Who We're Searching For

We are a team that works to support and sustain an environment of psychological safety at sea and shore, and we are very dedicated to ensuring that environment for our own team and collaborators as well. If you value teamwork, attention to detail, a fast-paced environment, collaboration, curiosity and can think on your feet you will feel very much at home.

On top of engaging with our seafarers from more than 30 countries, we work closely with colleagues and stakeholders in Singapore, Manila, Mumbai and Constanta, so fluency in English is essential.

You're comfortable in the Microsoft ecosystem — PowerPoint, Excel, SharePoint, and Viva Engage are tools you navigate with ease. Beyond that, what matters more than experience is curiosity. If you have a flair for technology and don't shy away from exploring tools like Power BI, Power automates or Power Apps, we'd love that. Any hands-on experience is a bonus, not a requirement.
