Your Profile
Wherever your career has taken you so far, the main thing is that you are committed to building a startup as the next chapter of your professional journey.
You have proven success as a founder, OR proven top pedigree in a leading role in a startup with significant impact on the success of the company, OR a proven exceptional record in the shipping industry.
You are a natural at all things customer-facing, have the energy to put yourself and your product out there in the market, and the gravitas to persuade and inspire confidence in C-level stakeholders, when it counts.
You excel at creative problem-solving in uncertain situations, pragmatic execution with limited resources, and combine yours hands-on skills with the power to shape a long term vision.
When working with others you show that you have mastered a diverse communication toolkit, can collaborate effectively, and people gravitate to you as a natural leader.

If you have logistics experience that is a plus, but not a requirement.
Fluent English is a must. German is a plus. So are other languages.
