# Chartering Manager - Panamax

> Nexus Marine · London, United Kingdom · Full-time · Posted 2026-11-12

**Workplace:** on_site

## Description

We're looking for a Chartering Manager to fix and employ Panamax vessels at a new, data driven dry bulk operator. You'll be on a real operator's desk: chartering in ships, fixing cargoes and driving P&L, while using AI to speed up the work and see the market more clearly than a traditional desk.

## What you'll do

-   Produce sharp, accurate voyage estimates and stay close to the P&L on every fixture
-   Charter in and employ Panamax tonnage on voyage, time-charter, period and COA terms, and fix cargoes against the book
-   Negotiate fixtures through to conclusion, including charter party terms, and hand them cleanly to operations
-   Position and employ vessels to maximise earnings, working closely with operations through the voyage
-   Build and maintain relationships with owners, charterers and brokers, and develop new cargo and tonnage
-   Follow freight markets, supply and demand and cargo flows, and turn that into clear commercial views the team can act on
-   Work with our AI engineers to speed up estimates, analysis and workflow, and to gain an edge

## Requirements

-   At least 2 years' experience in chartering on a Panamax desk
-   Very analytical and data-driven
-   Passionate about using AI in the real world to speed up workflows and gain an edge
-   Strong on voyage estimates, charter party negotiation and Panamax dry bulk trades
-   Comfortable building and holding relationships with owners, charterers and brokers
-   Commercially minded, decisive and at ease in a fast-moving market
-   Familiarity with FFAs and how they sit against the physical book is a plus, but not a requirement

## Benefits

-   Tangible impact: your fixtures will directly drive when and where we move our vessels, with real P&L attached
-   Be an early employee at an innovative startup, working directly with the founders
-   Help build the shipping company of the future, with AI at its core
-   A chance to use your chartering experience on an AI-native desk, not a traditional one
-   Competitive compensation in line with market rates
