Financial & Business Performance

  • Own P&L across brokerage and cold storage units.
  • Manage cost controls, margin tracking, pricing models, and settlement flows.
  • Oversee timely remittances to vessel partners, auctioneers, brokers, and market clients.

Team Leadership & Culture

  • Lead cross-functional teams: fish classifiers, auctioneers, warehouse staff, logistics, and admin.
  • Build a strong, ethical, and accountable work culture across port and facility teams.
  • Oversee hiring, training, and performance management of trading and ops staff.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Fisheries, Maritime Logistics, Business Management, or similar field (MBA is a plus)
  • Minimum 10 years of executive experience in fish trading, seafood logistics, or cold chain operations
  • Strong knowledge of wet market auction systems, fish handling protocols, and vessel-buyer dynamics
  • Familiarity with cold storage facilities, inventory systems, and product movement
  • Experience in handling BFAR/DA compliance, market permits, and food safety documentation
