Transaction Coordinator Jobs in Remote, OR (NOW HIRING)

Department: Sales
Reports To: Director of Sales / Store Manager
Classification: Full-Time | Non-Exempt or Exempt as designated
Location: Gold Beach Lumber / Cascade Home Center
Position Level: Contractor Sales 1 or Contractor Sales 2, based on experience and assigned responsibilities

At Gold Beach Lumber and Cascade Home Center, Contractor Sales is about more than selling building materials. It is about becoming a trusted partner to the builders, contractors, tradespeople, and customers who are building the communities we proudly serve.

A load of lumber may become a family's first home. A package of materials may help a local contractor grow their business. A delivery arriving accurately and on time may be what keeps an important project moving.

The Contractor Sales Professional owns those relationships from the first conversation through the successful completion of the project.

This position combines relationship-based selling, building-material expertise, estimating, order management, jobsite coordination, and business development. Successful Contractor Sales Professionals understand their customers' businesses, anticipate their needs, solve problems, and create an experience that earns the next project—not just the current sale.

We provide accurate information, make fair decisions, follow through on commitments, and take responsibility when something does not go as planned. We protect the trust our customers place in us.

Take care of customers, coworkers, and the communities we serve.

Our customers are often our neighbors. We build long-term relationships and recognize that the work we support helps build homes, businesses, and communities.
