Overview

A leading international maritime company is seeking a Director of Client Engagement – Infrastructure & Shipping. This newly created role is focused on driving business development and client partnerships in the rapidly evolving floating LNG and gas shipping sectors. The company is a recognized innovator in floating LNG infrastructure and liquefied gas transportation, with deep expertise in end-to-end project delivery – from development and construction of floating facilities (FLNGs, FSRUs) to the ownership, leasing, and operation of specialized vessels.

This is a high-visibility opportunity for a commercially minded leader with technical grounding in marine operations and strong client engagement skills. The role is based in Houston, TX, with international travel required.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and maintain long-term client relationships with energy companies, project developers, charterers, and traders.
• Identify, pursue, and secure new business opportunities in floating LNG infrastructure and vessel chartering.
• Lead development of commercial proposals, tenders, and negotiations for charters, lease agreements, and joint ventures.
• Collaborate with internal engineering, project, operations, and finance teams to align solutions with client needs.
• Monitor LNG, energy, and shipping market trends to anticipate client requirements and inform commercial strategy.
• Represent the company at industry events, conferences, and trade forums to expand market presence.
• Ensure client satisfaction through proactive communication, feedback, and contract follow-up.

Candidate Profile

• Bachelor’s degree in Maritime Business, Marine Engineering, Naval Architecture, or related field; or equivalent professional experience.
• 5–10 years of experience in marine, shipping, or offshore energy industries, ideally in floating asset operations, project development, or commercial management.
• Solid understanding of LNG infrastructure, gas carriers, FSRUs, FLNG platforms, or offshore assets.
• Demonstrated expertise in ship chartering, vessel leasing, and maritime commercial contracts.
• Proven track record negotiating and closing complex deals (charters, joint ventures, project partnerships).
• Ability to combine technical insight with commercial acumen; comfortable engaging on both engineering and financial topics.
• Self-starter with strong analytical, strategic, and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication, relationship management, and cross-cultural collaboration abilities.
• Willingness to travel internationally for client meetings, conferences, and project work.

What’s Offered

This is a rare opportunity to shape a newly created leadership role within an established global player in floating LNG and shipping. The position offers high visibility, international exposure, and the chance to build long-term impact in one of the industry’s most dynamic growth areas.
