We’re partnering with a leading global port operator to find a Director, Operations, with a clear and genuine progression path to Terminal COO. This is a rare opportunity for a senior operations leader to take on a major leadership role at an international terminal, with direct visibility and pathway to the C-suite.

Package: USD 10,000 – 15,000/month + expat benefits
Experience: 15+ years in container terminal / port operations
Progression: Clear pathway to COO

What we’re looking for:

  • Significant hands-on experience running container terminal/port operations
  • Proven senior leadership capability, not just operational execution
  • Strong strategic perspective and change-orientation
  • Track record of leading teams through growth, transformation, or scale-up
  • Genuine potential and ambition to progress into a COO role

Why this role?
This isn’t just an operations leadership position – it’s a deliberate succession opportunity for someone ready to progress to COO. You will be assessed not only on your ability to lead the current operations scope, but on their broader leadership capability and readiness to step up.
