Job description

Can be based in Leeds, Manchester or Newcastle upon Tyne

Interpath is an international and fast-growing advisory business with deep expertise in a broad range of specialisms spanning deals, advisory and restructuring capabilities.

We deliver tangible results for global businesses, their investors, and stakeholders when complex problems arise, and critical decisions need to be made. Interpath is agile, independent, and conflict-free, and our passion for doing what’s right, every time, sets us apart.

Our diverse teams provide specialist technical knowledge combined with deep sector experience across our service line specialisms. Since our foundation in 2021, Interpath has grown rapidly, and we now have a presence across the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, BVI, Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Barbados, Hong Kong, Singapore, India and South Africa. By 2030 we aim to be one of the world’s leading advisory firms with a truly global footprint.

Our National Markets - North Restructuring team are looking for an Assistant Manager to join the team. We are looking for an individual to work alongside colleagues in the Core Insolvency Restructuring team which is responsible for providing insolvency and contingency planning advice in large, complex situations often involving multi-jurisdictional advice.

The team delivers a blend of stakeholder advisory work, typically linked to providing advice around distressed businesses and supporting restructuring via the use of insolvency procedures as well as undertaking formal insolvency work for typically large and complex institutions.

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 client’s 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

Responsibilities:

• Working in engagement teams of typically 3 to 6 people, supporting senior team members on a range of product types.

• Manage engagements and projects to scope, time, quality and budget complying with Interpaths 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.

• 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 new product development or business development activities.


• Development of junior staff on assignments.

Requirements

• ACA qualified (or due to qualify in 2026) or an experienced restructuring professional.


• Some corporate insolvency experience beneficial, and ideally an insolvency licence / JIEB qualification (or an intention to commence this qualification) although this is not a requirement.


• Demonstrable experience managing your own workstreams within Restructuring and Insolvency engagements.


• Strong commercial awareness and business acumen.


• A proactive self-starter with the ability to work independently, while also effectively delegating and collaborating within wider teams.


• A strong desire to broaden insolvency expertise and develop across the full range of restructuring services.


• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to engage effectively with stakeholders at all levels, often in challenging or sensitive circumstances.
