TalentSphere is currently recruiting on behalf of a well-established building materials retailer in the GTA for a Store Manager with strong lumber buying experience.

About the Role

We are seeking a Manager who will oversee lumber and building materials purchasing while managing day-to-day store operations. The ideal candidate will have solid experience buying from major distributors, strong staff management skills, and a leadership style focused on motivation, retention, and creating a positive workplace culture.

  • Drive strong customer service standards across the store
  • Monitor inventory levels, pricing, and supplier relationships to ensure product availability and profitability
  • Collaborate with ownership and the broader team to support business growth and operational excellence

Requirements

  • Proven experience in lumber buying/purchasing within the building materials industry
  • Strong knowledge of key distributors such as Dolman, Goodfellow, Stella-Jones, and similar suppliers
  • Demonstrated staff management experience, including scheduling, coaching, and team leadership
  • Ability to create and maintain a positive work environment focused on motivation and retention (rather than traditional hierarchical or high-pressure styles)
  • Solid understanding of store operations, including openings/closings and daily workflow
  • Excellent communication, organizational, and customer-service skills
  • Reliable transportation and ability to work full-time in the GTA

Ideal Background

Candidates currently or previously working in management or senior buying roles at Home Hardware, Rona, Home Depot or similar independent building supply / lumber retailers in the GTA are strongly encouraged to apply.What We Offer

  • Competitive base salary of $125,000 per year
  • Performance bonus of approximately 10%
  • Opportunity to take on a meaningful leadership role in a growing organization
  • Supportive environment that values positive culture and strong customer service

This is a priority search with a target start ideally by November or December. Strong candidates will be reviewed promptly.If this opportunity aligns with your experience and leadership style, please submit your resume for confidential consideration. TalentSphere looks forward to connecting with experienced lumber and operations managers across the GTA.
