Customer Support Executive

They are a data intelligence platform for shipping and commodities. 

Their mission? Empower maritime and trade professionals through actionable data and collaborative workflows

Why? The market hasn’t evolved since the adoption of email: no data intelligence, manual workflows, no community network

How? Their AI driven tools aggregate cargo, freight, port and vessel information. By centralising trading communication & operational workflows they provide unprecedented data to the trading community

Shipfix is the market leading data intelligence platform for shipping and commodities. Our proprietary artificial intelligence-driven tools aggregate cargo, freight, port and vessel information to enable the daily workflows of maritime and trade professionals and to address key challenges faced by the industry that Shipfix has proven to overcome.

At Shipfix, we have fully embraced a remote work policy. We don't think collaborative teamwork requires us to be physically in the same office so we'll be happy to welcome you, wherever you're based. That being said, we also keep in mind that not everyone can or is happy working from home so we can always provide access to your local co-working space.
