Business Development & Sales — AI Chartering Solutions

ShipLinker is hiring a results-driven Business Development & Sales professional to bring our AI chartering platform to the global shipping community. In this role, you will own the full commercial cycle — opening doors with shipowners, charterers, and fellow brokers, converting them into ShipLinker subscribers, and nurturing long-term relationships that turn first-time users into advocates.

About The Role

You will act as the face of ShipLinker in the chartering market, building a book of business across owners, charterers, and brokerage houses while championing how AI can streamline their day-to-day workflow. This is a hunter-and-farmer role: equal parts new business development and account management.

Key responsibilities

• Build and maintain trusted relationships with shipowners, charterers, and brokerage firms across your network.
• Drive adoption of ShipLinker's AI-powered chartering platform and subscription services through targeted outreach, demos, and consultative selling.
• Represent ShipLinker at industry events, conferences, and client meetings to grow brand presence and pipeline.
• Gather market feedback from clients and prospects to inform product direction and positioning.

What we're looking for

• An existing network among shipowners, charterers, or shipping agents — a significant advantage.
• An entrepreneurial mindset, with genuine enthusiasm for innovation and technology in shipping.
• Excellent negotiation, communication, and interpersonal skills.
• Working familiarity with maritime chartering practices and documentation (fixture notes, recap, charter parties).
• Self-motivated, target-driven, and comfortable operating independently on a commission-based structure.

What we offer

• Uncapped commission — high-earning potential with no ceiling on what you can take home.
• Flexible work arrangements — work from where you do your best business.
• Ground-floor opportunity — join a fast-growing, tech-driven shipping startup reshaping how the industry charters vessels.
