Role: General Manager - Crewing
Location: Europe
Focus: Strategic Crew attraction
We’re supporting one of the world’s most respected names in global ship management, a company recognised for its technical excellence, operational reliability, and commitment to people. With a large, diverse fleet and a strong international presence, this is an organisation that combines global reach with a deep sense of responsibility towards its seafarers. Its culture is built on professionalism, collaboration, and a genuine focus on long-term relationships.
The Role
As General Manager of Crewing, you’ll take full ownership of the company’s European crewing function, leading, developing, and inspiring teams across multiple locations. Your focus will be on ensuring the consistent attraction, retention, and development of skilled seafarers who embody the company’s values and standards.
This is a strategic leadership role that blends people and performance. You’ll have the freedom to refine processes, strengthen engagement, and create a unified culture that connects sea and shore. From improving retention to driving operational efficiency, you’ll play a central role in shaping how the organisation delivers excellence through its people.
About You
You’re a credible and influential leader who understands what it takes to manage crewing at scale. With experience in ship management or a similar maritime environment, you combine a strong operational foundation with the ability to inspire and lead others.
You lead with clarity, consistency, and empathy. You’re commercially aware, culturally intelligent, and able to influence across regions and disciplines. Above all, you understand that success in crewing comes down to people — and you have the drive to build a culture that attracts, develops, and retains the very best.
What’s Next
This is a senior, visible appointment within a globally recognised brand, offering the platform to shape crewing strategy on an international scale. If you’re ready to take on a leadership challenge that blends global influence with people impact, I’d be happy to share more details in confidence.
