Job Description
GoMaterials is one of Canada's fastest-growing companies, recognized by Deloitte, the Globe & Mail, and the Lazaridis Scaleup Program. We’re revolutionizing how landscape contractors source plant and hardscape materials through a B2B marketplace that simplifies procurement in a traditionally outdated industry.
Since our inception, we have helped landscapers save time, money, and stress and plant over 1.5 million plants and trees. Led by a young and eager group of entrepreneurs, GoMaterials is aggressively expanding across North America. We are therefore looking for amazing people to add to our team!
About the role:
As a Buyer, you'll own the full procurement cycle — from executing orders and negotiating with suppliers to spotting issues before they reach the customer. You'll work independently, move fast, and bring both precision and problem-solving to everything you do.
What you'll do:
- Execute orders end-to-end with full accountability for quality, speed, fill rate, communication, and price
- Negotiate supplier terms and apply value engineering to maximize order profitability
- Catch procurement issues early, escalate with context, and follow through on resolution
- Manage a high-volume workload across competing priorities without dropping the ball
- Collaborate with your team lead and senior buyers, stepping in where the team needs you
- Follow established processes — and flag improvements when you see them
What you'll bring:
- 2–4 years in procurement, operations, or supply chain
- Track record of executing POs independently with strong attention to detail
- Confident negotiator who builds lasting supplier relationships
- Calm under pressure — you solve first, escalate when it counts
- Strong prioritization skills across multiple simultaneous orders
- Proficiency in Excel and Microsoft Office Suite
- English fluency required
Bonus points for:
- Startup or high-growth environment experience
- Diploma or degree in logistics, supply chain, business, or related field
- Familiarity with GSE or similar procurement platforms
- Exposure to value engineering or cost optimization
- ERP or procurement system experience
- Background in landscaping, horticulture, or wholesale
Here’s what to expect if you’re invited to interview…
📞 Recruiter screen – A quick chat with our recruiter to get to know you and your experience.
🤝 Interview with our Operations Manager – A deeper conversation to understand your skills and how you’d fit with the team.
📋 Case study interview – An opportunity to showcase your problem-solving and real-world thinking.
🎯 Final interview with our Operations Director – A conversation with leadership to wrap up the process and discuss next steps.
