About The Meridian Collective

The Meridian
Collective is a social enterprise and the implementation engine for
the Global South. We bridge the gap between "sovereign intent"
and "corporate agility" by building public-private delivery nexuses
for the energy transition. We focus on moving projects through the technical,
political, and operational "valley of death" to final commissioned
assets.

The Objective

We are seeking a
senior expert to co-author a Strategic White Paper addressing the
"Beneficiation Gap" in the Global South. You will lead the mapping of
private-sector bottlenecks and the "Four-Pillar Framework" for
de-risking critical mineral midstreams (Data, Capex/Opex, Off-take, and
Stability).

Key Responsibilities
- Technical Authorship: Provide
deep-tissue technical and financial insights for the Meridian Collective’s




White Paper on critical mineral midstream.
- Cost Modeling: Develop
granular indicators for CAPEX and OPEX in jurisdictions like Andhra
Pradesh, Indonesia, and Malaysia, specifically breaking down costs for
specialized facilities like chemical leaching and MSX.
- Market Intelligence: Advise on the
structure of Market Offset Buyers Agreements (MOBA) and
"Pull-Through Contracts" between subnational governments,
beneficiation firms, and OEMs like Tesla or Apple.
- Subnational Policy Design: Help
"templatize" standardized subnational policy frameworks and
incentive structures that balance investor ROI with local economic
beneficiation.

Required Qualifications
- Industry Seniority: 15+ years of
experience in the mining and minerals industry, with a direct focus on beneficiation,
processing, and midstream value-addition.
- Global South Expertise: Proven track
record of operational or strategic work in high-potentia
