Job description

Insolvency Practitioner – Director or Partner (Greater Manchester)

A highly successful and rapidly expanding accountancy practice is seeking an Insolvency Practitioner (JIEB‑qualified) to cover their presence across Greater Manchester as either Director or Partner, depending on experience.

This is a rare opportunity to step into a firm with a significant internal referral network already generating consistent insolvency opportunities, while also giving you the autonomy to shape and grow your own external profile.

The Opportunity

You’ll be joining a business with a strong UK footprint and a collaborative culture that actively supports its IPs. The role is designed for someone who can:

• Take formal appointments and lead cases with confidence
• Win work through networking, relationship‑building, and leveraging the firm’s extensive internal network
• Refer work externally to the wider insolvency market and, in turn, benefit from reciprocal referrals
• Build and maintain trusted relationships with accountants, lawyers, lenders, and other introducers
• Play a key role in the continued growth of the regional practice

The firm already has a substantial internal pipeline, so you won’t be starting from scratch, but they’re looking for someone who can also bring or develop a small external network to complement this.

About You

To succeed in this role, you will need:

• JIEB qualification and the ability to obtain an IP licence if you don’t hold one already
• A track record of managing corporate and/or personal insolvency cases
• Strong commercial instincts and the confidence to represent the firm in the market
• An existing introducer network would be advantageous, but not essential
• A collaborative mindset and the desire to help shape a growing practice

Why This Role Stands Out

• A genuine Director or Partner‑level opportunity
• A firm with real internal referral strength, meaning immediate access to work
• Freedom to build your own network and market presence
• A supportive leadership team that values autonomy and entrepreneurial thinking
• Competitive package aligned to seniority and contribution
