Woodland Building Supply is seeking a hands-on Branch Manager to lead our retail store, showroom, lumberyard, and warehouse operations.

We're a locally owned supplier serving contractors, builders, remodelers, property managers, and homeowners throughout Philadelphia.

Sales & Customer Service

• Drive branch sales, gross profit, and customer satisfaction.
• Build relationships with contractors and repeat customers.
• Coach employees on selling, product knowledge, and add-on sales.

Employee Leadership

• Supervise, schedule, train, and develop store, yard, and warehouse employees.
• Set expectations, coach performance, and hold employees accountable.
• Manage attendance, productivity, staffing, and overtime.

Inventory & Operations

• Maintain inventory accuracy, stock availability, and proper storage.
• Oversee cycle counts, shipping, receiving, deliveries, and inter-branch transfers.
• Coordinate purchasing needs and resolve inventory discrepancies.
• Reduce stock-outs, material damage, and operational errors.
• Maintain a clean, safe facility and ensure equipment inspections.

Financial Accountability

• Meet sales and gross-profit goals while controlling expenses.

• Understanding of sales goals, gross margins, and labor expenses.
• Hands-on leadership style and strong problem-solving abilities.

Preferred

• Lowe's, Home Depot, Pro Services, or independent lumberyard management experience.
• Knowledge of lumber, doors, windows, hardware, millwork, flooring, and cabinetry.
• QuickBooks or inventory management software experience.
• Bilingual English/Spanish skills.

• Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Management, Operations, or a related field preferred; equivalent industry experience will be considered.
