At SecondShop, we’re a team of Canadians who believe in doing better—for our country, your wallets, and our planet. 
 
We started with a simple idea: why should perfectly good products go to waste or sit unsold when people like you are out there looking for smart ways to save? We have made it our mission to source the highest quality open-box, overstocked, and scratch-and-dent products from the top brands - offering them to Canadians at up to 50% off. But we are not just about savings—we’re about changing how people shop. Say goodbye to paying full price and hello to smarter spending. 

Role Overview:

The Buyer/Planner – Appliances, Furniture & Electronics acts as the account owner for supplier relationships, managing the full lifecycle from onboarding and sourcing through to daily execution and long-term growth. This is a hands-on, operational role focused on ensuring suppliers deliver against commitments, while also driving ongoing improvement in supply reliability, margin performance, and inventory alignment. This role will also play a key role in vendor growth, assortment strategy, and evolving category ownership over time. 

What you'll be doing:

• Own the full supplier relationship—from onboarding to daily execution and long-term growth planning. 
• Actively manage current suppliers, spending significant time weekly chasing orders, resolving discrepancies, and ensuring accurate delivery flow. 
• Negotiate pricing, terms, and access to B-channel and secondary market inventory (e.g., open-box, overstock, discontinued). 
• Surface new sourcing opportunities and bring them forward for evaluation. 
• As processes stabilize, take on more strategic ownership of product lines—growing categories, expanding assortments, and helping shape the merchant strategy. 
• Build buy, sales, and delivery plans based on sales history, demand, and promotions. 
• Leverage analytics to highlight aged inventory, SKU gaps, and supply mismatches. 
• Support automation and smarter decision-making around inventory buys. 
• Maintain balanced inventory levels across warehouses, ensuring availability while controlling cost. 
• Track and adjust orders in real-time based on actual sales, vendor reliability, and market trends. 

Who we are looking for:

• Bachelor's degree in business, Supply Chain, Merchandising, or a related field. 
• 3–5 years of experience in retail buying or planning, ideally in appliances, furniture, or consumer electronics. 
• Deep understanding of merchandising cycles, retail operations, and consumer behavior within the home goods sector. 
• Strong negotiation skills, attention to detail, and ability to manage complex vendor relationships. 
• Proficiency in Excel and ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite, SAP, Oracle). 
• Strong analytical mindset and ability to work in a high-volume, fast-paced environment. 
• Experience with secondary market inventory and B-channel sourcing (e.g., open-box, scratch-and-dent, discontinued) is a plus.  

What we offer:

• A competitive base salary, along with a comprehensive benefits package, including health, dental, and vision coverage. 
• Enjoy the flexibility of hybrid work with occasional travel to attend in-person team meetings or events.  
• Access to exclusive discounts on SecondShop products for yourself and your family. 
• As a growing startup, SecondShop offers ample opportunities to take on new challenges, contribute to shaping the company’s future, and take ownership of key initiatives. 
• Join a passionate and mission-driven team that values collaboration, innovation, and a shared commitment to sustainability and responsible shopping. 
• Align with a company that believes in sustainability, smart spending, and improving the lives of Canadians. You'll have the chance to make an impact every day!
