Lead the ongoing success and growth of the Flooring Departments for one of Manitoba's most established building supply retailers.
Our Client
Our client is one of the province's best-known and most highly regarded building materials retailers. They have a firm focus on customer experience and pride themselves on providing the best customer experience in the market. Servicing all of Manitoba and reaching Saskatchewan and Northern Ontario, this business continues to look for ways to grow the business and extend its reach, all the time ensuring that customer experience is maximized.
The Flooring Department is an established department that enjoys a good reputation with both retail customers and contractor customers. Providing both sales and installation services, the department is a major profit centre for the building centre and currently has around 8 employees including sales, scheduling, and warehousing and close commercial relationships with a number of established third-party installers.
The Role
As Department Manager, your role is to mentor and develop the team, lead from the front in customer interactions and sales, manage purchases and ensure margins are maintained, work closely with the suppliers, and ensure that the customer experience is exceptional throughout the sales and installation process.
The team is relatively established and has shown strong growth in recent years. We need a commercial leader, someone adept at growing a profitable business and building a culture of success (and therefore loyalty) within the team.
The Person
We are looking for someone with experience leading teams within a building materials or retail environment. We are open to candidates who have been managing installation teams if they have a strong customer service orientation. We need someone who enjoys mentoring others, has a strong grasp of numbers, and has experience managing pricing and/or budgets. Knowledge and experience in the building materials industry or construction industry would be highly valued. Importantly, we need someone who has exceptional customer service skills and leadership qualities.
Why you should apply
This is a long-term career opportunity for someone within a positive workplace, that supports its people and provides a genuinely 'family-orientated' environment. There is a competitive base salary, profit share, RRSP, Group Insurance, and Company Vehicle. Monday - Friday with only the occasional Saturday shift.
