- Represent the company at industry events, trade shows, and networking forums to enhance brand visibility.
- Prepare and present proposals, bids, and tenders for large-scale projects.
- Monitor and report on market conditions, client feedback, and project performance to senior management.
- Bachelor’s degree in Business, Maritime Studies, Logistics, or a related field (Master’s degree preferred).
- Minimum of 5 years of experience in chartering or business development within the maritime industry, with a focus on MPP or project cargo vessels.
- Proven track record of securing high-value, project-based contracts in the maritime or logistics sector.
- Strong understanding of MPP vessel operations, chartering processes, and project cargo logistics.
- Exceptional negotiation, communication, and relationship-building skills.
- Ability to work independently and thrive in a fast-paced, target-driven environment.
- Proficiency in market analysis and strategic planning.
- Willingness to travel as needed for client meetings and industry events.
