About Redwood Materials Redwood is localizing a global battery supply chain that seamlessly integrates recovery, reuse, and recycling — keeping critical minerals in circulation and driving the energy transition.

Director of Marketing The Director of Marketing will drive the narrative, go-to-market strategy, and digital footprint across all business lines and will lead the small team responsible for executing it. Through strategic product marketing and intentional brand storytelling, this team will establish Redwood’s voice, presence and value across the most effective and impactful channels to engage key audiences and stakeholders including talent, investors, partners, customers, and influential voices. The director will work directly with leadership and functional leaders, serving as the company's primary marketing voice and building systems that grow sustainably as the company scales.
