Junior Project Controller

What you will do • Monitor project timelines and resource allocation across multiple streams to ensure commercial objectives remain on track. • Collect and organize financial data from various counterparties involved in the logistics project to maintain an accurate view of expenditures. • Prepare weekly status reports that highlight any differences between planned budgets and actual spending. • Assist in the creation of commercial positions by researching market costs, supplier rates, and industry benchmarks. • Verify the accuracy of data provided by external partners and contractors to ensure our advice is based on facts rather than assumptions. • Maintain detailed records of project decisions and the commercial logic behind specific adjustments or pivots. • Support the partners in drafting clear, concise documentation for sovereign entities and private family groups. • Track the progress of regulatory conversations and project milestones to update internal risk registers. What you bring • A high degree of comfort working with numbers and a strong grasp of logic and basic financial principles. • The ability to write clearly and directly: we value brevity and the use of plain English over corporate jargon. • Commercial curiosity and a desire to understand how large-scale deals actually function in a complex territory. • Strong habits for remote work: you must be able to manage your own schedule and meet deadlines consistently without close supervision. • Meticulous attention to detail that ensures every report and data point is checked and double checked for accuracy. • A university degree or equivalent background in business, economics, finance, or a related analytical field. • A practical mindset that prefers solving concrete problems over discussing abstract theories. • Willingness to learn the specific commercial logic of the market where our clients operate. What we offer • A fully remote working arrangement that allows for independence and a focus on high-quality output. • Competitive pay that is attractive for an entry-level professional and reflective of the importance of this role. • Direct exposure to senior partners and the chance to observe how high-level commercial negotiations are settled. • The opportunity to work on complex, high-stakes assignments where your research directly supports client decisions. Working at Gulf Associates Our firm operates differently than a typical global consultancy. We do not produce thick reports intended to sit on a shelf: we focus on creating positions that a client can actually act on. This means our culture is direct, honest, and sometimes cautious. We expect our team to be comfortable with scrutiny and to care more about the accuracy of their work than the volume of it. Because we are a senior-led firm with a small book of active business, every member of the team has visibility into how their work affects the final outcome. We are comfortable being measured on the results that follow our advice, whether that involves a signed agreement or an operational launch in the territory. This role is fully remote, and we value individuals who can maintain high standards of research discipline while working independently.
