About The Position

At McGill St Laurent, we buy and sell physical lumber and agricultural products across North America. 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.

2+ years of experience managing full B2B sales cycles
Strong negotiation and relationship-building skills
Comfortable working in short, fast-paced sales cycles
Ability to make decisions under pressure
