Business Development Manager, Maritime Technology

This is a remote position.

ABOUT PELICAN MARINE Pelican Marine, the commercialization arm of Pelican Heritage Partners, helps maritime and industrial technology companies win customers, deploy, and grow across the Gulf Coast. Our clients build autonomous surface vessels, subsea robotics, drones, ocean sensing, port security, and maritime cyber products. Many are venture-backed and based in New York, California, Europe, or Asia. They come to us because the Gulf Coast runs on relationships, and we have them.

Louisiana is home base. You will work our relationships with ports, terminals, barge and towboat operators, shipyards down the bayou, and the family-owned businesses that run the Gulf. This is a hunter role with real upside. You will bring in technology companies as PHP clients and open doors for them with shipyards, vessel operators, ports, and energy producers. You will work directly with the founder from week one, and your earnings track the revenue you create.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Source and close maritime and industrial technology companies as PHP clients

• Run outbound on LinkedIn, email, and phone, and book meetings with founders and operators

• Lead discovery calls and help shape proposals and pricing

• Build relationships with Gulf Coast fleets, yards, ports, and energy companies

• Represent PHP at industry events in New Orleans, Houston, and along the Gulf Coast

• Keep the pipeline current in our CRM

Requirements

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• 2+ years in B2B sales, business development, or account management; maritime, offshore, energy, defense, or industrial experience is a strong plus

• Comfort with cold outreach and running conversations with senior executives

• A track record of hitting or beating a number

• Genuine interest in maritime technology

• Willingness to travel up to 25% across the Gulf Coast

• Maritime academy, USCG, Navy, or offshore background welcome
