About Cantrip

Cantrip makes inspired drinks where vice meets wellness. We’re a fast-growing, irreverent, and creative beverage company on a mission to make social cannabis fun, approachable, and full of flavor.

As we grow, we’re looking for someone who will own the voice of Cantrip in the places that matter most: our inboxes, our comments, and our communities.

Role Overview

This is an entry-level role with meaningful ownership. You will be the front line of the Cantrip experience — managing customer support, responding to social comments, and helping shape and grow our community spaces.

The role blends customer service, community management, brand voice execution, process improvement, and insight gathering. You’ll be the person customers interact with when they have a question, a problem, or a strong opinion. That means your tone, judgment, and clarity matter.

If something keeps confusing customers, you’ll spot the pattern and flag it. If conversations in the comments need direction, you’ll guide them. If our VIP community needs more energy, you’ll help spark it. This role is about protecting and elevating the Cantrip experience wherever our customers show up.

Beyond day-to-day responses, this role is responsible for identifying patterns, improving support systems, and reducing friction over time. You will help build and refine our FAQ documentation, macros, and internal processes so that as Cantrip grows, our customer experience scales with it.
