What are the responsibilities and job description for the Terp Wizard Wanted: Join Pronoia Labs as Our Next Flavor Alchemist position at turn?
We're on the hunt for a Terpene Flavorist to help push the limits of what’s possible in cannabis vape flavor. If you can translate a feeling into a flavor profile and you know your way around the science of formulation… This gig is for you.
About Us:
We are a passionate team of professionals who support turn, a dynamic lifestyle brand,renowned as a top-selling cannabis entity operating across multiple states within the US.
At turn we don’t just make cannabis products, we build flavor narratives. Our vapes don’t taste like generic carts, they taste like midnight drives with the windows down, like nostalgia with a spark, like what you actually want from your sesh.
We operate under the ethos of "it's your turn," a slogan that captures our belief in transformation and opportunity, whether it's a verb to signify change or a noun representing a chance to make an impact. Our R D lab is brewing up the next wave of functional and non-alc bevs, all while our craft beers and seltzers are already making noise in the market.
Flavor’s just the beginning.. We're here to shift the culture.
Your Mission
- Blend: Formulate terpene profiles for our expanding lineup—distillate, CDT, live resin, rosin, botanical.
- Lead: Run monthly sensory panels with the team and tastemakers. Capture what hits and what misses.
- Drop: Concept and create flavors for our seasonal vape drops and collabs. Flavor drops with meaning.
- Translate: Work with our co-packers to turn your lab work into production-ready greatness.
- Document: Keep that notebook clean. We move fast, but we play compliant.
What You Bring
- A degree in food science, chemistry, biochem, or you’re just really f**ing good*.
- 1 year in cannabis or food/bev formulation. You get flavor.
- Experience working with botanical terps and understanding their behavior in different oils.

Bonus
- You’ve launched vape SKUs or built a line from scratch.
- Familiar with COAs, METRC, and all that behind-the-scenes regulatory wizardry.
- Passion for product storytelling. You care about why a flavor hits.
Why Join Pronoia?

- Work in a space where ideas move fast, egos don’t, and weird is welcome.
- Collaborate on drops and projects that actually excite people (and smell amazing).
