We are an established multi-national ship-broking firm. We are looking for a dry bulk market "Trainee Shipbroker" to join our dynamic team.

As a Shipbroker, you may cover many disciplines, such as sale and purchase, dry cargo broking, tanker broking or container broking. However, it is more commonplace for Shipbrokers to specialise in one particular area.
Typical responsibilities of a Shipbroker would involve marketing of tonnage (ships) to customers/shippers/charterers. Negotiate spot/time charters to achieve maximum income for the owners.
You would maintain records or tonnage within the company's database.
A Shipbroker is involved in many stages of setting up and negotiating deals, including presenting the business to potential clients, negotiating the main terms of a contract or sale and seeing it through to its conclusion and any follow up that may be involved.
Like any role that involves buying and selling, a good Shipbroker would build up a database of contacts and keep a close eye on the shipping market, interpreting trends and seeing opportunities for clients.

Job Requirement

Key skills and qualifications:

The ideal candidate would hold a shipping degree, commercial degree or similar commercial qualification related to Maritime, Transportation Management, Shipping and Logistics will be an advantage.
Possess good command of English and/or Mandarin (though not a must); any proficiency in a third language like Korean or Japanese will be highly favourable.
Excellent communication and negotiation skills.
Candidate needs to be a team player, able to multi-task and work independently in a fast pace environment.
Having an entrepreneurial nature will be highly desirable along with a strong personal drive to succeed.
Ability to negotiate is vital as this is a principle skill requirement in Shipbroking.
Excellent presentation skills will be required.
Good understanding of accounting and numeracy skills are essential to this job.
Fresh graduates are welcome to apply.
