Insolvency Practitioner

Closeday is building the future of corporate insolvency. A future where closing a company is faster, clearer and far more efficient than the industry has ever allowed. Backed by substantial long‑term investment, we have the stability to build a sustainable, enduring business rather than one constrained by short funding cycles. Our platform already handles the full case lifecycle end‑to‑end, with automation accelerating rapidly. We are processing a steady flow of daily inbound leads and scaling case volume month by month, all while deliberately focusing on small, repeatable, high‑quality closures before expanding upmarket.

The Role: We are looking for a UK‑qualified Insolvency Practitioner to join our founding team before the end of this year and help shape the next stage of growth. You’ll work alongside our current IP in London, and the founding team to strengthen our appointment capacity, deepen our credibility in the market, and help refine the systems that will eventually support thousands of cases a year. This isn’t a traditional IP role. It’s hands‑on, commercially minded and deeply involved in product evolution. You’ll be part of a team that experiments and builds within a deeply compliant focused framework, and you’ll have a direct say in how technology transforms the profession. If you’re excited by the idea of combining your technical expertise with a platform that’s evolving at speed, you’ll fit right in.

What You’ll Do:

• Take on appointments early in your time with us.
• Handle MVL and CVL cases end‑to‑end while our automation matures.
• Help design scalable case frameworks that allow for delegation and leverage.
• Work closely with product and operations teams to shape digital workflows and automation.
• Bring professional credibility to our interactions with regulators, referrers and partners.
• Support business development through your network and industry presence.
• Contribute to thought leadership and help position Closeday as a high‑integrity, tech‑forward insolvency provider.
• Play a key role in building a stable, compliant, scalable foundation for long‑term growth.

What You Bring:

• Licenced UK Insolvency Practitioner, fully eligible to take corporate appointments, or a passed JIEB corporate qualification with a clear imminent path to obtaining a licence.
• Hands‑on MVL/CVL case experience.
• Strong understanding of UK insolvency regulation and compliant case closure.
• Confidence engaging with regulators, authorities and industry stakeholders.
• Commercial instincts and ideally some experience generating or converting work.
• A genuine belief that technology and AI can materially improve insolvency.
• Comfort with ambiguity, incomplete processes and building from scratch.
• The self‑assurance to work alongside fast‑moving founders and contribute your own perspective.
• London-based or able to be in the office and work closely with the Insolvency Practitioner 3–4 days a week although there is flexibility here.

What We Offer:

• Competitive base salary
• Equity — share in the upside you help create
• Professional growth – professional costs covered (licence, training, equipment, home setup)
• Impact – a chance to build something genuinely new.
• Influence – a voice at the table from day one.
• Culture – fast, collaborative, international, and fun.
• Scandinavian-style work/life balance.

If you want to help redefine how insolvency is delivered in the UK and you’re excited by the idea of doing it with technology, not despite it, we’d love to speak with you.

Recruitment Process: We have partnered with one of the leading insolvency recruitment agencies, Gambit Executive, to exclusively run the search. The first stage of the interviewing process will be an informal conversation with founder and hiring manager Martin Damhus to discuss the premise of the role, understand more about Closeday and to assess top-level alignment: motivational, values-wise and technically. Should things progress, conversations with the other co-founders will follow as well as a more detailed circa two-hour in person formal interview. If you wish to apply for the role, please do send through a CV directly to Closeday’s recruitment partner, Gambit Executive. Your application shall be reviewed and assessed against the requirements of the role. If successful, you will be shortlisted for an initial informal interview.
