• Support review of sponsors, state-owned entities, governance structures and local relationships.
• Distinguish formal legal requirements from practical implementation conditions.
• Identify country-specific information gaps and appropriate sources for validation.
• Support sponsor, government, Embassy, supplier, customer and financing-source engagement.
• Plan and support international meetings, site visits and field verification.
• Conduct or support professional discussions in French, Arabic or Portuguese where qualified.
• Integrate regional findings with geological, technical, environmental, commercial and financial analyses.
• Identify realistic opportunities and barriers for U.S. companies.
• Contribute to feasibility-study or technical-assistance terms of reference, budgets and schedules.
• Prepare concise country, stakeholder and implementation findings for senior government decision-makers.
• Serve as an assignment lead, regional lead, contributor, same-region alternate or independent reviewer.

Required Qualifications

• Direct professional experience in multiple regional jurisdictions or exceptional depth in one or more priority countries.
• Demonstrated ability to connect country and stakeholder conditions to project feasibility, schedule, cost, risk and financeability.
• Experience engaging government agencies, state-owned enterprises, project sponsors, communities, engineering firms, investors, lenders or development institutions.
• Professional capability in French, Arabic, Portuguese or another relevant regional language is highly desirable.
• Strong written and verbal English-language communication skills.
• Ability to produce concise, decision-oriented analysis for senior government or commercial audiences.
• Ability to collaborate across technical, environmental, commercial and financial disciplines.
• Either U.S. citizenship or lawful permanent-resident status in the United States.
• Legal authorization to work in the United States without current or future sponsorship.
• Willingness and ability to travel throughout Africa or the Middle East when an assignment requires it.
