Field Operations Lead - Philippines

ABOUT QUARTERMASTER Quartermaster is a U.S. maritime technology company. We put safety and connectivity systems aboard commercial vessels and deliver the resulting maritime situational awareness data as a commercial service. We are scaling in the Philippines and hiring a Filipino national to lead it. THE JOB Close fleet-scale agreements with Philippine domestic vessel operators, and move our regulatory approvals faster than they would move without you.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN Fleet growth: Open and close agreements with vessel owners and operators to get our equipment installed at scale.
