About this role

At American Bureau of Shipping, this remote Sales Development Specialist role sits within a 160-year-old organization that classifies and certifies marine and offshore vessels while helping clients navigate regulatory complexity and emerging technologies. You would be based in Houston but working remotely, focusing on the early-stage pipeline work that feeds the sales organization in a sector undergoing significant transformation—from energy transition to autonomous systems to new safety standards.

The role itself is not detailed in depth here, but the context matters: you'd be supporting a company whose clients operate in a highly regulated, safety-critical environment where technical credibility and long-term relationships drive decisions. This suggests the work involves prospecting, qualifying, and developing leads within the maritime and offshore industries, likely requiring some familiarity with or willingness to learn the regulatory and technical landscape ABS operates in.

ABS offers a full benefits package including medical, dental, vision, HSA/FSA options, life insurance, disability and parental leave, paid time off, an Employee Assistance Plan, and a 401(k) with company match. The company is explicit about equal opportunity employment across protected characteristics.
