About the job
The Role
We are seeking an organized and detail-oriented individual with a passion for the ocean who is eager to join our dynamic, fast-paced team.
You excel in environments where precision, reliability, and teamwork are cherished. Your proficiency with technology, including spreadsheets, no-code tools like Retool and Notion, or even some coding, allows you to thrive. Above all, your commitment to delivering accurate and dependable work is paramount.
In this role, you will collaborate closely with Sofar's Wayfinder team on essential operational tasks. These responsibilities include ship routing support, critical operational tasks for various data and service products, assisting the ocean science team in integrating new data sources for analysis, and enhancing our internal tools. Your strong time management skills enable you to work autonomously when necessary, and you possess the confidence to make decisions, particularly in navigating the nuances of cross-cultural communication with Japanese clients and our global team.
Fluency in Japanese, both written and spoken, is essential for this position. You will play a crucial role in connecting Sofar with our Japanese-speaking partners, customers, and contacts within the maritime industry, where trust, clear communication, and cultural understanding are of utmost importance.
