Account Executive - Commodities

Full-time

McGill St Laurent


Who We’re Looking For
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.

The Challenge
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.

What You’ll Do
  • Prospect and develop relationships with suppliers and buyers
  • Negotiate purchase and resale pricing
  • Close deals in short sales cycles (often within days)
  • Manage margins in a fast-moving pricing environment
  • Stay involved post-sale to ensure smooth logistics and execution
  • Build and grow your own book of business across North America
What We’re Looking For
  • 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
  • Entrepreneurial mindset — you take ownership and act
  • Organized enough to manage both closing and follow-through
  • Bilingual (French & English)
  • Experience in commodities, distribution, logistics, construction materials, or agriculture is an asset
What’s in It for You
  • Uncapped commissions — your performance directly drives your earnings
  • Entrepreneurial culture — initiative and autonomy are encouraged
  • High-impact role — you own your deals from start to finish
  • Opportunity to grow in a dynamic, performance-driven environment
  • A beautiful office with a golf simulator, gym, lounge, locker rooms and showers
Why This Role Is Different
  • You build something of your own — your book of business
  • You operate in real markets, not theoretical ones
  • You see the full lifecycle of a deal, from sourcing to delivery
  • Your results are directly tied to your effort and decisions
This position requires 100% presence at the office. We believe that this presence encourages interactions that have a positive impact on our performance. In addition, it facilitates better collaboration, increases efficiency, and generates informal learning opportunities through these interactions. This collaborative culture creates a dynamic atmosphere in the office. As a result, we encourage employees to maintain this presence to reap the benefits.

Qui on recherche
Tu es motivé(e), compétitif(ve) et naturellement entrepreneurial(e).

Tu aimes créer des relations, conclure des affaires et trouver des solutions au fur et à mesure. Tu es à l’aise pour prendre le téléphone, générer des opportunités et évoluer dans des environnements rapides où aucune journée ne se ressemble. Que tu viennes de la vente, du trading, de la logistique ou même d’un parcours plus atypique — ce qui compte le plus, c’est ta capacité à prendre des responsabilités, agir rapidement et obtenir des résultats.

Si tu as travaillé dans des rôles à commission, lancé un projet par toi-même ou excellé dans des environnements compétitifs, tu as de fortes chances de bien t’intégrer.

Chez McGill St Laurent , on achète et on vend du bois d’œuvre et des produits agricoles physiques à travers l’Amérique du Nord. En savoir plus ? McGill St Laurent
Il ne s’agit pas de trading financier. Il s’agit de trading de matières premières concret — acheter, vendre, négocier et exécuter de véritables transactions avec de véritables expéditions.
Dans ce rôle, tu développeras ton propre portefeuille d’affaires en établissant des relations avec des fournisseurs et des clients, en identifiant des opportunités et en concluant des transactions dans un marché dynamique. Certaines transactions se concluent en une journée. Les prix évoluent quotidiennement. Les expéditions peuvent prendre des mois. Tu ne fais pas que conclure des transactions — tu en es responsable du début des négociations jusqu’à la livraison finale.

Le défi
Tu évolueras dans un environnement compétitif, axé sur les marges, où la rapidité et le jugement sont essentiels.

Tu devras :
  • Identifier rapidement de vraies opportunités
  • Prendre des décisions de prix et de négociation avec confiance
  • Rester discipliné(e) pour protéger les marges
  • Assurer le suivi de l’exécution sur plusieurs semaines ou mois
  • Ce rôle récompense les personnes qui prennent des initiatives, restent performantes et livrent des résultats de façon constante.
Ce que tu feras
  • Prospecter et développer des relations avec des fournisseurs et des acheteurs
  • Négocier les prix d’achat et de revente
  • Conclure des transactions dans des cycles de vente courts (souvent en quelques jours)
  • Gérer les marges dans un environnement de prix en constante évolution
  • Rester impliqué(e) après la vente pour assurer une exécution logistique fluide
  • Construire et développer ton propre portefeuille d’affaires à travers l’Amérique du Nord
Ce qu’on recherche
  • 2+ ans d’expérience dans la gestion complète de cycles de vente B2B
  • Excellentes compétences en négociation et en développement de relations
  • À l’aise dans des cycles de vente courts et rapides
  • Capacité à prendre des décisions sous pression
  • Esprit entrepreneurial — tu prends des initiatives et agis
  • Assez organisé(e) pour gérer à la fois la conclusion et le suivi
  • Bilingue (français et anglais)
  • Une expérience en matières premières, distribution, logistique, matériaux de construction ou agriculture est un atout
Ce que tu y gagnes
  • Commissions non plafonnées — ta performance détermine directement tes revenus
  • Culture entrepreneuriale — autonomie et initiatives encouragées
  • Rôle à fort impact — tu gères tes transactions de A à Z
  • Opportunité de croissance dans un environnement dynamique et orienté performance
  • Un superbe bureau avec simulateur de golf, gym, lounge, vestiaires et douches
Pourquoi ce rôle est différent
  • Tu construis quelque chose qui t’appartient — ton portefeuille d’affaires
  • Tu opères dans de vrais marchés, pas théoriques
  • Tu vois l’ensemble du cycle d’une transaction, de l’approvisionnement à la livraison
  • Tes résultats sont directement liés à tes efforts et à tes décisions
Ce poste exige une présence à 100 % au bureau. Nous croyons que cette présence favorise des interactions ayant un impact positif sur notre performance. Elle facilite également la collaboration, accroît l’efficacité et génère des occasions d’apprentissage informel grâce à ces échanges. Cette culture collaborative crée une atmosphère dynamique au bureau. Par conséquent, nous encourageons les employé(e)s à maintenir cette présence afin de profiter pleinement de ses avantages.
