An employee form Maritime Optima working at his desk.

Senior Sales & General Manager Singapore

Maritime Optima is expanding and we are looking to strengthen our market presence in Asia. We are seeking an ambitious and experienced commercial professional to lead our new office in Singapore and drive sales efforts.

Who we are

Maritime Optima AS was established in 2018 and came into operation in May 2019. We aim to modernize the “office” part of the commercial shipping since most of the companies are using legacy software tools while technological developments in satellite surveillance and real-time data analysis opened the door to new levels of automation and decision support. It has become possible to create software to answer questions such as “what are my competitors doing” and “what are the most profitable contracts I can find for my vessels”.

The company is financed by the founders and shipping investors. We are developing two products: ShipIntel for professional teams and ShipAtlas for individuals. ShipAtlas has more than 450 000 registered users and the growth is strong. ShipIntel was launched in august 2024 and will be our main commercial focus in 2025.

We are 18 employees in Oslo, Athens and are building up an office and team in Singapore, most of us are working in our Oslo office in Vika Atrium.

Even though we are in our 5th year of operation, it is still very much a startup vibe here, the whole crew being extremely enthusiastic about what we do.
