Job description

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
