Manager, Legal Entity Restructuring in Birmingham

We help clients ensure their legal entity structures are fit for purpose, from designing and implementing structures to facilitate M&A, carve-outs and other restructuring activities, through to rationalising and simplifying group structures to reduce risk, cost and complexity.

About the role:

• As a Manager you will take ownership of client engagements and be accountable for both delivery and commercial outcomes.
• You will operate with a high degree of autonomy, working closely with Partners and Directors on strategy, risk management and client relationships.
• Lead and manage significant elements of LER engagements, reporting directly to Partners and Directors and acting as a key point of contact for clients.
• Take ownership of case economics, including budgeting, forecasting, fee management and margin control, proactively identifying opportunities to manage cost and deliver work efficiently without compromising quality or risk.
• Manage and oversee a portfolio of UK solvent liquidations, from initial client onboarding and appointment through to execution of the liquidation strategy, ensuring appropriate risk management, governance and cost control.
• Lead complex analysis and client discussions to understand objectives, key business drivers and constraints, translating these into pragmatic and commercially viable restructuring or simplification solutions.
• Identify, manage and mitigate delivery, legal and commercial risks across engagements, escalating issues where appropriate and proposing solutions.
• Drive innovation in how work is delivered, including the use of technology, data, standardisation and alternative delivery models to improve scalability, efficiency and client outcomes.
• Coordinate effectively with cross-Line of Service teams, the PwC global network and external professional advisers to deliver integrated solutions.
• Coach, develop and performance-manage junior team members, playing an active role in building capability, engagement and a strong team culture.
• Contribute to marketing and business development activities, including proposals, thought leadership and identifying opportunities to grow existing and new client relationships.

What your days will look like:

• Supporting live transactions end-to-end, from origination and marketing through to execution and completion, with ownership over key workstreams.
• Building trusted client relationships and delivering high quality work, across pitch documents, marketing materials, financial analysis and other transaction deliverables.
• Getting involved in our origination efforts; conducting detailed market, financial and commercial research, supporting with proposals, and meeting with potential targets.
• Supporting and coaching junior team members, fostering a collaborative and high-performing team environment.

This role is for you if:

• You have experience managing corporate simplification programmes and/or UK solvent liquidations, with a strong understanding of associated legal, commercial and risk considerations.
• Have demonstrated ability to lead and manage complex projects end-to-end, taking ownership of scope, delivery plans, milestones, dependencies and outcomes across multiple concurrent engagements.
• Strong commercial acumen, with experience managing engagement economics including budgets, fees, resourcing and recoverability, and making informed decisions to balance risk, cost and client value.
• Proven stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build trusted relationships and engage credibly with senior client stakeholders, Partners, Directors, cross-Line of Service teams and external advisers.
• A problem-solving and enquiring mindset, with the confidence to challenge existing approaches, manage ambiguity and introduce innovative ways of working to improve delivery efficiency and manage risk.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including clear, concise report writing and the ability to present complex issues in a structured and pragmatic way.
• Strong people leadership capability, with experience coaching, developing and performance-managing junior team members and contributing to their progression.
