A Rare Leadership Opportunity in Restructuring & Insolvency

Take a leadership seat in a national advisory firm expanding its Restructuring & Insolvency practice. With a strong pipeline of appointments, the backing of a respected brand, and an entrepreneurial leadership team, this is your chance to shape the Sydney practice, drive strategic growth, and make a lasting impact.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Freedom to Lead – define and grow the practice your way.
• Complex Matters – work on trading administrations, large receiverships, and high‑profile appointments.
• Strong Referral Base – leverage established networks of banks, lawyers, and advisors.
• People-First Culture – collaborative, supportive, and built on long‑term trust.

The Role

• Lead and manage complex corporate insolvency and restructuring engagements.
• Win and grow work through strong networks with lawyers, bankers, and referrers.
• Mentor, develop, and inspire a high‑performing team.
• Partner with national leadership to set the strategic direction of the Sydney practice.
• Deliver pragmatic, commercial solutions in high‑pressure, distressed environments.

About You

• 8+ years’ experience in Restructuring & Insolvency at Big 4, mid‑tier, or boutique firms.
• CA/CPA qualified; ARITA Advanced Certification highly regarded.
• Proven track record managing major appointments and driving business development.
• Strong professional networks across the insolvency ecosystem.
• Leadership style that balances commercial drive with collaboration and mentorship.

What’s on Offer

• Supportive leadership team valuing trust, care, and professional excellence.
• Attractive remuneration, equity progression, and flexible working arrangements.
