What You’ll Be Doing
As an Operations Manager at Clipper Bulk A/S, based in Copenhagen, you will join a dedicated and highly skilled team of Bulk Operators, working closely with colleagues located in Hong Kong, Houston, and South Africa. With our vessels traded worldwide, your expertise and decisions will directly influence our bottom line. In this role, you and the Operations team are viewed as critical contributors to optimizing performance and maximizing results.
Your primary responsibilities will include:
- Ensuring optimal operations and delivering value for Clipper and our customers
- Maintaining close, daily communication with Charterers, Shipowners, Agents, Captains, Port Captains, Surveyors, and other service providers
- Overseeing a range of operational tasks, including monitoring, measuring, and enhancing vessel performance, managing agents, and coordinating port nominations
- Supporting the training and development of our young talent, fostering growth and expertise within the team
What We’re Looking For
At Clipper, our employees shape our work environment, so bringing a positive attitude and high integrity is essential. We value proactive thinkers who aren’t afraid to question the status quo and drive continuous improvement through collaboration and knowledge sharing.
Additionally, we seek candidates with the following qualifications:
- At least five years of experience in bulk operations
- You “know the drill”, and, in theory, you can operate your own fleet from “day one”
- A commercial mindset that shows you strive to impact the results
- Excellent organizational skills with a clear overview of tasks
- A positive and innovative attitude and strong communication skills in English
- Familiarity with VIP and Sedna systems is an advantage but not required
Don’t meet every single requirement?
At Clipper, we’re dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workplace. If you’re enthusiastic about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly with each qualification, we still encourage you to apply. You could be the ideal candidate for this position — or for another opportunity with us.
What You’ll Love About Us
At Clipper, you’ll be part of a dynamic and close-knit team that values high standards of employee well-being and a supportive, family-spirited atmosphere. We believe that a fulfilling career is one that grows with you, which is why we offer continuous learning and development opportunities. Our commitment to a vibrant, inclusive workplace shines through in the many social and sports activities we organize. Here, you’ll find both the challenge and independence you’re looking for, with the potential to work overseas and make a meaningful impact.
