Companies across LBM are restructuring right now.

And they're not looking for order-takers.

They want sales leaders forged in a tough market — people who clawed for deals when the phone stopped ringing.

If that's you, your timing is good.

We know which companies are moving and what they need. Read what's driving it — then let's talk.

"We need a VP of Sales."

That's not a problem statement. That's a symptom.

Before we post a single job, we're asking: What's really broken? What does your culture look like on a Monday morning when pressure hits — not the version on your website?

Most firms skip that conversation. Then wonder why the hire didn't stick.

We don't just fill seats. We solve problems. Misura Group is your go-to leadership executive recruiting firm

Know someone who's built a sales team in lumber or building materials? Tag them 👇

We're placing a Director of Sales for a well-capitalized, independently owned building materials group in Vancouver — 10 locations, $150M revenue, and an aggressive growth plan across Canada.

The opportunity: newly created role, direct report to the CEO, full mandate to build the commercial function (CRM, pipeline, playbook, team).

The right person has led sales in building materials or home building centers, knows how to work with contractor customers, and can introduce structure without losing the culture.

The best roles in LBM don't get posted.

They get filled by recruiters who know the candidate before the search starts.

If you're a sales, operations, or executive leader in building materials — or an adjacent industry like commercial distribution or specialty manufacturing — we want to know you now. Not when you're actively looking.

We've placed leaders across lumber, millwork, truss, wholesale, and home services for 30 years. When a search opens, we call our network first.

Are you in it?

The boom didn't create weak sales leaders.

It made their weakness invisible.

Now the market has turned — and presidents across LBM are cutting ties, flattening structures, and raising standards fast.

The order-takers are being exposed. The competitors are being promoted.

We wrote about what 1929 teaches us about this exact moment. If you're rebuilding your sales team right now, it's worth three minutes.

🏗️ Newly created role. Big canvas. Real foundation. Director of Sales - CANADA.

We're looking for a Director of Sales for a well-established, independently owned building materials group operating across western Canada — 10+ locations, $150M in revenue, and an active acquisition strategy pushing eastward.

This isn't a turnaround. The operational team is strong, location leadership is proven, and the customer base is loyal. What's missing is the sales leadership to unlock what's already there.

You'll report directly to the CEO and own the build: sales structure, CRM, pipeline discipline, training programs, and recruiting. If you've led sales in lumber, building materials, or home building centers — and you know how to earn trust with a tenured team while raising the bar — this one is worth a look.

✅This one doesn't come up often.

We're placing a Vice President/GM for an independent building materials distributor and component manufacturer that has served the upper Midwest for over 50 years — $100M in revenue, deep dealer and builder relationships, and a no-silos culture that most companies only claim to have.

The incoming leader will step into full operational and commercial authority at the Minnesota-based headquarters — P&L ownership, team development, customer relationships, and a seat at the table for everything that comes next.

And there is a lot coming next. The ownership group is growth-focused: organic expansion across a five-state region, plus horizontal acquisition across the upper Midwest. The VP/GM will be the operational and cultural core of that platform — evaluating, integrating, and leading as new locations come online.

The team you'd be inheriting is a genuine asset. Tenured, engaged, and loyal. The mandate is not to reinvent. It's to build on a strong foundation and raise the bar.

If you have P&L leadership experience in building materials distribution or component manufacturing, strong upper Midwest market roots, and the instincts to lead a market-facing organization with a hunter mentality — this is worth a conversation.

Your last bad hire wasn't a talent problem.

It was a trust problem.

When executives don't fully trust their recruiter, they hold back. The toxic department. The margins that have been sliding. The founder who won't delegate.

The recruiter fills the seat. The hire fails. Everyone blames the candidate.

We've spent 30 years in LBM asking the uncomfortable questions most firms won't. That's the difference.
