• Drive voyage optimization and proactive mitigation of off-hire risks, delays, and operational inefficiencies

• Collaborate closely with operations, finance, and trading teams to ensure accurate freight invoicing, reporting, and settlement processes

• Champion process improvement initiatives that enhance operational transparency, speed, and control

Technology, Automation & Innovation

• Lead the adoption and optimization of digital freight and chartering tools, including IMOS and related shipping platforms
