We operate differently:

  • No bureaucracy
  • No politics
  • One global platform
  • Full delivery support from world-class hubs in India, Lat Am, and Africa

If you’re a high-performing Associate Director or Director ready for autonomy, ownership, and the chance to shape a market, this role is for you.


Requirements

About the Role
As the Country Director / Associate Director – Infrastructure Advisory, you will lead Gridlines’ entry into a new region and become the face of the firm locally.
You will be responsible for:

  • Winning and delivering infrastructure advisory engagements
  • Building and managing strong client relationships
  • Driving all local business development activity
  • Representing Gridlines in the market
  • Leading advisory projects with support from global delivery hubs

This is a build-it, win-it, own-it role.

Key Responsibilities

  • Lead Gridlines’ go-to-market efforts from day one
  • Build a strong opportunity pipeline and convert deals at pace
  • Deliver senior-facing advisory across infrastructure, PPP, and project finance
  • Coordinate with global delivery teams for modelling and technical execution
  • Establish and grow Gridlines’ brand presence in the region
  • Contribute to shaping regional and global expansion strategies as part of the leadership group

What We're Looking For

  • Strong business development track record with established client relationships
  • Background in infrastructure, PPP, and project finance advisory
  • Proven ability to lead client engagements end-to-end
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with commercial sharpness and ambition
  • Someone frustrated with big-firm bureaucracy and ready to build something of their own

If you can win work, deliver work, and build a market, this is the platform to scale on.

Why Join Gridlines

  • One global team with a unified delivery engine
  • Zero bureaucracy, zero politics
  • Competitive compensation
  • Performance-driven bonus structure
  • Equity eligibility after 2 years of proven success
  • Full autonomy to build your market with strong global backing
