was initially founded by long-time entrepreneur and finance veteran Nishant Reddy and is co-owned and operated today by Nishant and partner Simmon Saraf. "Satya", which is named after the Sanskrit word for "truth", was founded with the intention of bringing truth, transparency, and institutional sophistication to the nascent cannabis industry.

Since its inception, Vantage Point has built several successful cannabis companies, including a fully vertically integrated operations in CA and CA’s most popular cannabis flower brand, A Golden State, and a leading effects-based flower band called PHASES.

About the Brands

A Golden State:

A Golden State was born in Northern California under the watch of the Cascade Mountains. What started from humble beginnings, long before the cannabis renaissance, has blossomed into one of California’s leaders in high quality cannabis flower.

Our operation is forward thinking and technically progressive, but our cultivation style remains true to our roots. We water our plants with snowmelt which trickles down from Mount Shasta, and we grow in natural soil derived from coconut hulls, yielding consistently premium flower. Our knowledge as cultivators and connoisseurs has led us to produce highly distinct, exotic cannabis strains.

A Golden State is not a brand or place, it’s a state of being.

PHASES:

Phase in. Phase out. Grown in Northern California using a sustainable combination of bio-minerals, PHASES' new collection offers five categories of approachable, curated cannabis flower for every mood.

Each strain is expertly bred and selected for specific terpene profile, cannabinoid content, and effects. All PHASES flowers are further tested for ideal aroma, crystallization, color, sheen, bud structure, and flavor—for a consistent effect and experience.
