Regional Director

Goodwill Industries, Ontario Great Lakes is a mission-driven social enterprise changing lives and communities through the power of WORK. With more than 50 locations across Ontario and continued expansion planned, Goodwill is entering an exciting phase of growth-opening multiple new stores and strengthening its regional leadership structure.
To support this growth, Prime Management Group Inc. is partnering with Goodwill Industries, Ontario Great Lakes to recruit a Regional Director, a senior operational leader responsible for a multi-site retail region spanning Hamilton, Halton, Brantford, Oakville, GTA, and north to Newmarket.
This is a newly structured fourth region designed to support expansion, operational excellence, and leadership development. The successful candidate will lead approximately seven retail locations (growing with new openings), oversee a team of roughly 500 team members indirectly through Store Managers, and play a key role in upcoming store launches, including Etobicoke, Kitchener-Waterloo, and Brantford.

The Opportunity
The Regional Director will balance strong retail business acumen with a deep commitment to Goodwill’s mission. While performance metrics, P&Ls, sales targets, and operational KPIs are essential, success in this role requires a leader who understands how to develop people, foster resilience, and build sustainable performance through coaching and accountability.
This is a highly visible leadership role with significant field presence, requiring regular travel across the region.
