Buyer

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source plant and hardscape materials through a B2B marketplace that simplifies procurement in a traditionally outdated industry.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
