LAYIQ - VP of Supply-Fleet Recruitment at Quartermaster

Identify and win the right vessels.
Work from a prioritized list of high-value target vessels, reach out to their owners and operators, and sign them as fleet partners.
Build and personally carry the relationships.
Be the individual that owners, operators, and their technical managers trust, across commercial maritime markets worldwide.
Negotiate and close the agreements.
Pipeline capacity full: Ensure there are always enough signed, qualified vessels ready to go, so installations never stall waiting for a vessel.
Outcomes you'll own
Coverage growth.
The right vessels join the network at the pace our growth plan requires.
Running cost per vessel.
Support, connectivity, and upkeep that make up the network's recurring cost base.
Recruiting quality.
A fleet weighted toward the highest-value vessels, not filler.
The team.
A recruiting organization capable of delivering all of the above at scale.
The archetype we're hiring for We care less about maritime pedigree than about a specific kind of operator. The person we want is someone who has scaled the supply side of a marketplace from 0 to 1, launched new markets on the ground, and turned chaotic, one-off deal-making into a repeatable acquisition machine.
Zero to one market growth. You've walked into a new city, region, or segment with no template, stood up supply on the ground, and left behind a playbook others could run.
Built the machine, not just the deals. You've turned relationship-driven, artisanal acquisition into a measured funnel — with clear metrics, tooling, and process behind every stage.
Zero to one: Building and leading global field teams. You've hired, trained, and managed distributed acquisition or recruiting team and held them to hard targets.
Data-driven and relentless. You run on numbers: funnel conversion, cost of acquisition, cohort economics, and you operate with urgency and total ownership.
Maritime experience is a plus, not a prerequisite. We can teach you about the maritime industry and current playbooks; we can't teach the instinct for scaling supply. If you bring shipping-sector depth on top of the profile above, even better.
