Dry Bulk Chartering Manager

Dry Bulk Chartering Manager | Dubai

Dubai, UAE | Full-Time | Base Salary + Performance-Linked Incentives

We're working with an established UAE-based physical commodity trading business looking to hire a Dry Bulk Chartering Manager to help establish and grow a new freight brokerage and chartering division.

This is a commercially focused opportunity to build a chartering business from an early stage, leveraging an existing commodity trading platform while developing independent third-party business.

The role offers significant autonomy, direct exposure to senior management and the opportunity to play a central role in shaping the growth of the division.

The Role

• Originate cargo and vessel opportunities through an established network of shipowners, operators, charterers and cargo interests.

• Independently negotiate and conclude profitable Voyage, Time and Period Charter fixtures.

• Develop third-party chartering and freight brokerage business alongside supporting the company's existing commodity trading activities.

• Manage freight negotiations, voyage economics, charter party terms and commercial aspects of post-fixture execution.

• Build long-term commercial relationships and generate sustainable chartering revenue.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in dry bulk chartering, shipbroking or commercial freight trading.

• A demonstrable track record of personally concluding fixtures and originating business.

• An established network of shipowners, operators, charterers and cargo interests.

• Experience across dry bulk vessel segments such as Handy, Supramax, Ultramax, Panamax or Capesize.

• Exposure to cargoes such as coal, clinker, cement, petcoke, grain or other bulk commodities. Cement and clinker experience is advantageous but not essential.

• Strong commercial understanding of freight markets, voyage calculations and charter party negotiations.

What's on Offer

A competitive base salary alongside performance-linked incentives, with the opportunity to build a new chartering desk, take ownership of commercial growth and develop alongside an expanding international commodities business.
