BLACKBULL – ESCROW & CONSORTIUM MANAGER
Fundraising | Asset Management | Banking & Credit | Project Finance
Location: Dubai, UAE
Work Model: Hybrid
Project Scope: Dubai-based management for one major India-linked project
Engagement: Senior Management / Project-Based Position
Benefits: Salary + Performance Incentives + Potential Equity, subject to agreed milestones and performance
COMPANY DESCRIPTION
BLACKBULL LAW HOUSE, a corporate legal and LegalTech organization working in coordination with the BLACKBULL Chamber of Investment, is developing an integrated India–UAE platform for project finance, asset management, fundraising, corporate legal management, banking relationships, and institutional investment collaboration.
For a specific large-scale project, BLACKBULL is seeking an experienced Escrow & Consortium Manager capable of coordinating the financial architecture of the project across banking, asset management, fundraising, credit, escrow, and institutional relationships.
This is a specialized execution position requiring practical knowledge of how assets, project cash flows, banking facilities, investor capital, security structures, and institutional funding can be organized within a professionally controlled financial framework.
ROLE DESCRIPTION
The Escrow & Consortium Manager will be responsible for developing and coordinating the banking, escrow, consortium, fundraising, asset-management, and credit framework required for one designated BLACKBULL project.
The professional should understand both sides of project financing: how capital is raised and how capital, assets, security, cash flows, and investor/lender interests are controlled after funding.
The selected candidate will work with BLACKBULL management, legal professionals, banks, investors, asset owners, financial institutions, lenders, NBFCs, fund managers, valuers, auditors, and other transaction participants.
This is not a conventional relationship-manager position. The role requires a professional capable of taking a project from financial structuring and consortium development through due diligence, banking negotiations, escrow architecture, fundraising coordination, documentation, and ultimately financial closure.
PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES
Develop an appropriate escrow framework for the designated project in coordination with licensed banks, financial institutions, legal counsel, and other authorized service providers.
The candidate should understand:
The Manager will coordinate the structure rather than independently perform any regulated banking, custody, trustee, or fund-management activity requiring a licence.
Identify and coordinate suitable banks, NBFCs, private credit providers, financial institutions, institutional investors, and other eligible financing partners for the project.
Responsibilities include developing a consortium or multi-institution funding strategy where appropriate, determining potential participation levels, coordinating information requirements, and supporting negotiations between participating institutions.
The candidate should understand consortium lending, syndicated facilities, senior and subordinate debt, working-capital facilities, term loans, structured credit, asset-backed facilities, and project-finance structures.
Develop and execute a fundraising strategy for the project through suitable:
Banks | NBFCs | Family Offices | Private Credit Funds | Institutional Investors | Strategic Investors | PE Funds | Corporate Investors | International Investment Channels
Depending upon project suitability, the financing structure may include:
Debt + Equity + Structured Credit + Asset-Backed Finance + Strategic Investment + Revenue/Profit Participation
The candidate should have the capability to identify decision-makers, present the project professionally, coordinate investor discussions, negotiate commercial terms, and progress credible opportunities toward closure.
Evaluate how the project's underlying assets can support financing and capital formation.
Responsibilities may include coordinating:
The objective is to develop an institutionally acceptable asset and project portfolio capable of supporting appropriate fundraising and credit discussions.
The Manager should have strong practical knowledge of how banks evaluate project and corporate credit.
This includes understanding:
The professional should be capable of converting the project's commercial information into a bankable financial proposition.
ONE-PROJECT MANDATE
This appointment is initially designed around one designated project.
The selected professional will be expected to study the complete project, understand its assets and revenue model, identify financial weaknesses, establish an appropriate funding architecture, develop banking and investor relationships, and coordinate execution.
Performance will therefore be measured primarily through actual project development and transaction progress, rather than networking activity alone.
Expected deliverables may include:
REQUIRED EXPERIENCE
BLACKBULL is seeking candidates with approximately 10+ years of relevant experience across banking, project finance, asset management, fundraising, corporate finance, structured finance, private credit, investment management, or institutional lending.
Strong preference will be given to professionals with demonstrable experience in:
Candidates with established relationships across UAE and Indian banks, NBFCs, investment funds, family offices, private credit institutions, asset managers, and corporate investors will have a significant advantage.
IDEAL CANDIDATE
BLACKBULL requires a professional who can understand four critical elements simultaneously:
BANKING + ASSETS + FUNDRAISING + FINANCIAL CONTROL
The successful candidate should not simply introduce investors or banks. The individual should understand how to structure the complete financial ecosystem around the project—from assets and bankability through fundraising, escrow controls, consortium participation, utilization of funds, repayment mechanisms, and investor returns.
COMPENSATION & LONG-TERM OPPORTUNITY
For a suitably experienced professional, BLACKBULL may offer:
Fixed Salary + Project-Based Incentives + Successful Transaction Benefits + Potential Equity/Long-Term Participation
Compensation and equity participation will depend upon experience, responsibilities, agreed milestones, transaction execution, and measurable contribution.
Candidates should be prepared to explain their previous transaction experience, banking and investor network, fundraising capability, consortium-development experience, and a practical strategy for bringing the designated project toward financial closure.
BLACKBULL is specifically seeking an execution-oriented finance professional capable of building and managing the financial architecture of one major project—not merely providing introductions or general advisory services.
All fundraising, escrow, banking, asset-management, credit, investment, and cross-border arrangements will remain subject to applicable licensing, KYC/AML, banking, foreign-exchange, securities, tax, and other regulatory requirements in the relevant jurisdictions.
