About the role

Headquartered in North York, ON, with employees in Canada, the US, China and India, NewAge is an industry- leading manufacturer and distributor of premium home improvement solutions.

Our products are sold through major online retailers such as Lowes, The Home Depot, Costco, Amazon, and Wayfair as well as our own e-commerce site. But what makes us unique is that we provide a truly cohesive customer experience, from free expert assistance designing and planning new spaces to delivery and professional installation.

Our collaborative, inclusive team atmosphere nurtures personal growth, career advancement and job satisfaction, as evidenced by our certification as a Great Place to Work in Canada.

With tremendous pride, we continue to receive a growing number of industry accolades including over 75 unique product patents, awards for our team of expert designers, prominent ranking on the Profit 500 list of Canada’s fastest growing companies, and the naming of our founders to the Top 40 under 40 in Canada by BNN Bloomberg.

We are also proud to be the official jersey emblem partner of the New Orleans Pelicans and have forged strategic partnerships with USA Hockey and Habitat for Humanity. These partnerships reflect our passion for teamwork, excellence, and community involvement.

As our journey to becoming the preferred choice for premium home improvement solutions continues, we’re addingambitious, driven, passionate members to our team who are inspired to be their best and ready to make a difference.

As NewAge accelerates growth, our physical presence strategy is critical to helping customers see, touch, and experience our products before purchasing. Reporting directly to the President, the Director of Store Development will lead the planning, rollout, and ongoing execution of our showroom strategy across North America. This includes corporate-owned showrooms, trade partner showrooms, pop-ups, and sub-leased spaces designed to maximize regional sales coverage while managing capital efficiency.

This leader will oversee everything from site selection and lease negotiation to store design, construction, launch, and regional operations support, eventually building out a team of regional managers to support the ongoing operational success of our showrooms.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Real Estate Strategy & Site Selection

  • Use NewAge’s data to pinpoint and pursue specific real estate listings and opportunities that fit our already-defined showroom market strategy, turning our regional plans into real, operating locations.
  • Partner with brokers to source, evaluate, and secure showroom spaces that balance visibility, cost, and customer experience.
  • Explore non-traditional showroom opportunities such as pop-up spaces, seasonal installs, and subleases within complementary retail environments.

Showroom Planning & Execution

  • Lead the end-to-end process for opening new showroom locations: budgeting, lease negotiation, permitting, construction oversight, merchandising, and launch.
  • Select, negotiate and manage relationships with brokers, landlords, contractors and partners.
  • Develop scalable showroom models (small-format, autonomous) optimized for profitability.
  • Ensure each showroom embodies the NewAge brand and delivers a consistent, premium customer experience.

Trade & Franchise Integration

  • Coordinate showroom strategy with franchise territories and trade/B2B partners to ensure a cohesive regional market approach.
  • Optimize how franchisees and trade partners utilize showroom spaces for sales enablement and lead generation.

Operations & Performance

  • Define operational standards and processes for all physical locations.
  • Own showroom capital budgets, track project ROI, and ensure all projects meet cost and timeline targets.
  • Oversee day-to-day showroom performance, either directly or through future regional managers.
  • Track key metrics (traffic, sales conversion, ROI per location) to inform expansion decisions.

SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Real Estate or related field.
  • 8+ years in real estate development, retail expansion, or store operations, ideally in multi-location retail, home improvement, or showroom-based industries.
  • Strong understanding of site selection, lease negotiation, construction timelines, and store financials.
  • Entrepreneurial, resourceful, and hands-on leader who thrives in a fast-paced, scaling environment
  • Creative problem solver who can find low-cost, high-impact showroom solutions.
  • Comfortable working cross-functionally with marketing, sales, franchise, and operations teams.
  • Data-driven, strategic mindset with the ability to execute directly, especially in the early stages before a larger team is in place.
  • Experience building regional teams a plus.

TRAVEL REQUIREMENTS:

  • Up to 40% travel across North America for site evaluations, lease negotiations and store visits
  • Quarterly travel to the Toronto NewAge Experience Centre

NEWAGE OFFERS:

  • Salary and bonus is based on experience and highly competitive for the right candidate
