About the job

🚀 We’re Hiring: Senior Account Executive, Maritime Security SaaS

📍 Preffered location: London,UK (Hybrid) / Dubai, UAE | Remote/Hybrid

About Vanguard Tech

Vanguard Tech is bringing a digital-first approach to risk management in the marine insurance market.

We are a maritime security intelligence company that combines real-time data analytics with operational expertise to protect vessels, crews, and cargo across the world’s highest-risk trade routes. Our Digital CSO platform delivers continuous voyage oversight from planning through to safe arrival, covering fleet monitoring, threat intelligence, transit security, SSAS management, and insurance optimisation through a single subscription.

Our offering goes beyond static reporting. By continuously analysing live AIS streams, weather patterns, and thousands of data points, we calculate an accurate, dynamic loss probability for every voyage and vessel. This translates directly into reduced war risk premiums for our clients, often saving multiples of their subscription cost on a single transit.

Our clients include some of the world’s largest ship managers, container lines, tanker operators, commodity traders, and marine insurers. We operate globally from offices in the UK, Dubai, Athens, and Singapore, with a 24/7 Maritime Assistance Centre and an in-house intelligence team sourcing from open, closed, and proprietary data in multiple languages.

Our mission: Make advanced, data-driven risk management accessible to every maritime stakeholder. Equip ship owners with the tools and intelligence to protect their assets, their crews, and their bottom line.

Our trajectory: We’re scaling from a strong operational base toward becoming the leading provider of maritime security intelligence SaaS. This is an early opportunity with a company that has paying clients, a proven product, and a clear growth plan.
