Maritime Operational Analytics Lead
Remote (UK/EU) | Maritime Technology
An opportunity to join a globally established maritime technology business that is building a new strategic analytics and operational insight capability on top of a widely used software platform supporting shipping companies worldwide.
The business works closely with operational shipping environments and is now investing heavily in how operational data can be better utilised through analytics, AI-enabled workflows, and commercially focused operational insight.
This is not a traditional reporting or BI position. The role is significantly more strategic and commercially focused, sitting at the intersection of maritime operations, operational analytics, customer engagement, and technology. The successful individual will work directly with shipping companies to identify operational inefficiencies, shape analytics-led projects, and help turn complex operational data into measurable business outcomes.
This is viewed as a key strategic hire within a newly created capability area, offering significant long-term growth potential and visibility across the wider business.

* Strong analytical mindset with exposure to SQL, Python, BI tooling, operational analytics, or data-driven decision making
* Comfortable working with complex, imperfect operational datasets and translating findings into actionable business insight

* Experience helping shape new processes, services, or operational capabilities is highly desirable
Additional Information
