The Role
As a Voyage Analyst on the Wayfinder Product team, you will turn voyage, vessel performance, and weather data into clear, reliable insights for our shipping customers. Your work will help customers evaluate performance against charter party terms, understand the impact of voyage optimization, and support performance claims with evidence.
Your primary focus will be delivering accurate, timely voyage performance reports, including charter party and good-weather analysis. Your second priority will be supporting customer claims with clear, evidence-based analysis. You will also contribute to reporting product development, drawing on your day-to-day reporting experience to identify improvements and help technical teams automate recurring workflows.
Candidates located in the following locations are eligible for this role: Philippines, Singapore, Denmark, Bulgaria, India. This position will require at least two hours of overlap with US Pacific working hours.
Impact You'll Own
Primary focus: Reporting delivery
Own final quality checks for customer-facing time charter and voyage performance reports, validating voyage details, source data, assumptions, and operational constraints.
Investigate discrepancies and work with customers and internal teams to resolve them before reports are delivered.
Translate customer-provided charter party terms and good-weather definitions into reporting criteria, and validate that reports reflect those criteria.
Partner with technical teams to develop tailored performance analyses using Sofar’s digital twin and weather data.
Secondary focus: Claims analysis and support
Prepare clear, evidence-based claim summaries, incorporating voyage performance analysis, weather assessments, and relevant case references where appropriate.
Work directly with customers to collect supporting evidence and explain findings, assumptions, and limitations.
Additional contribution: Reporting product development
Bring expertise in the evolving voyage reporting landscape, including the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS), FuelEU Maritime, and the Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII), and translate customer needs into reporting requirements.
Identify recurring reporting needs and manual bottlenecks, and partner with technical teams to develop features and automation that make reporting more reliable and scalable.

What We Do
Sofar connects the world's oceans to power a more sustainable future. Sofar unlocks ocean data at scale. We deployed hundreds of Spotters globally to create the world’s largest privately-owned network of ocean sensors that collects 1.5 million real-time observations daily. Our team of ocean scientists assimilates this real-time data into our marine weather forecasts, which are up to 50% more accurate than traditional models. In maritime shipping, we use these high-accuracy forecasts and vessel performance models to provide optimized guidance and save ships time, fuel, and emissions. We also equip researchers, operators, and innovators with our devices and data to power marine research and sustainable commercial solutions. Customers access data from our global sensor network and deploy our extensible Spotter platform to collect real-time surface and subsurface observations. Sofar’s team of engineers, ocean scientists, and business professionals is based in San Francisco, California.
