We are seeking an experienced product and business leader to drive strategy, growth, and commercialization for our Lumber and Build Material software portfolio which serves independent lumberyards, hardware stores, home centers, and building materials dealers. The successful candidate will bring deep, hands-on experience within the LBM and hardware industry — including a working knowledge of point-of-sale and yard operations, inventory and purchasing across flexible units of measure (buy by the bundle, stock by the foot, sell by the piece), contractor accounts and job-based pricing, vendor and co-op/EDI relationships, delivery and dispatch, and the margin dynamics of a commodity-driven, cyclical market where independents compete against national chains. This role serves as go-to voice on lumber and building materials, candidates must demonstrate established credibility with dealers, buying groups, and industry communities, and a proven track record of translating the unique pain points of LBM business and P&L outcomes.
