Why Mammoth? 

Joining Mammoth means being at the forefront of a crucial shift in global supply chains, driven by both environmental necessity and economic efficiency. Global supply chain disruptions are growing at an alarming rate and the impact is being felt universally on the bottom line ($1T by 2030) . At the same time, over half of global emissions come from consumer products, but the vast majority of these (90%) come from supply chains that are hard for companies to manage. Studies show that a third of these emissions can be abated through relatively straightforward measures, such as product and logistics optimizations.

We believe that supply chain management must evolve to meet the demands of this new world, and that better business practices will result in better businesses. This role offers a unique opportunity to gain exposure to a rapidly evolving industry, work directly with experienced founders, and contribute to meaningful change. You'll gain practical experience in a supportive, collaborative environment that values innovation and impact. Plus, you'll be part of a mission-driven company that's helping to reduce carbon emissions and improve global supply chain resilience.
