SVP of Supply Chain Operations

Cambium•Baltimore, MD

11d•$210,000 - $260,000•Hybrid

About The Position

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. 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.
