About The Position

You’re driven, competitive, and naturally entrepreneurial.

You like building relationships, closing deals, and figuring things out as you go. You’re comfortable picking up the phone, creating opportunities, and operating in fast-moving environments where no two days look the same.

Whether you come from sales, trading, logistics, or even a more unconventional background — what matters most is your ability to take ownership, move quickly, and deliver results.
If you’ve worked in commission-based roles, built something on your own, or thrived in competitive environments, you’ll likely fit right in.

At McGill St Laurent, we buy and sell physical lumber and agricultural products across North America. Want to know more? McGill St Laurent
This is not financial trading. This is hands-on commodity trading — buying, selling, negotiating, and executing real deals with real shipments.
In this role, you will build your own book of business by developing relationships with suppliers and customers, identifying opportunities, and closing transactions in a fast-paced market.
Deals can close in one day. Prices move daily. Shipments can take months.
You don’t just close deals — you own them from negotiation to final delivery.

You’ll operate in a competitive, margin-driven environment where speed and judgment matter.

You’ll need to:
Identify real opportunities quickly
Make confident pricing and negotiation decisions
Stay disciplined to protect margins
Follow through on execution over weeks or months
This role rewards people who take initiative, stay sharp, and perform consistently.
