With the goal of accelerating the flow of projects, WaterConnect offers project development funding and expertise, particularly in legal and financial structuring, capital raising, climate resilience, and social and environmental impact, to supplement the pre-existing resources of project co-developers. WaterConnect seeks to develop a range of water projects, including both public private partnership projects for municipal infrastructure, as well as private industrial projects that mitigate water scarcity and reduce wastewater discharges. Projects can focus across the water value chain, from bulk supply through treatment, distribution, wastewater treatment, and reuse. WaterConnect coordinates closely with sister organizations, Water.org and WaterEquity, which offer complementary products, including private equity and construction-stage infrastructure project financing.  WaterConnect is in its second year of operations after spinning off from Water.org in 2024. It represents the latest in a series of innovations by Water.org to catalyze investment into water supply and sanitation in pursuit of achieving access for all, as highlighted by UN Sustainable Development Goal 6.     Summary  WaterConnect is seeking a commercially-driven infrastructure leader to originate, structure, develop, and execute WSS infrastructure projects in Central and South Asia, including both public-private-partnerships (PPPs) and private projects serving industrial offtakers. The role offers the opportunity to join a high impact startup company backed by a larger global group, and to build and lead a regional portfolio of infrastructure investments in one of the fastest-growing global water markets.  The Regional Director is responsible for originating and developing a pipeline of bankable WSS infrastructure investments, identifying opportunities, structuring partnerships, conducting due diligence, and advancing projects to financial close. This includes working with key stakeholders (including co-developers, municipal and industrial offtakers, and investors) to structure commercially viable infrastructure projects that attract private capital.   The Regional Director is expected to work closely with WaterConnect’s global team, and will report to the Chief Infrastructure Development Officer.   Job Responsibilities Regional Business Development - pipeline development  -  Identify and develop a pipeline of bankable WSS infrastructure opportunities suitable for private investment  - Develop and maintain relationships with various partners in the sector: private developers, technology providers, utilities, and investors   Regional portfolio growth  - Screen and due diligence potential partners and opportunities  - Prepare due diligence reports and present to approval committee  - Negotiate term sheets and development agreements, in partnership with WaterConnect colleagues   Regional project development execution  - Support WaterConnect project management team to oversee project development  - Support engagement and management of third-party service providers and vendors  - Engage with co-developers, offtakers, investors, regulators    Regional portfolio monitoring and management  - Ensure accurate, timely reporting on project progress, risks and related KPIs   - Local stakeholder management  - Identify opportunities to improve WSS infrastructure policy and regulations to promote private sector participation, private investment, environmental impact   Cross-functional support  - Contribute to strategic projects of WaterConnect and the larger group of companies, as needed from time to time
