Job details

Full job description

Location: London-based, with significant time in Nigeria and across global maritime hubs.

Reporting to: Group Managing Director

SeaLearn is the launch vertical of a new vocational training group backed by Union Maritime Limited. We are building a world-class maritime training business that will educate the next generation of officers at scale — starting in Nigeria, where we are creating the first generation of Nigerian seafarers crewing the world’s ships. The mission is generational: 10,000 officers trained by 2050, in partnership with the Tetra Foundation.

We are looking for a founder-operator: someone who has built or led a high-growth training, shipping, or services business before, and who is ready to turn SeaLearn from a launch venture into a category-defining maritime training platform.

The Position

As CEO / MD of SeaLearn, you will own the maritime training business end to end — strategy, P&L, cadet pipeline, curriculum, commercial partnerships with shipowners, and onboard placement. You will report to the Group MD and operate with the autonomy of a founder and the backing of an established shipping group.

Requirements

Strategic & Commercial Leadership

Set the strategy, growth roadmap, and operating model for SeaLearn, with full P&L ownership
Build commercial relationships with shipowners, operators, and managers — converting them into sponsors, employers, and long-term partners
Deliver against ambitious cadet, revenue, and unit-economic targets

Training Delivery & Operations

Build a maritime curriculum that meets international STCW standards and sets a new benchmark for quality
Lead delivery across classroom, simulator, and sea-time placement
Establish and run training centres in Nigeria and future hubs

People Leadership

Attract, develop, and retain a world-class team of maritime instructors, operations staff, and commercial leaders
Foster a high-performance culture obsessed with cadet outcomes and commercial impact

Stakeholder & Industry Engagement

Partner closely with the Tetra Foundation on cadet sponsorship, outreach, and impact
Engage with industry bodies, flag states, and regulators across the jurisdictions where SeaLearn operates
Represent SeaLearn at industry forums and to shipping principals globally

Cadet Outcomes & Growth

Take personal accountability for cadet progression, qualification, and placement onto vessels
Build the SeaLearn brand as the destination of choice for ambitious young seafarers
Identify and launch new training programmes and geographies as the business scales

Key Requirements

Senior leadership experience in maritime training, ship management, or a related operational shipping business
Proven commercial track record — ideally with P&L ownership in a high-growth or PE-backed environment
Deep knowledge of STCW, IMO, and the international maritime regulatory landscape
Credibility with shipping principals — owners, managers, and charterers
Comfort operating in emerging markets, particularly West Africa
Founder-operator mindset: ready to build from the ground up

Desirable

Direct experience launching or scaling a maritime training academy
Existing network across tanker, bulker, and container operators
Background bridging commercial shipping and education
