This position works cross-functionally with suppliers, internal sales teams, and dealer customers to drive program performance and market share growth.

  • Collaborate with internal teams (sales, leadership, operations) to align program initiatives and drive growth
  • Analyze program performance, market trends, and supplier competitiveness within building materials
  • Evaluate and onboard new suppliers and vendor partners aligned with category strategy
  • Resolve issues related to orders, pricing discrepancies, claims, and service between dealers and suppliers
  • Lead, coach, and develop team members within the department
  • Represent the organization at industry events, supplier meetings, and dealer engagements

Qualifications:
  • Bachelor’ s degree or equivalent relevant industry experience
  • Experience within building materials, lumber (LBM), millwork, construction products, or related distribution/manufacturing industries
  • 5+ years of experience in a commercial role such as sales, account management, vendor management, purchasing, or category management within a related industry
  • 3+ years of experience in a leadership role with responsibility for managing or developing team members
  • Experience negotiating vendor agreements, supplier contracts, pricing structures, rebates, and freight terms
  • Experience working in a dealer-facing, customer-facing, account management, or channel sales environment
  • Experience collaborating cross-functionally with suppliers, sales teams, and internal leadership
  • Demonstrated ability to manage both strategic initiatives and day-to-day program execution
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to build relationships across suppliers, customers, and internal stakeholders

Compensation:
  • Base salary in the 140k - 175k/year range, plus annual bonus
  • Medical, dental, vision, HSA, and FSA benefits
  • Company-funded retirement program with employer contributions and profit sharing
  • Paid time off including vacation, sick time, personal days, and holidays
