Tanker Ship Broker (CPP/DPP)- London or Athens

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

• 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.
