Marketing Specialist - Goby Walnut & Western Hardwoods (Aurora, OR)
Goby Walnut & Western Hardwoods is hiring a full-time marketing specialist to own the growth of our brand and our sales funnels.
We're a boutique hardwood sawmill, showroom and wood shop in Aurora, Oregon. We source dead, dying and unwanted oversized trees across the PNW and provide slabs, sculptural forms and lumber for high-end furniture makers, designers and architects around the world. Our material ends up in restaurants, hotels and high-end homes.
Why we do this
We work every day to change the way the world looks at wood. We focus on pieces left close to the tree, because they hold a spirit - they have a presence and are a way to pay respect to our natural environment. A walnut tree might grow for 100+ years, so we handle it with reverence and bring out its best qualities while milling and drying. We also believe in reconnecting with the craft by using our hands, which is why our shop is open to the team.
