About this Buyer role at Gomaterials
Gomaterials · Montreal, QC
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source plant and hardscape materials through a B2B marketplace that simplifies procurement in a traditionally outdated industry.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:

- 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

- 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
