Commodity Trader

Overview

Tampa International Forest Products (TIFP) is a fast-growing wholesale trading company with an entrepreneurial spirit, based in Tampa, Florida. Founded nearly 50 years ago, we’re part of a parent company that includes 10 successful trading firms across North America. That means we have the resources, insights, and support of a large organization, while still keeping the close-knit, high-energy culture of a smaller team.

With a strong market reputation, a proven track record, and a ‘work hard, play hard’ environment, TIFP is the place for ambitious traders ready to build their careers and be rewarded for results.

We’re now looking for an entrepreneurial trader (or team) to help us expand beyond lumber into new product categories. From rubber and glass to paper, seed, or fertilizer, the opportunities are wide open. With the backing of our infrastructure, support, and capital, you’ll have the freedom to build a new vertical from the ground up—and the financial upside to match!

• Identify and develop trading opportunities in new product markets outside of traditional lumber, preferably in areas you know well.
• Build and manage supplier and customer relationships
• Leverage our experienced operations team to scale efficiently
• Collaborate with a high-performing group of traders while carving out your own niche
• Bring competitive, entrepreneurial energy to grow a profitable department

• Proven experience in trading, wholesaling, or sales (any industry/product background welcome)
• Entrepreneurial drive with a track record of building relationships and spotting opportunities
• Competitive mindset and strong desire to grow something of your own
• Comfort in a fast-paced, high-reward environment
• Self-motivated and resourceful, with a business-builder mentality

Have experience as a product rep or in sales but feel like you haven’t been rewarded to your full potential? This opportunity offers full transparency, unlimited earning potential, and the backing of a proven platform. If you’re ready to take your career to the next level, we want to talk—especially with entrepreneurial individuals eager to build something new and thrive!
