About The Position

Formlabs is building the tools that enable anyone to bring their ideas to life, from cutting-edge products to life-saving medical devices. Their 3D printing technology is used by over 50,000 industry leaders worldwide, including Apple, Google, Tesla, New Balance, and NASA. They are a team of builders, engineers, and innovators focused on reinventing how the world makes physical things. This opportunity is for Form Now, a new service-based initiative designed to bridge the gap between desktop 3D printing and industrial-scale production. The role requires an entrepreneurial leader to join a small, elite team at their Headquarters in Massachusetts, to scale this initiative from pre-launch to a national level. This is a mandate to build a business, acting as a mini-CEO to identify, develop, and scale the Form Now service model within Formlabs. The company values a bias for action, comfort with ambiguity, and deep ownership over outcomes. They are seeking results-focused leaders and entrepreneurs who can transition between high-level Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy and "on-the-floor" operations. The individual will own the evolution of this service, aiming to redefine how engineers and designers access manufacturing.
