CRM Data Assistant Full Time NEW

Precise data on regional counterparties is the foundation of every commercial call we make for our clients. The CRM Data Assistant ensures our internal records reflect the reality of the business landscape in the Gulf, allowing our advisors to move with accuracy and confidence.

About Gulf Associates
Gulf Associates is a management consultancy built around the choices that move enterprises forward in the Gulf region. We advise boards, family groups, and international investors on the decisions that define their regional success. This work ranges from market entry and complex partnerships to long-term governance transitions. Our approach is direct. We focus on the commercial call itself rather than producing expansive reports that no one reads. This means understanding how counterparties and regulators actually behave and identifying the sequence of events over the coming years. Because we maintain a small book of active engagements, our senior team stays deeply involved in the work from start to finish. We are a fully remote firm, which allow us to bring together specialists who understand different sectors and regional dynamics without being tied to a physical hub. We look for people who prefer clear reasoning over corporate jargon and who value the discipline of getting the job done right.

What you will do

• Audit CRM entries for accuracy against public records, regional business registries, and official announcements.
• Synthesize research into clear profiles for potential business counterparties and local firms across the region.
• Monitor regional business news to update ownership structures and board changes for our internal database.
• Organize and tag commercial data to help our senior advisors identify relevant regional connections quickly.
• Verify that internal briefs match the most current data in our systems to avoid conflicting advice.
• Cleanse duplicate entries and maintain a high standard of data hygiene across our internal software platforms.
• Map out complex hierarchies within large family-owned conglomerates and sovereign entities to show clear lines of control.

What you bring
We are looking for someone who finds satisfaction in the details. You do not need years of consultancy experience, but you do need a natural curiosity about how businesses are structured and how they grow. You likely enjoy organizing complex information and checking facts before they are presented to others. A background in business administration, economics, or even information science is often helpful, although we care more about your ability to spot an inconsistency at a glance. We need someone who can follow a logical sequence and trace information back to its source. You should be comfortable working independently in a remote environment and maintaining a high level of discretion. Since our work involves sensitive commercial shifts and private associations, keeping information secure is a fundamental part of the job.

Working at Gulf Associates
Working here is different from a typical corporate consultancy. We do not value long, flowery emails or performative meetings. Instead, we focus on the logic behind a decision. As a CRM Data Assistant, you will see how accurate data translates directly into the commercial strategy we provide to boards and investors. Our team is spread across various regions, but we remain connected through clear communication and a shared commitment to high standards. We value people who are professional, quiet about their successes, and focused on the outcome. There is no hierarchy of ego here. Everyone on the team understands that grounded, verified information is the most important asset we have. You will have the space to do your work without micromanagement, provided the output is precise and reliable.

What the role offers

• Full remote flexibility with no requirement to visit an office or commute.
• Direct exposure to the commercial logic used by senior management consultants and regional advisors.
• The opportunity to build specialized knowledge of the Gulf business landscape and regional economics.
• A professional work culture that values focused execution over corporate busy-work and jargon.
• Clear internal processes that allow you to manage your own time and workload effectively.
• A stable position within a firm that prioritizes long-term relationships and high-stakes commercial outcomes.
