Ship management firm Angelicoussis Group is seeking to hire a senior marine fuels desk lead based in Athens, Greece, reflecting the elevated importance of bunker procurement at one of the largest Greek-owned shipping groups, which manages a fleet spanning tankers, bulk carriers, and LNG vessels.

The company is looking for candidates with more than 15 years of relevant work experience, preferably including at least five years in managerial roles, according to a LinkedIn job advertisement posted this week.

Fuel purchases typically rank among the largest single cost items for ship operators, and the seniority of this hire underscores how major owners are positioning their bunkering teams to navigate ongoing fuel market volatility, regulatory pressure on emissions, and the gradual emergence of alternative marine fuels.

Angelicoussis Group lists the following qualifications for the role:

• Bachelor's degree in Economics, Maritime studies, or a relevant field.
• 15+ years of relevant working experience; preferably 5+ years of experience in managerial roles.
• Excellent understanding of the Marine Fuels market.
• Excellent usage of quantitative information to make decisions.
• Able to perform under stressful situations in a stress-relieving way for the organization, the team, and external counterparties, while maintaining a professional approach.
• Excellent operational understanding of the marine fuels businesses and own fleet needs.
• Excellent negotiation and communication skills.
• Excellent command of the English language.
• PC literate with excellent knowledge of the MS Office Suite.
