About this Job
As part of the Product Development/Innovation team, this role will help explore new technologies and new markets for sustainable, renewable raw materials, like wood residuals (think sawdust & shavings from lumber/furniture and floor making industries). The work is very cross-functional and feeds into a portfolio of new business opportunities. We're putting a lot of focus on consumer products, so branding, consumer research, and market analysis are a big part of what you'll be involved in, along with prototyping, business model creation, and vendor/partner coordination.
