Project/Product Manager

The Opportunity The Product/Project Manager position is a part of the Global IT Department, which is directly overseen by the Group’s CIO. Our team currently comprises over 40 IT, software, and data professionals primarily based in Shanghai and Moerdijk (the Netherlands). With our IT presence in Singapore rapidly expanding, we are excited to invite you to join our team! What You Will Work On Our product/project managers own business applications and data projects end-to-end, working with our engineers, analysts, and business users across Gentco. As an example of the kind of work involved: we are currently building a decision-making hub for our tanker shipping division, bringing together data from our shipping systems, the internal and external data needed for commercial and operational decisions, and the algorithms and people that make those decisions. A project like this means gathering requirements from chartering and operations teams, working with our data engineers and analysts on what to build, and driving delivery through to adoption. We also think a lot about what product management and software development look like in the LLM era, and we like people who are curious about it: not vibe coding, but tinkering with agent harnesses, setting up agentic workflows, and working out where they change how a team builds and runs software. Beyond your first project, this role can grow in two directions: becoming the Product Manager of a major product, owning it end-to-end for its users across Gentco; or becoming an IT Business Partner for one of our business units, managing a portfolio of applications and projects over time. Both need strong project management; which one suits you will show in the work. Job Responsibilities: · Understand users (internal and external), markets, and competition in depth; translate business needs into products, and take ownership of specific business applications and responsibility for the end result. · Take projects through their entire lifecycle: refine promising ideas into project proposals, plan and oversee execution, ensure quality and timeliness, and run retrospectives and documentation on completion. · Work collaboratively with our global engineering and data teams to deliver and improve business applications in a highly iterative pattern. · Embody a quantitative approach to project and product management: design unbiased KPIs and metrics to justify project outcomes, and regularly survey or interview users for feedback. · Experiment with LLM tooling and agentic workflows in your own work and in the products you own: set up harnesses, automate the repetitive parts of product and project management, and bring what actually works to the rest of the team. · Keep project status, decisions, and documentation current in our project tooling (Confluence, Linear) so stakeholders across Shanghai, Moerdijk, and Singapore stay aligned. · Promote a culture of organizational learning by facilitating knowledge sharing and best practices in documentation. Requirements: · 2+ years as a project, product, or program manager with hands-on use of modern project management tooling; or 2+ years in maritime logistics or supply chain with demonstrable experience leading cross-functional deliveries · Strong desire and ability to learn our industry (tanker shipping and tank container logistics) and its operating/business models · Comfortable communicating across technical and non-technical audiences; able to translate business needs into clearly scoped requirements · Professional fluency in English · Professional fluency in Mandarin is an added advantage to effectively liaise with Chinese-speaking counterparts. · Highly motivated, with a proactive approach to project ownership and accountability for outcomes and timelines Desirable Qualities: · Previous work experience with B2B ERP/TMS systems · Previous work experience in maritime logistics or shipping · Experience on data or analytics projects (working with data engineers and analysts, defining KPIs) · High-level knowledge of modern software architectures and DevOps principles · Interest or hands-on experience with LLM tooling beyond chat: setting up agent harnesses, automating parts of your own work, or building small agentic workflows
