Procurement Specialist

About Us

Cambium uses technology to make it easy to access material we normally waste. We work across the lumber supply chain to turn salvaged material into Carbon Smart Wood™. From arborists, sawmills, and cities to manufacturers and wood products companies, Cambium connects this material to the market while providing transparent chain of custody reporting and impact metrics. Mill Market is one of Cambium’s technology products that connects tree service (arborist) companies to sawmills that will buy their logs–providing a revenue source for tree services and a log supply source for sawmills. 

What You’ll Do

This role will be responsible for growing and maintaining Cambium’s network of log sourcing partners (tree services) across the Southeastern US. To further our mission of making salvaged material more accessible, you will be on the front lines building relationships with the folks who are the first to remove the material and have the most say in whether or not it gets utilized in its highest and best use. You’ll work remotely, but must live in NC, SC, GA, AL, MS, LA, Northern FL, or Eastern TX. Roles and responsibilities are as follows:

• Respond to and manage all inbound requests of tree service companies
• Educate prospective users on the log selling process
• Follow up with tree service leads to convert them into suppliers
• Make in-person visits where appropriate to close deals with high-potential suppliers

Maintain & Grow Existing Supplier Accounts (40%)

• (This will only become part of your role once you have established supplier accounts)

Documentation & Process Improvement (20%)

• Record interactions with tree services in HubSpot

About You:

• You have 2+ years of experience in a sales and/or customer service role

• You are flexible and willing to answer phone calls at odd hours (whenever our partners need support)
• You do not wait to be told what to do, and instead, you bring your own clarity and proactively solve problems. 
• You do not need to know anything about trees or lumber! We will teach you. We are looking for sales and customer service experience.
• You are willing to travel one week per month.
