• Collaborate closely with the Fleet Performance Center on passage planning, weather routing recommendations, and post-voyage performance analysis
• Deliver end-of-voyage reports, charter party performance evaluations, and performance analytics — translating technical data into actionable insights for commercial and operational stakeholders
• Manage customer escalations around routing decisions, data quality issues, and regulatory compliance (CII, EU ETS, MRV reporting)
• Champion customer feedback internally, working with Product teams to shape roadmap priorities; manage customer expectations when timelines or feature requests cannot be accommodated
• Support customers on LNG-specific solutions including heel management and cargo optimization
• Identify expansion opportunities within existing accounts and support commercial teams with technical expertise during renewals and upsell discussions
