Charter & Business Operations Coordinator

Experienced Charter Broker or Charter Manager?

If you have a proven track record and demonstrable success in either retail charter brokerage or charter management, we would also love to hear from you. We’re open to discussing a dedicated role in either area, shaped around your experience, strengths and what you could bring to 212 Yachts. Please contact jenny@212-yachts.com directly. The coordinator vacancy described below has its own scope and contract terms.

212 Yachts is a boutique luxury yacht brokerage based in Antibes on the French Riviera. As a MYBA-member company, we combine personal service, local expertise and professional standards to deliver exceptional charter experiences across the Mediterranean and beyond.

We’re looking for an organised, proactive and commercially minded person to join our team in a varied role spanning charter management, retail charter support and business operations.

You’ll work directly with the company founder, taking ownership of responsibilities that help our yachts, clients and office receive excellent service.

About the role

This position suits someone who enjoys variety, takes initiative and follows things through. You might be coordinating a booking with a captain, following up a charter enquiry, preparing yacht marketing materials or helping a new intern get up to speed.

Flexibility is central to the position. Your priorities will change throughout the year, and you should enjoy both the detail of organising bookings and the commercial side of developing client relationships.

You’ll have clear responsibilities and regular check-ins with the founder to agree priorities, review progress and resolve issues early.

Key responsibilities

• Coordinate enquiries, availability and bookings for our central agency fleet.
• Build strong working relationships with yacht owners, captains and the international brokerage community.
• Keep yacht information, rates, calendars and marketing materials accurate and current.
• Assist with charter agreements, KYC and booking documentation.
• Support fleet promotion and follow up relevant broker enquiries.

Retail charter and commercial support

• Help qualify client enquiries, research yachts and prepare proposals.
• Follow up prospects and reconnect with previous clients.
• Maintain accurate CRM records, with clear next actions.
• Progress towards handling your own charter enquiries and bookings, depending on your experience and development.

Business operations and founder support

• Take ownership of agreed administrative and operational tasks, seeing them through to completion.
• Keep office systems, records and processes organised and reliable.
• Support the onboarding, training and day-to-day coordination of interns and seasonal colleagues.
• Identify gaps, suggest practical improvements and help put them into action.
• Communicate progress clearly and flag competing priorities early.

About you

We’re looking for someone who:

• Combines strong organisation and attention to detail with commercial curiosity.
• Takes initiative and follows through without repeated reminders.
• Enjoys moving between client-facing work, administration and team support.
• Communicates warmly, confidently and professionally.
• Writes and speaks excellent English; French is an advantage.
• Is comfortable with email, Excel, CRM systems and learning new tools.
• Takes ownership, asks sensible questions and stays calm when priorities change.

Experience in yacht charter, brokerage or charter management would be valuable. We will also consider strong candidates from luxury travel, hospitality, sales support or business operations who can demonstrate relevant skills and a willingness to learn.

Applicants must have the right to work in France for the duration of the contract.

What we offer

• Experience across several areas of an established MYBA-member brokerage.
• Close collaboration with the company founder and a small, supportive team.
• Meaningful responsibility and opportunities to develop your commercial skills.
• Base salary according to experience, with commission opportunities on qualifying charter business under an agreed scheme.
• An Antibes office base, with occasional working-from-home flexibility once established.

The coordinator position is offered as a CDD from January to September 2027, with the possibility of longer-term employment depending on business needs and mutual agreement.
