Senior Director of Product
About The Position
As Senior Director of Product at Cambium, you'll be the most senior product leader in the company — owning the vision, roadmap, and product process across our entire platform. You'll work extremely closely with the CEO and VP of Engineering to shape product strategy, and you'll be responsible for how clearly and consistently that strategy is communicated across every team. You'll manage our Senior Product Manager and The Senior Product Designer while also rolling up your sleeves and doing IC product management work. Cambium operates across the full wood supply chain — logistics, sustainability data infrastructure, enterprise relationships — all moving at once. You'll own product across buyer-facing experiences, supplier-facing tools like Mill Market, and the data layer that ties it together. This role is ideal for a generalist product leader with a startup or founder background who thrives in complexity, leads with AI-first thinking, and treats the product like their own business.
Requirements
- 8–12+ years in product management, 4+ in a senior/lead role at an early-stage startup.
- Track record of owning product end-to-end across multiple surfaces in complex, multi-sided businesses.
- Comfortable planning and conducting discovery research — forming evidence-based hypotheses, not just gut-driven roadmaps — especially in early-stage product areas where the problem space is still being defined.
- Exceptional at product communication — you've built the rituals and cadences that keep an entire company aligned on product direction, not just the product team.
- AI-forward: you use AI tools daily and have conviction about where AI meaningfully improves product experiences.
- Technically fluent — comfortable in architecture, API, and data modeling conversations.
- Experience managing PMs and designers, with a genuine investment in their growth.
Nice To Haves
- Experience in workflow software, logistics, supply chain, or marketplace platforms.
- Experience at a climate- or sustainability-focused company.
- Founder background a plus.
- An excellent sense of humor. Our team is fun and playful!
Responsibilities
- Own the product vision and roadmap across Cambium's platform. Partner with the CEO and VP of Engineering to keep it sharp, cohesive, and grounded in business strategy and technical reality.
- Own product communication across the company. Build and run the rituals — roadmap reviews, launch comms, planning readouts — that keep every team aligned on what's being built and why. Co-own these with the Senior PM.
- Be a player-coach. Manage and develop our Senior Product Manager — a domain expert whose knowledge you'll lean on heavily and help grow — and our Senior Product Designer. Work as a tight unit with both to drive discovery, design, and delivery.
- Bring an AI-first perspective to everything — both in your own workflow and in Cambium's product vision, from supply chain matching to automated reporting to surfacing insights.
- Drive product-market fit and growth across Mill Market, Client Dashboards, and future platforms — owning acquisition, activation, retention, and cross-functional experimentation.
- Lead discovery and research across both sides of our marketplace, and translate insights into clear product requirements.

- 401k matching
- Comprehensive medical, dental & vision insurance
- Work with an incredibly smart, diverse, climate mission-driven team
