Senior Product Manager
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 12, 2026. First seen by Alion on Nov 10, 2026.
About Us
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.
About This Role
The Mass Timber movement is a fast-growing trend in construction that builds offices, schools, and warehouses from wood instead of steel and concrete. Operators in Mass Timber place a high value on responsibly sourced wood, and that’s why several Fortune 100 companies are already buying their wood from Cambium.
We’re hiring a Senior Product Manager to own the software we use to validate and visualize sustainable sourcing practices. You’ll collaborate with our go-to-market team to unlock product-market fit and turn software into a major growth lever for the Mass Timber business unit.
What You'll Do
Own the product roadmap for the Mass Timber business unit.
Run lots of discovery. The most important part of your job is defining the problems we need to solve and uncovering the right solutions. You’ll partner with Design and Engineering to interview, experiment, ship, and iterate.
Become a domain expert. Your goal should be to be able to answer questions about Mass Timber from anyone in the business.
Drive a steady release drumbeat. We believe learning fast requires shipping fast. The Technical Program Manager owns delivery, and you’ll work closely with them to make sure their sprint map matches your roadmap.
Organize and run impactful meetings. These will be with your partners in Engineering and Design, as well as with stakeholders from across the business. Meetings are expensive, so you should take the care to plan them deliberately.
Spend time with the data. You’ll need to deeply understand the supply chain data we’ve already collected, and build the repeatable process by which we collect more.
You May Enjoy This Role If…
You like discovery. This is where we are counting on you the most. You need to be obsessed with talking to customers, relentless about figuring out what problems to solve, and ruthlessly skeptical about whether your solutions are good enough.
You like working closely with engineering and design. We believe strongly in empowering our engineers and designers with context, and solving problems collaboratively. Your teammates should be helping shape your PRDs from the first draft.
You like defining your own surface area. We don’t know exactly what platform slices you need to own to be successful. You’ll need to help us figure that out, and you’ll need to be flexible as the business needs change over time.
You like working on go-to-market strategy. Some PM jobs don’t involve working with Sales. This isn’t one of them; Sales will depend on you to help figure out how to bring your product to market.
You believe in “strong opinions, loosely held.” Our team works through problems with lively discussion, and we encourage disagreement. We don’t care who is right; we care about finding the right answer.
You May NOT Enjoy This Role If…
You like writing highly prescriptive specs and tickets. Your engineering teammates are counting on you to provide context and define outcomes, not to pre-solve every edge case.
You want to run Agile rituals. That job lives with our Technical Program Manager.
You prefer working on established products. You won’t be handed a blank slate, but you also won’t be getting a thriving userbase. There’s a lot of whitespace you need to fill.
You prefer working with technical audiences. We’re a lumber company. Outside of the product and engineering teams, most of your coworkers don’t have a background in the software industry. They won’t know your jargon or use your frameworks; you’ll need to learn theirs.
