About Anemoi Marine Technologies

At Anemoi, we're on a journey to shake up the maritime industry with cutting-edge Rotor Sail technology. From our headquarters in the UK and production base in China, we're developing and delivering advanced, automated wind-assisted propulsion systems that help shipowners and operators reduce fuel consumption and emissions… propelling the shipping industry toward a more sustainable, decarbonised future.

Our goal is ambitious yet simple: save 1,000 tonnes of CO2 per day by installing 500 Rotor Sails by 2030. Picture fleets of ships sailing world's oceans with our Rotor Sail technology, harnessing renewable wind power to get the job done cleaner and more efficiently. We're making that happen, one ship at a time.

We take ground-breaking science and real-world engineering and turn it into products that work operationally at sea. Our diverse and collaborative teams work side by side, and around the globe, driven by a passion for sustainability and a relentless pursuit of technical excellence.

About the Role

We are seeking an experienced professional advisor or non-executive director with a strong background in

Responsibilities

• Provide expert advice, constructive challenge, and scrutiny on technical risks and design decisions
• Support robust processes, ensuring safety, quality, and cost are optimised
• Be commercially savvy and aware of the current market trends regarding WAPS
