Summer Internship - Commodity Trading

Tampa International Forest Products (TIFP) is a leading forest products trading company built for driven, entrepreneurial people. Our traders run their own desks — sourcing products, building relationships, analyzing markets, and closing deals. No two traders operate the same, creating a fast-paced, hands-on, business-minded environment.
