Refrigeration Market Leader – Drive Opportunity. Win New Business. Strengthen Contractor Partnerships.
Tropic Supply is seeking a Refrigeration Market Leader who excels at building trusted relationships and enjoys actively opening new doors. This role is ideal for someone who supports contractors with knowledge and care, yet brings the energy to expand a territory, introduce solutions to new prospects, and help customers discover why Tropic is the partner they can rely on for the long run.
For over 50 years, Tropic Supply has supported Florida’s refrigeration professionals with dependable products, practical expertise, and a culture built on trust, service, and deep relationships. Contractors count on us because we show up consistently, understand their world, and treat every interaction with purpose.
Why This Role Matters
This is not a transactional sales role. At Tropic, our Territory Sales Managers operate as Market Leaders, trusted by contractors and respected across the industry for their expertise, relationships, and consistent follow-through. Refrigeration contractors face challenging schedules, complex installs, and urgent service needs. They depend on knowledgeable partners who respond quickly, communicate clearly, and help them stay ahead. As a Refrigeration Market Leader, you will be that partner, the person they trust for answers, support, and dependable follow-through.
Your work will strengthen existing customer loyalty and introduce Tropic’s value to new prospects across your market. You will play a key role in shaping territory strategy, uncovering opportunities, expanding reach, and supporting Tropic’s continued growth throughout Florida.
