Oversee national supplier, production, and distribution networks while bridging strategy and execution to enable historic volume growth. ## Job description ## ABOUT US Cambium is a modern American wood manufacturer, distributor, and technology company connecting and modernizing the wood economy. We work with architects, builders, and leading brands across the built environment, including Amazon, Room & Board, and Equinox. Our work has been recognized by Time's Best Inventions and Fast Company's Innovation by Design Awards. Technology is how we match supply to demand across a fragmented industry. The American hardwood industry has lost more than half its sawmills in the last two decades. Quality trees go to waste, and the US imports more lumber than it produces, even though domestic capacity could meet nearly all of our needs. Until now, this industry forced a choice: local relationships or national scale, meaningful materials or modern efficiency. We don't think those are real tradeoffs. We're building the infrastructure to prove it, with modern software, better supply chains, and a clear view of what comes next: a wood economy that's local, efficient, and built to last. ## About This Role As Cambium’s SVP of Supply Chain, you’ll take the leading role in developing and expanding Cambium’s supply chains across our 3 go-to-market segments: millwork, mass timber, and furniture. You’ll oversee a national supplier, production, and distribution network that includes both vertically integrated hubs and a rapidly expanding ecosystem of third-party partners. You’ll bridge the gap between high-level strategy and on-the-ground execution, creating the critical infrastructure needed to enable historic volume growth. This is a role for a battle-tested operator who embodies Extreme Ownership and thrives at the intersection of people and process management. ## What You’ll Do Here - Design & Execute Fulfillment Strategy: oversee the fulfillment of Cambium’s wood offerings – across the company’s national network of supply partners within select vertically integrated manufacturing/distribution hubs. - Strategic Leadership: work cross-functionally to inform physical product strategy – including SKU architecture, pricing models, product development, and market entry strategies. - Ensure Operational Excellence: Work across Cambium’s internal sites to establish and enforce rigorous quality control and assurance protocols, standardize production efficiencies, and streamline staffing management. - Logistics & Distribution Management: oversee national transportation strategy and warehouse operations, optimizing for both speed and cost-to-serve. - Implement Processes to Enable Growth: manage systems architecture to increase supply chain efficiency while scaling volumes. Own and improve upon core fulfillment metrics (including capacity, throughput rates, COGs, etc). ## Your Skill Sets and Capabilities Include - Proven Scale-Up Experience: 12+ years of leadership in supply chain or operations management, with experience in high-growth scaling. Specific manufacturing and/or distribution experience within the wood products or building materials industry preferred. - Leadership & Cross-Functional Influence: you’re able to translate complex operational constraints into clear strategic narratives for the CEO, Board, and Sales leadership to inform business decisions. - Management Expertise: you’ve overseen high-performing fulfillment teams across multiple geographic sites – both externally facilitated and vertically integrated. You embody Cambium’s “extreme ownership” and “people first” core values in your management approach. - Operational & Financial Rigor: you have a proven ability to design and optimize manufacturing and distribution systems, leveraging data to drive performance improvements. You’re capable of implementing real-time dashboards to drive accountability across production teams – specific experience with NetSuite preferred. - Quality at Scale: You’re well versed in establishing QA/QC protocols (e.g., Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, or ISO standards) that significantly reduced failure rates, waste, and "re-work" costs. Preference for specific experience with wood, lumber, or forest products supply chains.. The Details - This role will report to: Marisa Repka, COO - Salary Range: $210,000 - $260,000 total compensation, commensurate with experience - When: We're looking to fill this role immediately - Where: Baltimore, MD; Washington, D.C, or Duluth, MN (highly preferred). Significant travel required. ## Benefits and Perks - Equity options package - Flexible PTO and schedule - 401k with employer matching - Comprehensive medical, dental & vision insurance - Work with an incredibly smart, diverse, mission-driven team - An opportunity to play a core role in defining our fast-growing company - Volunteer tree planting days Cambium is committed to building an inclusive organization that reflects the diverse communities our team works to serve. We believe that diversity in all its forms (gender, race, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation, religion, veteran's status, disability and more) is essential to imagining and actively building a more just and sustainable future for all. We hope you feel welcome here. Pursuant to the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, we will consider for employment qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records. ## About Cambium ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Cambium builds modern supply chains for the built environment by salvaging waste logs and converting them into sustainable, traceable materials such as Carbon Smart™ Wood and mass timber. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series A – $18.5M raised in February 2025) - **Headquarters**: Washington, DC, USA (with additional offices in Halethorpe, MD; Baltimore, MD; and San Francisco, CA) - **Founded**: 2019 - **Founders**: Ben Christensen (CEO), Marisa Repka (COO/CFO), Theo Hooker (COO), Stephan Herrera (CMO) ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Circular economy / Sustainable building materials / Greentech - **Target customers**: B2B – architecture, construction, real estate developers, and mass timber manufacturers - **Mission**: To reduce the millions of logs wasted each year by creating modern supply chains that deliver high-performance, low-carbon materials for a more sustainable built environment. ## Products & Services - **Carbon Smart™ Wood**: Reclaimed lumber sourced from urban and salvage logs, processed and graded for structural use. - **Mass Timber (CLT)**: The first cross-laminated timber (CLT) product made from salvaged wood, enabling carbon-storing, large-scale construction. - **Supply Chain Technology**: A platform that simplifies sourcing, pricing, and traceability of salvaged wood, connecting suppliers with buyers. ## Market Standing - **Valuation / Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed - **Key Metric**: Annual revenue estimated at $2.1M (LinkedIn data) – private company; total funding raised ~$31.3M across multiple reports (conflicting: $28.5M per Tracxn, $31.27M per CBInsights) - **Notable Investors**: MaC Venture Capital (lead in several rounds), Climate Capital, VoLo Earth Ventures, Revolution Rise of the Rest Seed Fund, Soma Capital, Alumni Ventures, and others. - **Growth Signals**: - Headcount grew 17.8% YoY to 54 employees (as of mid-2026) - Acquired Forward Forestry in August 2024 to expand wood supply - Launched mass timber (CLT) product in early 2025 - 6 active job postings (Senior Software Engineer, SVP Supply Chain, CFO, etc.) - Strong LinkedIn follower growth (+61.8% YoY) ## Competitive Advantages - Proprietary supply chain technology that tracks and certifies each piece of salvaged wood (full traceability) - First mover in producing mass timber from salvaged urban logs, turning a waste stream into a premium structural material - U.S.-based sourcing and manufacturing, reducing transportation emissions - Strong circular-economy narrative and carbon-sequestration benefits ## Strategic Focus - Scaling mass timber production to serve large commercial projects - Expanding the supplier network through M&A (e.g., Forward Forestry) and technology platform - Building out sales and operations teams across multiple regional hubs (Baltimore, Washington DC, San Francisco, Southeast U.S.) - Driving adoption of Carbon Smart™ Wood as a standard alternative to virgin lumber ## Why Work Here - **Culture & Mission**: Deeply mission-driven company tackling climate change and wood waste – attractive to purpose-oriented job seekers - **Work Model**: Hybrid–remote blend; employees work from home and in-office (offices in Washington DC, Baltimore, San Francisco) - **Team**: Lean but growing (54 employees), collaborative startup environment with flat hierarchy - **Open Roles**: Senior-level positions (Engineering, Supply Chain, Finance, Partnerships) indicate scaling phase - **Perks**: Not detailed but likely include equity, flexible work, and impact-driven culture (typical for VC-backed greentech startups) ## Sources 1.
