## About the role

Your mandate is to act as a mini-CEO : rapidly identify, develop, and scale new product lines and ventures within Formlabs. We value bias for action, comfort with ambiguity, and deep ownership over outcomes. We are seeking results-focused leaders/entrepreneurs who can quickly pivot and take charge. Your contribution will span the product cycle, from deep R&D to global-scale shipping across hardware, software, materials science, and business functions.

## What they're looking for

- You are technical. You likely have an engineering degree of some sort. Or better yet, you left school a bit early to go build something you were too excited to wait for
- You are a tinkerer and/or an ex-co-founder who thrives on complexity and doesn’t wait for permission. You get results
- Proven Entrepreneurial Experience: You have previously built a business or significant venture (technology startup experience is ideal), demonstrating a high tolerance for risk and a bias for action
- Comfort with Breadth: You have direct experience creating multi-disciplinary technology products and understand the full lifecycle from ideation to scale
- Ownership & Hustle: You possess the “get it done” mindset—the hustle to do whatever it takes, whether it’s pitching a customer, setting up a supply chain, or debugging a prototype
- Adaptive Leadership: You excel at both hiring and leading teams and are energized by a constantly changing, high-standard environment
