Job Description

McMunn & Yates Building Supplies

We're looking for a hands-on merchandising leader who can turn great product presentation into an unforgettable customer experience. If you can walk into a store, instantly see the flow, and know how to make every shelf sell, we want you on our team.

Important:

This is not a desk job. You'll be on the ground, in stores, physically executing plans, moving product, assembling displays, and leading projects.

This role requires working independently, making decisions on the spot, and ensuring consistent standards across multiple locations.

Travel is required to all McMunn & Yates locations across Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Northwestern Ontario. Some overnight stays may be necessary.

What You'll Do

Own the merchandising playbook

- create the annual merchandising plan, store maps, and visual planograms for every branch, ensuring they meet McMunn & Yates Store Standards.

Drive flawless execution

- guide each location on end-caps, flats, dump bins, clip strips, signage, clearance zones, and new plan-o-grams so product turns faster and looks better.

Lead new-store and major reset projects

- assemble fixtures, re-merchandise categories, and optimize space and traffic flow from day one.

Repair and replace warehouse racking and store fixtures

- ensure equipment is safe, functional, and aligned with merchandising needs.

Champion safety and yard presentation

- insist on clean yards, secure fencing, and proper PPE so we protect people and product.

Keep data tight

- document planograms and store maps on the server, update BisTrack, and communicate product changes or discontinuations to all teams.

What You Bring

5+ years of progressive merchandising or retail-operations leadership (building-supply experience a plus).

Proven skill at visual merchandising, space optimization, and planogram design.

Strong communicator able to align Category Managers, Store Managers, and Yard Managers with clear merchandising plans.

Influential leader who can keep multiple teams coordinated and on plan.

Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal supervision while maintaining strong attention to detail.

Analytical mindset and working knowledge of POS/ERP systems (BisTrack preferred) and MS Office.

Valid driver's license and willingness to travel regularly across Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Northwestern Ontario.

Why McMunn & Yates

A proud Manitoba-owned company since 1971 with 21 locations--and growing.

A mission to deliver the best customer experience in the building-supply industry (and the resources to back it up).

Competitive salary, comprehensive benefits, RRSP match, and employee purchase program.

A culture that

"leaves an impression by helping others succeed."
