Overview

The Project Assistant helps our team organize the logistics and research behind high-stakes commercial decisions in the Gulf region.

This role exists to ensure our regional maps are accurate and that every project sequence stays on track before a major commercial call is made.

About Gulf Associates

Gulf Associates is a management consultancy that advises boards, family groups, and international investors on the choices that define their regional success.

We focus on the actual commercial result rather than the production of long reports or generic slide decks.

Our work involves understanding how regulators and commercial counterparties behave, then determining the right sequence of actions to ensure a client finds success.

Because we maintain a small book of active engagements, our senior team stays deeply involved in the work from first contact through to the commercial outcome.

Every position at the firm is fully remote.

This allows us to bring together specialists who understand different sectors and regional dynamics without being tied to a single physical hub.

We look for people who prefer clear reasoning over corporate jargon and who value the discipline of getting the job done right.

Our culture is professional and discreet, reflecting the high-stakes nature of the advice we provide to our clients.

What You Will Do

  • Maintain internal project schedules to ensure every milestone in a client engagement is reached on time.
  • Conduct primary research on regional companies and counterparty structures using public records and industry news.
  • Draft clear and concise briefs for advisors that summarize the current commercial landscape of a specific sector.
  • Monitor regional regulatory shifts and news cycles to identify changes that could affect a client's long-term strategy.
  • Organize digital file structures and ensure that all project documentation remains secure and accessible to the team.
  • Format internal documents and presentations to ensure they meet our professional standards of clarity and precision.
  • Coordinate communication between different specialist advisors to keep the project flow consistent.
  • What you bring
  • To do well in this role, you should have a natural curiosity about how businesses expand and how sovereign capital influences market dynamics.
  • You are likely someone who enjoys digging into complex details to find the specific fact that changes a whole commercial outlook.
  • We need someone who can write with absolute clarity, avoiding filler words and corporate phrases.
  • Practicality is more important to us than a long list of previous titles.
  • You should be the kind of person who double-checks every detail and understands the discretion required when handling sensitive regional information.
  • It helps if you have a basic interest in economic trends or a strong desire to learn the regional specifics of the Gulf market quickly.
  • Since we are a fully remote team, you must be self-directed and comfortable managing your own time to meet strict deadlines.
  • What the role offers
  • Joining Gulf Associates as a Project Assistant provides a direct entry point into the world of high-level management consulting.
  • You will see firsthand how significant commercial decisions are made and how regional expansion is managed from the inside.
  • Instead of being tucked away in a back-office department, you will work closely with our senior team and gain exposure to the logic they use to advise clients.
  • This is a role built on mentorship and real-world results.
  • We offer a permanent, full-time remote position that values your output and your ability to think clearly rather than the hours you spend at a desk.
  • You will develop a deep understanding of regional governance and the actual mechanics of doing business in a complex and fast-moving environment.
  • A successful Project Assistant at Gulf Associates is someone who finds satisfaction in technical accuracy and clear reasoning.
  • This is a quiet, professional environment where discretion is non-negotiable and the quality of our work speaks louder than any marketing.
  • If you prefer grounded logic over abstract theory, you will find the work here to be both challenging and immensely practical.
