  • Strong knowledge of maritime operations, port procedures, freight forwarding, customs processes, documentation, and supply-chain logistics.
  • Experience with project cargo, heavy-lift, or chartering is an advantage.
  • Familiarity with international shipping regulations, customs requirements, and import/export compliance.
  • Excellent organizational and multitasking skills; able to manage multiple shipments and stakeholders.
  • Proven leadership or team-management ability, with strong communication and coordination skills.
  • Problem-solving mindset and ability to handle operational challenges or delays.
  • Strong interpersonal skills for working with port authorities, clients, partners, and internal teams across time zones.
  • Willingness to relocate to Africa and work on-site.
  • Bachelor's degree in logistics, supply-chain, business, maritime studies, or equivalent experience.

Job Responsibilities

  • Oversee end-to-end logistics operations: shipping agency, port calls, cargo handling, freight forwarding, storage/warehousing and distribution.
  • Coordinate with ports, vessels, agents, freight forwarders, customs authorities, warehouses, and other stakeholders to ensure smooth flow of goods.
  • Plan and manage project cargo and heavy-lift operations, including chartering, scheduling, loading/unloading, and documentation, where relevant.
  • Monitor performance metrics: transit times, port handling efficiency, storage utilization, costs, compliance, and quality control.
  • Develop logistics plans and strategies to optimize supply-chain routes, minimize costs, and improve delivery times.
  • Ensure regulatory compliance (local maritime, customs, import/export regulations, safety, documentation, etc.).

Job Benefits

  • Opportunity to work with a well-established pan-African maritime & logistics company with strong regional presence.
  • Provided tools for work such as laptop and mobile and phone.
  • Challenging and rewarding role with wide scope: shipping, supply-chain, freight forwarding, project logistics.
