Strategy & Operations Lead

<h2>What we do</h2>
<p>Cambrium is the new chemical company, engineering molecules with absolute precision to enable performance that didn't exist before. We built an AI engine that designs scalable molecules we can manufacture into performance chemicals, enabling our customers to create products that outperform.</p>
<p><strong>We are an equal-opportunity employer and value diversity. We consider all applications equally regardless of race, colour, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, or gender identity. We strongly encourage individuals from groups traditionally underrepresented in tech to apply. Please apply even if you don't match the criteria exactly. We believe potential and determination beat experience.</strong></p>
<h2>Your role</h2>
<p>As Strategy &#x26; Operations Lead, you will sit at the centre of Cambrium's strategic and operational engine, reporting directly to the CEO. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role for someone early in their career who is structured, intellectually curious, and ready to take on significant responsibility. You will work across the most consequential workstreams in the company, from strategic projects and investor relations to board governance and company-wide rhythm-keeping, giving you a front-row seat to how an ambitious deep-tech company is built.</p>
<p>This is not a support role. You will take full ownership of critical workstreams, drive them to completion, and raise the bar on how we operate. Your responsibilities will change over time and will always remain somewhat flexible. If you are craving a neatly scoped, predictable list of responsibilities, this is not the role for you.</p>
