Summary

Description:
We don't just sell building materials; we Supply. Happiness. Drexel is Team Member-owned and community-driven. With six retail hubs and three manufacturing plants across Wisconsin, we've been a Top Workplace every year since 2011. Why? Because we hire for heart and train for skill. When you join Team Blue, you aren\'t just a team member-you're an owner.

The Mission:

We aren\'t looking for someone to just check the log or place orders. You will be the category manager of all hard and soft surface lines (LVP, tile, carpet, and pad) in our ERP. You sit at the high-stakes intersection of vendor negotiation, data integrity, and operational grit.

About the Flooring Category Manager Role:

  • Category Stewardship: A mindset of ownership over the flooring category\'s financial performance. You treat every dollar of inventory spent on stock and special orders as if it were your own investment.
  • Technical Subject Matter Expertise: Deep, specialized knowledge of flooring materials, unit-of-measure conversions (cartons, square footage, square yards), subfloor requirements, and installation nuances. You are the final authority on product specs and vendor capabilities.
  • Operational Grit: The tenacity to hold manufacturers accountable and negotiate aggressively. You don\'t settle for "standard" freight and material terms; you push for the best possible position for Drexel.
  • Vigilant Inventory Management: An obsessive focus on the "Aging Clock." You have zero tolerance for abandoned special orders, mismatched dye lots, or broken cartons clogging the system.

The Role in a Nutshell:

You own the Flooring Category from birth to end in our ERP. You are the "Strategic Stakeholder" who ensures the team has the right product roadmap to ensure what we promise the builder is exactly what we buy, deliver, and install.

The Drexel Advantage:

The Wealth-Builder

  • ESOP Shares: We don't just work here; we own the place. You'll earn a real stake in the company's success.
  • Profit Sharing: When Drexel wins, our team wins.
  • 401k: A solid foundation for your long-term retirement goals.

Health & Well-Being

  • Comprehensive Coverage: Medical, Dental, and Vision insurance to keep you and your family "weather-proof."
  • Fitness Reimbursements: Annual funds dedicated to your physical health and family activities.
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Confidential support when life gets complex.

Life & Legacy

  • Immediate Paid Time Off: Start with Holiday and Vacation pay from day one.
  • Scholarship Program: We're invested in the next generation-educational support for the children of our team members.
  • Annual Charity Match: We'll double your impact on the causes you care about most.

The "Drexel" Lifestyle

  • Birthday PTO: A paid day off to celebrate you .
  • Product Discounts: Special pricing on the high-quality materials we sell.
  • Plus More: A constant stream of "fun little perks" that make the yard a great place to be.
