Job Description
A well-established, entrepreneurial tanker brokerage is seeking to hire an experienced Time Charter Tanker Broker or small team to join its platform in London or Athens.
The firm has a strong presence across tanker markets with particular depth in emerging trade flows, working closely with shipowners, oil majors, traders, and operators. The business offers a dynamic, non-bureaucratic environment with a clear focus on relationship-led, flow-driven chartering.
This hire is aimed at strengthening the firm's time charter capabilities, complementing its existing spot presence.
Key Responsibilities
* Originate and execute time charter business across crude and/or clean petroleum product tankers
* Develop and maintain long-term relationships with shipowners, operators, and charterers
* Structure and negotiate period employment (short/medium/long-term TC deals)
* Advise clients on fleet deployment strategies, coverage, and market timing
* Provide forward-looking market insight, rate trends, and asset utilisation strategies
* Work closely with spot desks to identify TC opportunities arising from market dislocation or arbitrage
* Manage the full lifecycle of TC deals, including negotiation, execution, and follow-up
* Support and mentor junior brokers where applicable
Candidate Profile
* 5-10 years' experience in tanker broking with a clear focus on time chartering
* Proven track record of TC fixtures and repeat business with key counterparties
* Strong relationships with owners and/or charterers active in period markets
* Solid understanding of fleet economics, utilisation, and market cycles
* Commercially minded with the ability to originate ideas, not just execute flow
* Comfortable operating in a lean, entrepreneurial platform
Team hire: Existing TC-focused team or portable book of business is highly attractive.
Why Join
* Opportunity to build or scale a dedicated TC desk within an established brokerage
* Strong existing market access across owners, traders, and operators
* Exposure to emerging markets and non-commoditised trade flows
* Flat, agile structure with direct commercial impact and visibility
* Attractive earnings model aligned with longer-term, relationship-driven revenue
Compensation
* Competitive base salary
* Highly competitive commission structure, reflective of TC deal economics
* Flexibility for individuals or teams with demonstrable revenue
