Overview
We are looking for a Project Management Associate to support our advisory team.
Our client is an international infrastructure firm expanding its activities, and you will play a supportive role in tracking deadlines, organizing project records, and assisting with client communications on this engagement.
Gulf Associates provides specialized commercial advisory services focused on complex investments, sovereign partnership decisions, and joint ventures in the territory.
Rather than producing generic consulting reports, we prioritize commercial judgment and ground reality.
This is a full-time, permanent position designed for an entry-level professional who wants to build a strong foundation in project coordination and transaction support.
What you will do
- Maintain tracking schedules, project timelines, and deliverable logs to support our client, the expanding international infrastructure firm.
- Conduct background research on competitor movements, pricing trends, and counterparty activities within the regional infrastructure market.
- Draft clear summaries, research notes, and status updates for partners before they participate in client negotiations or regulatory meetings.
- Manage and structure project files, ensuring all shared documents, project planners, and joint venture records remain accurate and up-to-date.
- Monitor project risks and update risk registers, flagging potential delays or coordination issues to senior advisors.
- Help schedule and prepare agendas for coordination sessions, capturing decision points, task owners, and next steps during meetings.
- Summarize complex feedback from counterparties and assist in translating these insights into actionable updates for client reports.
- What you bring
- A strong curiosity regarding how large businesses plan, organize, and execute complex infrastructure or commercial projects.
- Excellent written English, with the ability to summarize professional topics clearly, directly, and without corporate jargon.
- High attention to detail, especially when cross-checking contract dates, data tables, or project schedules.
- Good electronic research skills, with the diligence to look beyond top-level search results to find specific details.
- Strong organizational habits, allowing you to manage multiple daily tasks and keep upcoming deadlines visible for the advisory team.
- A collaborative, constructive attitude, with a willingness to learn from senior colleagues and adapt to changing research demands.
- Comfort working with spreadsheet software and basic project mapping tools.
- What the role offers
- Attractive and competitive pay that reflects your growing skills and contribution to our client projects.
- A flexible hybrid arrangement that combines quiet, productive work-from-home days with structured, in-person coordination sessions at our space.
- Direct coordination with senior partners who stay involved in every deal, giving you a front-row view of how major decisions get settled.
- Practical experience working on high stakes projects, supporting an expanding international infrastructure firm.
- A clear, supportive path for learning how to analyze counterparties and build practical commercial judgment.
Working at Gulf Associates
At Gulf Associates, we measure ourselves by the outcomes our clients achieve, not by the volume of paper we produce.
We work in small, highly focused teams where partners remain involved in the day-to-day details of every engagement.
Our culture is direct, analytical, and highly collaborative, and we intentionally avoid the administrative layers typically found at larger management consultancies.
We value honest observation and ground reality over polished presentations.
If you are starting your career and want to build practical commercial judgment in a setting that values clarity and execution, you will find this a challenging and rewarding place to grow.
