Job Description

Team Manager, Vessel Infrastructure & Connectivity Enablement

About the Role

Our vessels are evolving into highly connected, digitally enabled platforms, and the team behind that transformation is just as critical as the technology itself.

We are looking for a Team Manager to lead and develop the infrastructure that supports vessel operations, IoT ecosystems, and next‑generation energy‑efficient ships.

In this role, you will drive digital enablement by setting clear direction, strengthening team culture, and ensuring engineers have the support and resources to deliver future‑ready solutions.

This is a people-first leadership role with global impact.

What You'll Work On

As part of Fleet Technology – Vessel & Cargo Connectivity, you will guide a team working across:

• Onboard digital infrastructure and vessel networks

• Fleet-wide IoT platforms enabling energy efficiency and safety

• Sensors, devices, and connectivity ecosystems

• Integration of new technologies into future green-fueled vessels

• Satellite, cellular, and low-power communication systems

• Evolution and standardization of vessel IT/OT platforms

You will work in a diverse, international environment where collaboration, inclusion, and professional growth are core values. Your leadership will directly influence how our vessels operate, communicate, and evolve.

Key Responsibilities

This role centers on leading people, shaping direction, and enabling high performance. You will:

• Lead, coach, and develop a high-performing engineering team, fostering a culture of accountability, collaboration, and continuous learning

• Set clear priorities and direction, ensuring alignment between team goals and fleet strategy

• Translate business and operational needs into actionable technical initiatives

• Guide the deployment and lifecycle management of vessel networks, IoT platforms, sensors, and communication systems

• Build strong relationships across Operations, Technology, and Commercial teams

• Manage vendor partnerships to ensure quality, performance, and long-term value

• Drive standardization and scalability across fleet solutions

• Create a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment where people can do their best work

Who We’re Looking For

You are a people-focused leader who brings out the best in others while navigating complex technical environments. You bring:

• Experience leading engineering teams, ideally within maritime, industrial IoT, or IT/OT environments

• A people-centric leadership style, with strong communication and coaching skills

• The ability to create structure, set direction, and maintain focus in a complex, fast-moving environment

• Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities, with a pragmatic and scalable mindset

• A collaborative approach, with the ability to build trust and work effectively across functions

• Experience with vessel systems or industrial environments is an advantage, but not a requirement

• Excellent communication skills in English, with confidence engaging both technical and non-technical audiences
