A well-established shipping business is looking to add to its commercial support function with the hire of a detail-focused professional to support post-fixture and invoicing activity.
In this role, you will take ownership of maintaining voyage and financial information within the internal operating system, ensuring records are kept accurate and up to date. You will be involved in preparing and issuing key commercial invoices, including freight-related billing and demurrage, while also reviewing and processing supplier invoices such as bunker costs and brokerage payments.
The position will also involve tracking receivables, following up on overdue payments, and calculating laytime in line with contractual terms and agreed clauses. You will work closely with both Chartering and Operations, so the ability to collaborate well across teams is important.
To be considered, you should have completed a relevant apprenticeship or similar training, ideally within shipping or a related sector. Previous experience in a comparable post-fixture, operations support, or commercial shipping role would be beneficial. The successful person will be methodical, numerate, and comfortable working accurately with detail, while also being confident communicating in English both written and verbally. Strong Microsoft Office skills are expected.
In return, the company offers a broad and varied workload, the opportunity to develop further and take on responsibility over time, and a supportive team environment. The package includes a competitive salary, and a range of additional benefits such as monthly perks, cycle-related benefits, travel expense support, language training, and refreshments in the office.
You would be joining a friendly and collaborative team based in modern offices in Hamburg, in a well-connected location close to the waterfront.
