Product Development Coordinator

We are seeking a highly organized and curious Product Development Coordinator to support Terra Mai’s product innovation efforts. This role blends technical precision with design sensibility — maintaining accurate product data while assisting in the development of new finishes, materials, and product lines.

You’ll work closely with the VP of Product Development to manage product information, coordinate testing and documentation, and help bring new ideas from concept to market. This position is ideal for someone who enjoys both analytical work and hands‑on experimentation with materials and finishes.

The ideal candidate will be based within commuting distance of our headquarters in Southern Oregon. Some travel to mills, suppliers, or job sites may be required.

Terra Mai is a leading provider of sustainable and reclaimed wood products, specializing in high‑quality materials for commercial architectural and design projects. We are committed to environmental responsibility and offer a unique range of products that combine beauty, durability, and sustainability. We work closely with architects, designers, contractors, and key specifiers to bring their visions to life with exceptional wood.

The Product Development Coordinator supports Terra Mai’s innovation pipeline by maintaining detailed technical data and assisting with the creation, testing, and documentation of new products.

You will help manage the product database, specifications, and certifications while also contributing creatively to new product finishes, prototypes, and material explorations. Your work ensures that every Terra Mai product — from reclaimed wood panels to new acoustic and exterior offerings — is accurately documented, visually refined, and ready for market.

This position is ideal for someone who’s equal parts organized and inventive — comfortable with spreadsheets and data but also excited to experiment in the shop.

Material Development: Assist in creating and testing new finishes, materials, and construction methods. Help prepare samples for internal review, photography, and client presentations.

Documentation & Reporting: Prepare product data sheets, technical bulletins, and internal reports for review and distribution. Track and record results from testing and sample development.

Cross‑Functional

Collaboration:

Coordinate with sales, marketing, and operations teams to ensure product data and imagery are current and accessible. Support product launches with up-to‑date specs and materials.

Vendor Coordination: Communicate with suppliers and finish partners to gather technical information, manage testing timelines, and obtain samples or certifications.

Process Support: Assist the VP of Product Development in maintaining the development calendar, logging new concepts, and tracking the status of ongoing R&D initiatives.
