VP, Commercial

About Gantri Gantri is the product innovation foundry for the design industry. We built the simplest way for designers, brands, and creators to launch category-defining products at a fraction of traditional costs. Every product is made on demand at our Digital Factory in California from Gantri PlantPolymers, high-performance bio-polymers that replace oil-based plastics. Since 2017 we've launched more than 200 products with leading designers and won more design awards than any other manufacturer in America, including Fast Company's Most Innovative in Design and TIME's Best Inventions. In 2026 we launched Gantri Wireless, the biggest leap forward in lighting in decades: full-powered light anywhere you go. The role We are hiring a VP Commercial to own revenue and growth across the company. You will lead marketing, creative, sales, and customer experience as one commercial organization. Our team already knows the furniture and design industry well. We have strong relationships with interior designers, architects, and design-led brands, and a growing roster of trade and wholesale accounts. What we need next is someone who has done the other half: built a product-led brand into a household name and scaled it through large national retailers. If you have taken a brand like Sonos, Dyson, Fellow, Ember, or Nest from a design-community favorite to a presence in Best Buy, Target, Crate & Barrel, West Elm, or Williams-Sonoma, and know how to grow brand demand and retail distribution together, this role is for you. This is a growth role first. You will spend most of your time on revenue, pipeline, and retail partnerships. You also need the taste and judgment to oversee a design-led brand and creative team without turning it into a performance-creative shop.
