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
