The Insolvency/IPS Product Lead owns the end‑to‑end management, operation, and continuous improvement of the Insolvency Practitioner System (IPS) across Interpath’s global restructuring business. This includes ensuring IPS supports efficient operations while meeting regulatory requirements and industry best practice. The role covers day‑to‑day product ownership, including user support, training, adoption, and driving ongoing enhancements to maximise platform value. A key priority is leading the transition from the on‑premise IPS SQL platform to IPS Cloud. This involves managing a critical transformation programme, working with the vendor, internal SMEs, and client‑facing teams to prepare, test, and migrate systems and data. The role also oversees pre‑migration configuration, ensuring security, user roles, and workflows are aligned for a smooth transition. The role acts as the primary interface between business users, technology teams, and external partners, ensuring IPS meets current and future needs. It balances BAU support with strategic development, maintaining system stability while driving improvements in functionality, compliance, and user experience.

Values

• Do the right thing: Our comfort zone is uncomfortable. We always make the right decision, not simply what is easy or popular.
• All hands on deck: Stand shoulder‑to‑shoulder with colleagues and clients, be that physically or from afar.
• Passion drives success: The impossible is always possible. We push the boundaries of what is expected because we're never satisfied with the status quo.
• Embrace different: We welcome all cultures and mindsets. We believe that people are equal, but not the same.
