Massachusetts Green Jobs

We are seeking a VP of Material Strategy & Operations who will join our leadership team and drive the global execution and strategy of the materials we provide to our customers. The Business: Formlabs has three main pillars (hardware, software, and materials) that provide value to our customers and investors. The materials portion represents the highest revenue and margin stream today and is rapidly growing. Materials allow us to expand existing user applications, enter new industries/markets/applications through unique mechanical properties, and create long-lasting partnerships with our customers through our recurring revenue business model. The Operations: As our materials business expands (volume, SKUs, chemistries and printing technologies), we must evolve how we manufacture and distribute these products worldwide. This likely means increasing our global partnerships, adding additional wholly owned manufacturing sites, identifying how vertically integrated each supply chain step should be, and defining how to be the global leader in executing the supply chain. The Technology: Formlabs is a technology company that innovates to provide value to customers in all three pillars of our business. To successfully lead the materials function, technology (chemistry, automation, software, etc.) must be at the core of building, running, and differentiating our supply chain. This includes building state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, partnering with the top chemical providers, and bringing new/unique chemical capabilities to our markets. Although iterative change is nice, we seek someone to lead transformational changes through technology and innovative chemistry. The Opportunity: On our path to becoming the largest 3D printing company in the world, including the most significant materials capabilities, we have and will continue to find adjacent business opportunities to expand our capabilities to drive new revenue and profit streams into Formlabs.
