• Execute Sale & Purchase (S&P) activities in line with the company's overall fleet strategy.
• Provide the required fleet capacity at the lowest possible cost by chartering vessels in and out based on market conditions and fleet utilization.
• Monitor and analyze the global tonnage market, including chartering activity, Sale & Purchase transactions, newbuilding developments, and vessel recycling activity.
• Drive chartering policies and strategies, including risk assessments related to vessel owners and individual vessels.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with tonnage providers and brokers while defining Höegh Autoliners' broker engagement strategy.
• Ensure fleet and vessel master data is accurate and up to date across relevant IT systems, marketing materials, and standard presentations.
• Collaborate closely with stakeholders across Commercial, Trade Management, Legal, Finance, Insurance, and Technical Management.

What You'll Bring

• Bachelor's degree required; a Master's degree is an advantage.
• Extensive experience in vessel operations, trade management, and vessel chartering.
• Strong knowledge of the end-to-end chartering process, including Sale & Purchase (S&P).
• Excellent negotiation, communication, and relationship-building skills.
• Analytical, commercially minded, and able to make sound decisions in a dynamic market.
• Self-driven, structured, and proactive, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and collaborate effectively across global teams.
