We offer a unique combination of hardware, software, and Remote Operations Centers (ROCs) that enable vessels to be operated remotely, improving safety, efficiency, and continuity in inland and coastal shipping.
Our mission? To pave the way towards autonomous shipping, and we’re just getting started. With a strong vision and international ambitions, we are scaling fast. Ready to take a key role in this journey?
Your mission?
As our Account Executive Belgium you will take the lead in expanding our presence in the Belgian inland and shortsea shipping sector.

You’ll be responsible for developing the market in our core segments: inland shipping and coastal shipping.
You have a sharp eye for market opportunities and know how to map the full DMU at your prospects. With your relationship-building approach, technical insight, and persistence, you guide clients through the process from first contact to deal closing.
Once the deal is closed, you ensure a smooth handover to our Operations and Project teams for implementation on board and in the Remote Operations Centers.
You’ll identify relevant networks, partners, and events to boost brand awareness and bring Seafar to the forefront of the Belgian market.
You’ll report directly to our Sales Director and regularly sync with your Account Executive and Business Development colleagues in the Netherlands, Germany, and France.
You’ll work from wherever it makes most sense to serve your market. Of course, you’ll be on the road a lot, meeting clients, visiting vessels, and attending events. Every week, you’ll visit our HQ in Antwerp to stay connected with the team.

Able to work independently, take initiative, and adapt quickly in a fast-paced environment
Willing to travel frequently and maintain strong team connection across borders
