Global port and terminal operator with 260+ locations across five continents
SSA Marine operates a distributed network of stevedoring and terminal facilities across five continents, managing cargo handling and logistics at major international ports. The hiring mix skews heavily toward operations (17 roles) and finance (10), with engineering (8) and data (1) playing support roles—a structure typical of asset-heavy logistics. Active projects cluster around contract optimization (Ironclad adoption, centralized repository, RFQ/RFP tooling) and operational scaling (cruise terminal delivery, acquisition performance tracking), while pain points center on safety compliance, union labor management, and equipment downtime.
Notable leadership hires: Project Director, Strategic Partnerships Director, HR Director
