Senior Manager, Southeast Partnerships

Senior Manager, Southeast Growth Partnerships / Full-Time / Southeast, U.S.

Senior Manager of Growth Partnerships (Southeast, U.S.)

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 a Senior Growth Partnership Manager for the Southeast Region, you will focus on building and activating strategic regional partnerships that grow our source-verified fiber supply and market access. Your work will directly help Cambium scale a tech-enabled circular economy, connecting tech-tracked lumber with innovative markets. This role requires working at the supplier, operational, and executive levels to grow traceable wood throughput and develop long‑term, high‑impact relationships.
