Senior Customer Success Manager- APAC (f/m/d)

Tilla Technologies is a growing SaaS start-up with an international team that brings maritime workforce management into the 21st century! Backed by strong investor support and with more than 10,000 crew changes executed in the platform each year and over 500 vessels globally, we’re passionate about solving overlooked problems in the maritime industry.

Over 90% of global trade depends on ships, and the 2 million mission-critical seafarers who operate them to keep our economy running. At Tilla, we’re dedicated to improving their lives, as well as the processes and colleagues on shore that support them. Our platform eliminates inefficiencies in crew logistics, streamlining collaboration between operators and seafarers. By doing so, we make crew operations more humane, efficient, and cost-effective.
