Step into a pivotal role with PwC’s Restructuring & Insolvency (R&I) Team as a Manager where your perspectives are valued and your skills can grow. We offer both advisory and executory restructuring services, working with a diverse range of clients and stakeholders, including corporates, banks, funds, sponsors and many more.

Being part of the R&I Team provides a unique opportunity to gain experience across both advisory and executory restructuring service offerings:

These projects include working with them as they develop their business plans, performing independent business reviews (IBRs), strategic reviews, options analysis, cash‑flow management and much more.

Our work includes all aspects of pre‑insolvency advice and options assessment, contingency planning, or executing administration, liquidations and other rescue mechanisms.
