Voltic
Electric cargo ships
Business Development
About the role
We are looking to hire people with expertise in business development or sales in the shipping/maritime industry. On the container side, we are looking to sign volume commitments with freight forwarders or BCOs. On the dry bulk side, we are looking to sign COAs. We are also open to time charters. The ideal person has a network of contacts that can lead to contracted revenue. Since a major goal is bringing in new business for Voltic, commission will be a major part of your compensation. You would be one of the first hires at Voltic and have the opportunity to take on a significant set of responsibilities, working directly with Voltic senior leadership. We are flexible with respect to location. We are open to part-time or temporary arrangements, where there is potential for a switch to full-time in the future.
About Voltic
Voltic is reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the shipping industry by retrofitting diesel ships to be electric. Electric cargo ships have the potential to eliminate 2.2% of global CO2 production, while simultaneously cutting shipping costs by 50-75% depending on route. We are making a boat that is both greener and cheaper. We've closed our first customer, who will pay us to ship containers for them. In addition to YC, we've also received funding from the Department of Energy and support from professors in MIT's Ocean Engineering Department.
