The Restructuring team in London are looking for an Assistant Manager to join their team. We are looking for an individual to work alongside colleagues in the London Restructuring team which is responsible for providing insolvency and contingency planning advice to a range of businesses from large, complex situations often involving multi-jurisdictional advice, to working with small to medium size companies including director owned businesses. The team also delivers a blend of stakeholder advisory work, typically linked to providing advice around distressed businesses including independent business reviews, cash flow management, accelerated M&A processes and supporting restructuring via the use of insolvency procedures. The team is not aligned to specific sectors and specialisms, however there are individuals with significant experience in certain areas and situations, and we would welcome this in applicants. Applicants however should expect to work across all sectors as situations and clients demand. Where possible, assignments will be resourced to suit an individual's base location, but the nature and unpredictability of our work will mean that some travel (and possible international working) will be required. The role will involve working across a range of assignment types, as highlighted above, and applicants should be ready to work in dynamic, flexible and fast-moving environments.

Key Accountabilities

• Working in engagement teams of typically 3 to 6 people, supporting senior team members on a range of product types.
• Build strong, trusted adviser relationships with senior management and mid-level executives and other key stakeholders in engagements (including lawyers and contacts at banks and other lenders).
• Manage engagements and projects to scope, risk, time, quality and budget complying with Interpath's engagement management practices.
• On certain relevant assignments, overseeing work as the main point of contact with the client, reporting back to engagement leaders and other senior staff.
• Undertaking of detailed analysis to present robust advice to client teams.
• Appraise challenging & fast developing situations and look to develop innovative solutions and assess options for businesses and their stakeholders, which in certain instances may involve consideration of formal insolvency processes.
• Potential involvement in business development activities.
• Development of junior staff on assignments.

Requirements

• Qualified Chartered Accountant or background in the Restructuring profession.
• Corporate insolvency experience beneficial, and ideally an insolvency licence / CPI / JIEB qualification (or an intention to commence one/both qualifications) although this is not a requirement.
• Demonstrable experience in managing own work streams, within the Restructuring and Insolvency space.
• Strong commercial and business acumen.
• Ability to work innovatively with a track record of being able to ‘self-start' whilst also capable of effective delegation to teams of colleagues.
