Lead the global growth of a maritime green-tech scale-up

Metizoft is a mission-driven scale-up delivering SaaS solutions that help the maritime industry meet key environmental regulations. With global traction and a unique market position, we’re entering our next phase of growth — and we’re looking for a commercially driven leader to take us there.

As Chief Commercial Officer, you’ll shape our global commercial strategy across sales and marketing, build a scalable commercial engine, and drive international expansion. If you're ready to combine purpose with impact and want to build something that truly matters, this is your opportunity.

About Metizoft

Metizoft is a pioneering Norwegian scale-up delivering innovative SaaS solutions for environmental compliance in the maritime industry. Since 2006, we’ve helped shipowners, yards, and suppliers meet evolving regulations around hazardous materials (IHM), ESG reporting, LCA, and chemical management. Our mission is to enable a more sustainable and circular maritime sector — globally.

With a growing presence across Europe, North and South America, and Asia, Metizoft works with some of the world’s most advanced vessels and industry-leading players. Our solutions are developed with and for the maritime supply chain, combining deep regulatory expertise with operational insight.

At the core of our company are the values of quality, respect, collaboration, and trust. As we enter our next phase of international growth, we’re looking for ambitious people to help shape the future of maritime sustainability.

About the role/team

We’re seeking an entrepreneurial Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) to lead Metizoft’s global sales efforts and build a scalable, high-performing commercial engine. You’ll be a key member of the executive team and play a pivotal role in shaping our international growth strategy, evolving our commercial function from founder- and project-led sales to a structured, repeatable, and data-driven operation.

This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who knows what great looks like. You’ve done this before and understand what it takes to turn potential into performance. You won’t just set direction; you’ll help the team win by building systems, structure, and momentum.

You’ll collaborate closely with the CEO and executive team, our regional sales teams, and the international operation in Asia (including the CEO APAC) to drive coordinated growth across markets. You’ll lead with clarity, replicate what works, and strengthen alignment across sales, marketing, and product as we scale globally.

Key responsibilities

• Develop and implement sales strategies that support Metizoft’s growth ambitions and strengthen the company’s position in strategic markets
• Build and lead an international sales team focused on results, growth, and high customer satisfaction
• Drive commercial growth through the establishment of agent networks, strategic partnerships, and international expansion, with a particular focus on the APACME region, in close collaboration with our offices in Singapore
• Identify new markets and business opportunities based on market analysis, customer needs, and technology trends
• Collaborate closely with product development to ensure Metizoft’s solutions meet market demands
• Monitor and report on sales performance, and optimize sales processes through data-driven insights
• Own the marketing strategy and brand positioning, in close collaboration with the marketing department, to ensure alignment across sales, marketing, and products
• Represent Metizoft at trade shows, conferences, and industry events to enhance the company’s global visibility and deliver presentations

What we're looking for

We’re looking for a commercially driven builder — someone who enjoys leading teams, shaping strategy, and executing with purpose. You thrive in fast-paced environments and are energized by the opportunity to grow a global business with real-world impact. You bring experience and perspective, but you’re humble enough to know that what worked before may not apply everywhere. You’re curious, adaptable, and eager to learn a new domain. Most of all, you combine strategic thinking with operational muscle — turning insight into action, and vision into execution.

What you’ll need to succeed in this role

• Proven experience in building and scaling B2B sales teams — ideally within SaaS or other technology-driven industries
• A strategic and structured approach to commercial growth, with the ability to translate insight into market positioning and execution
• Deep understanding of the full sales funnel, from lead generation and qualification to deal closing, retention, and expansion
• A data-driven mindset, with confidence using CRM systems and sales analytics to guide decisions and performance
• A hands-on leadership style with the ability to coach, create clarity, and be a visible driver of execution
• The ability to build strong cross-functional alignment with marketing, product, and customer success

While not essential, the following are considered valuable skills that will help you hit the ground running and contribute to faster success in the role:

• Experience in or exposure to the maritime industry, including relevant networks. If this is uncharted territory for you, don’t worry – we’ll get you up to speed
• Experience developing agent-based sales channels
• Background from a SaaS company or experience bringing a SaaS platform to market
• Prior experience in the APACME region, given its strategic importance to Metizoft’s international growth

What we offer you

• The opportunity to lead global growth in a mission-driven, future-facing tech company
• A tight-knit, passionate team and a strong ownership culture
• Competitive compensation, including a bonus and an option scheme
• High visibility in a company with a unique position in the green maritime tech space
• Meaningful travel and exposure to global markets
• We value work-life balance and flexibility, and while this role requires close collaboration with the Fosnavåg team in the beginning, we’re committed to creating a setup that works for the right person long-term

Important requirements

Working languages: Norwegian and English. Professional working proficiency in both languages is a requirement.

Location: The role is based at our headquarters in Fosnavåg. We’re open to a hybrid, but we expect a regular weekly presence during the first year to support relationship-building and close collaboration with the team.

Travel Readiness: Willingness to travel extensively to build relationships and drive adoption in key markets is essential.
