About Cambium
Cambium operates a digital marketplace and supply chain platform for wood, connecting local suppliers such as forest managers, truckers, arborists, sawmills, and landowners with buyers including general contractors, architects, sawmills, and manufacturers. The platform uses AI to coordinate supply chains and offers materials like salvaged English walnut, Southern yellow pine, and thermally modified ash. Its flagship material, Carbon Smart Wood, is made from salvaged and underutilized American trees that would otherwise go to waste, with each board traceable from source to structure.
Administrative Assistant, Part-time job description
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.
