About the position

Dometic is a global market leader in the mobile living industry. Millions of people around the world use Dometic products in outdoor, residential, and professional applications.

Igloo Products Corp. is an iconic, fast-growing American brand known for its exceptional and durable coolers designed to meet everyday needs. For more than 75 years, Igloo has been a leader in the housewares industry and has evolved into a high-growth lifestyle brand, inspiring outdoor experiences centered around fun, family, and friends.

Founded in 1947 as a metalworking shop that brought fresh cold water to Texas workers in the field, and later inventing the Playmate, Igloo has grown into America’s most recognizable brand of ice chests. The Igloo story spans more than 75 years of delivering coolness to the world. Today, Igloo has over 90% brand awareness, is #1 in market share in the U.S., and is a pioneer in sustainability within its category through the launch of biodegradable coolers and products made with post-consumer recycled resin and other sustainable materials. Igloo also has a growing direct-to-consumer (DTC) business, allowing us to build direct relationships with our consumers. In 2021, Igloo was acquired by Dometic Brands, creating the opportunity to globally grow both brands together.
