    • Establish and maintain robust Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for voyage accounting, laytime, and demurrage reconciliation.

    5. Group Strategy & Leadership

    • Manage cross-border financial structures, tax optimization, and compliance across our international offices.
    • Lead, mentor, and empower a high-performing finance team, fostering a culture of analytical excellence and commercial collaboration.

    • Minimum of 10 years of experience in corporate finance, treasury.
    • Mandatory: Deep industry expertise in Maritime / Dry Bulk Shipping, with a strong practical understanding of voyage accounting and physical vs. paper markets.
