  • Develop investment-grade business cases and HBU (Highest & Best Use) studies to inform strategic decision-making.
  • Transaction Management & Stakeholder Engagement

  • Lead negotiations with government entities, developers, investors, and financial institutions to secure commercially sound and balanced agreements.
  • Drive governance and evaluation processes, including technical and financial committee reviews, evaluation reporting, and audit-ready documentation.
  • Facilitate cross-functional collaboration with legal, commercial, and technical teams to ensure project compliance and successful delivery.
  • Market Intelligence & Partnership Development

  • Conduct market sounding activities to test investor appetite, integrate market feedback, and refine project structures and KPIs.
  • Foster strategic partnerships with key public and private stakeholders to unlock new opportunities and enhance transaction outcomes.
  • Qualifications & Experience

  • Bachelors degree in Finance, Economics, Business Administration, or Engineering ; Masters degree (MBA or equivalent) preferred.
  • Minimum 8+ years of progressive experience in PPP project development, privatization, investment strategy, or infrastructure finance , ideally within a corporate investment, advisory, or government-linked environment.
  • Proven track record of leading full transaction cycles including feasibility studies, financial modelling, tendering, and negotiations.
