Build quantitative cases for or against opportunities
Scale evaluation from a handful of opportunities to hundreds per week

Frame forecasts probabilistically (distributions vs point estimates)
Translate model outputs into actionable decisions across chartering, hedging, and S&P timing
Risk & Exposure Analysis:Quantify fleet exposure under different market scenarios
Evaluate TC-in/TC-out strategies and derivatives overlays
Build frameworks for sell/hold decisions and opportunity cost analysis
Performance Attribution:Measure outcomes of decisions on a like-for-like basis
Distinguish between decision quality and market-driven outcomes
Feed insights back into models to continuously improve performance
Tooling & Data:Curate and expand proprietary datasets and analytical tools
Develop and refine models to support decision-making
Leverage AI coding tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude Code) to accelerate output and insight generation
Candidate Profile
Quantitative Mindset:Strong grounding in regression, time-series analysis, probability, and machine learning
Ability to reason under uncertainty and validate model assumptions
Background in statistics, econometrics, finance, or quantitative research preferred
Shipping Market Knowledge:Experience or strong interest in shipping markets
Background in brokerage, ownership, funds, or consultancy is a plus
Market intuition valued alongside technical capability
Technical Skills:Working proficiency in Python and SQL
Ability to read, modify, and deploy analytical code
Familiarity with AI-assisted coding tools (e.g., Copilot, Claude Code)
Builder’s Mindset:
Comfortable iterating quickly from hypothesis to prototype
