Restructuring Senior Manager/AD

​Job Description

• SUMMARY: ROLE AND TEAM
  
  The purpose of this role is to provide senior leadership to the team, including proactively managing larger and more complex client engagements, as well as being responsible for guiding junior team members.
  
  Alongside this you will continue to develop your existing relevant technical and accountancy knowledge through on-the-job experience and a variety of training opportunities. In addition there are a range of opportunities to become involved in business development initiatives.
  This role is responsible to a designated director or partner on specific cases and ultimately to a dedicated people manager.
  
  The Business Restructuring team works on a wide variety of dynamic projects and the candidate will receive exposure to a large number of assignments across both the insolvency and advisory teams. This is an exciting opportunity for anyone looking for a constant variety of unique challenges.
  
  ROLE DESCRIPTION
  
  Knowledge or experience of both advisory and insolvency work would be advantageous, but we will equally welcome strong candidates with particular experience in one of these areas.
  
  ADVISORY STREAM
  
  The role requires strong financial analysis skills with the successful candidate able to identify and investigate key issues in a restructuring scenario, challenging information provided where appropriate. Excellent excel skills and an ability to undertake accurate and relevant analysis and interrogate financial models are essential.
  
  The successful candidate will be responsible for preparing Independent Business Reviews and other written output for director/ partner review and therefore the ability to produce high quality documents/ presentations that are capable of meeting stakeholder expectation with minimal senior input is also required.
  
  In addition the successful candidate will be able to quickly build up a strong rapport with management in often difficult and highly pressured circumstances.
  
  The role will provide an opportunity to work with an experienced partner-led team with exposure to a wide range of assignments and industries.
  
  INSOLVENCY STREAM
  
  The role requires an understanding of corporate insolvency procedures from start to finish, with a particular emphasis on Administrations, including pre-pack transactions. In addition, the successful candidate should also have a good understanding of Company Voluntary Arrangements, a strong awareness of the Corporate Governance and Insolvency Act 2020 and general technical/legal updates in the industry as well as experience of contingency planning and options reviews.
  The successful candidate will also have good analytical skills and understand the key areas of compliance and risk, as well as have the ability to produce written reports to a high standard, ready for director or partner review. Knowledge of IPS and strong Excel and Powerpoint skills will also be key.
  
  The role will require the individual to proactively progress an insolvency caseload, reporting to and working directly with senior colleagues, as well as managing junior staff.
