Associate Director, Strategic Intelligence – Singapore

The Role

An Associate Director owns G3’s most demanding engagements. In any given month, an Associate Director may help a deal team weigh the commercial risks in a major transaction or advise on how shifting political dynamics should shape a client’s positioning.

Much of this work is informed by G3’s network – a global community of contacts cultivated over many years, whose perspective and access make our advice possible. Associate Directors learn to draw on the network and, over time, contribute to it.

At the heart of the role is judgement. We are brought into complex, ambiguous situations to provide clients with insight to support their decision-making. Associate Directors are expected to move between sectors, jurisdictions, and subject areas they may have had no prior exposure to. What matters is not what they already know, but the speed at which they can get to grips with a problem and the judgment they bring to bear once they do.

How we frame and deliver our work is central to what we do, and much of our advice is delivered in writing and on calls with senior clients. We expect Associate Directors to be articulate, precise, and confident advisers who can hold their own with decision-makers.

What we are looking for

We are looking for candidates with at least eight years’ experience in law, finance, consulting, corporate strategy, government, or comparable environments.

We do not hire for a single profile, and our work benefits from a range of perspectives. Typically, excellent candidates:

• Are already exceptional project managers and are able to run demanding engagements end-to-end with limited oversight.
• Are investigative by instinct: curious, persistent, and entrepreneurial in finding what they need.
• Have high emotional intelligence and sound commercial judgement, quick to grasp what a client is really worried about and trusted to counsel them on it.
• Are strong generalists, with an excellent academic background and a demonstrable interest in writing, reasoning, and learning.

We also look for people who want to be part of building something. G3 is a growing firm, and the people who thrive here not only deliver excellent client work but also help shape the firm itself.

What comes next

Associate Directors are central to G3. They lead client projects, deepen their advisory and client-management skills, and, over time, build the broader experience needed to become a Director. This includes:

• Client management: leading client engagements and being accountable for their quality;
• People management: taking responsibility for small teams and the development of the colleagues within them;
• Firm-wide understanding: learning how every part of G3 works and supporting the operational success of the company.

The people who progress furthest are those who set the standard for those around them, are committed to bringing colleagues along, and care about the firm’s growth as much as their own success.
The route from Associate Director is to Director, which carries full responsibility for a team alongside greater strategic responsibility and the long-term stewardship of G3’s practices and client relationships. Some have moved into senior operational and business development roles at the firm.
