We are looking for a knowledgeable and versatile Marine Operations Specialist to join our team at KTB Marine ( ), a marine operations and supply chain consultancy with a strong niche position in the maritime ecosystem.
This is a role for someone who brings genuine depth in maritime operations — whether from a port, terminal, vessel, or commercial shipping background — combined with the analytical capability and communication skills to translate that expertise into client-facing work. You are not a narrow technical specialist. You are a maritime generalist: someone who understands how the industry works across its moving parts, engages credibly across operational and commercial topics, and can produce structured, polished materials for professional audiences.
Your work will span several areas: supporting the development of marine operations frameworks and policies for client terminal projects; providing research and analytical support on maritime and supply chain topics; contributing shipbroking administrative and operational support; and adding meaningfully to KTB Marine's collective maritime knowledge base as we grow our service offerings.
Because we are a small organization, your contributions will be visible from day one. You will work directly with the CEO and senior team, with genuine room to grow as the firm scales.
