The posting

Cosmos/Mediterranean Maritime Academy and Solverminds have joined forces to build an unparalleled ecosystem for the commercial shipping industry — combining deep expertise in seafarer education, seaborne operations, and advanced maritime technology under a single, unified partnership: COSMOS-SVM.

Our mission is clear: to simplify Shipmanagement and empower shipowners by removing the operational weight of regulatory compliance, so that fleets can run more safely and to the highest industry standards. At the heart of our offering is a model purpose-built to meet the quality and assurance demands of the ISM Code — taking ownership of this regulatory backbone so that shipowners can take ownership of their fleet's performance and focus on their business development.

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced, senior-level ISM/SMS-HSQEE Compliance Officer / Auditor to take ownership of a core pillar of COSMOS-SVM's service model — ensuring that Safety Management Systems remain audit-ready at all times, that non-conformities are tracked and resolved, and that seafarer competency remains linked to operational compliance.

This is a senior role with a clear path toward a managerial position as COSMOS-SVM continues to grow. We are looking for a candidate who brings not only strong ISM/SMS compliance expertise, but also the enthusiasm to keep learning, take on increasing responsibility, and apply that knowledge to help shape and scale COSMOS-SVM's offering as the company expands.

Main Responsibilities

  • Supports the establishment, implementation, and maintenance of Safety Management Systems in compliance with the ISM Code, industry best practices, and applicable ISO standards
  • Monitors managed fleets to ensure ongoing compliance with HSQE-related activities and Management System requirements
  • Ensures Safety Management Systems remain audit-ready at all times, minimizing the risk of findings during internal, external, and Port State Control inspections
  • Plans, coordinates, and participates in internal and external audits, both ashore and on board
  • Supports vessel preparation for external inspections (SIRE, CDI, Flag State, and similar)
  • Investigates and tracks non-conformities within the Management System, ensuring corrective and preventive actions are closed within set timeframes
  • Assists with document control, including issuance and update of circulars, manuals, and controlled documents
  • Oversee the implementation, set up and operation of our ERP software (MACK) which facilitates the digitization of SMS/TMSA/DBMS
  • Uses digital Shipmanagement tools to manage SMS documentation, audits, inspections, and non-conformity workflows — including remote auditing and mobile checklists
  • Links seafarer competency and training records to operational compliance requirements, leveraging digital competence and learning management tools
  • Monitors and communicates changes in relevant rules, regulations, codes, and legislation applicable to managed fleets
  • Contributes to record-keeping, reporting, and continuous improvement of the Management System
  • Takes ownership of the ISM/SMS compliance function, with the scope to grow into a managerial role overseeing the wider compliance team as COSMOS-SVM expands
  • Applies ISM/SMS expertise to help identify opportunities for improving and scaling COSMOS-SVM's service model and offering

Requirements

Required Skills & Experience

  • Maritime background, preferably from a shipping company, vessel, or maritime compliance environment
  • Mid-Senior-level experience in HSQE, marine operations, or ISM/SMS compliance, with a track record of increasing responsibility
  • Solid understanding of how SMS procedures, audits, inspections, and corrective actions work in practice
  • Familiarity with the ISM Code, ISPS Code, MLC, DryBMS, and related maritime compliance frameworks
  • Strong organizational and administrative skills with high attention to detail
  • Strong written and spoken English
  • Ability to work under pressure, manage multiple tasks, and meet deadlines
  • Proactive attitude with a strong sense of responsibility, ownership, and teamwork
  • Comfortable working with digital shipmanagement/ERP platforms for SMS, document control, audits, and reporting
  • Genuine enthusiasm for continuous learning, with the drive to grow into a managerial role and contribute to COSMOS-SVM's development

Desired Skills

  • Degree in Maritime Studies, Shipping, or a related field
  • Seagoing experience or background as a deck officer considered an asset
  • Familiarity with SIRE 2.0, RISQ, TMSA, and related vetting/compliance workflows
  • Experience preparing audit responses, CAPA follow-up material, or training/familiarization packs
  • Prior experience mentoring or supervising junior compliance staff
  • Prior experience working with a digital ship management ERP (e.g. remote auditing, e-checklists, electronic document/incident management)
  • Fluent in Greek and English; additional languages a plus

Benefits

  • The opportunity to work at the intersection of maritime expertise and advanced technology, within a growing, purpose-driven ecosystem
  • A clear path toward a managerial position as COSMOS-SVM grows
  • A collaborative working environment with stimulating career prospects
  • Continuous learning and development opportunities
  • Competitive remuneration package + Growth Participation Plan
