Job description

As an Investigator (Contentious Insolvency), you’ll be key in managing complex contentious insolvency investigations. Your technical expertise and leadership skills will ensure that matters are handled efficiently, compliantly, and professionally. While there may be a need to run a smaller portfolio of cases, your primary role will be to support the Contentious Insolvency Team (“CIT”) in the conduct of simple and complex investigations.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct detailed investigations into financial affairs, asset realisations, and director conduct, preparing reports for creditors and regulators.
• Independently manage a portfolio of corporate and personal insolvency cases, including administrations, liquidations, CVAs, and bankruptcies, from inception to closure.
• Ensure statutory deadlines are met and compliance with insolvency legislation and company procedures.
• Liaise with stakeholders, including creditors, debtors, solicitors, and financial institutions, to progress cases effectively.
• Provide investigation support and become a key member of the CIT liaising with the team via teams and in person on a daily basis.
• Play an active role in communicating within the team and across the wider Group.
• Ensure technical accuracy and compliance with statutory requirements.
• Keep up to date with changes in insolvency legislation, regulations, and best practices, sharing knowledge with the wider team.
• Support Partners and senior management in complex case matters and contribute to case strategy discussions.

What we're looking for:

• Demonstrate the ability to conduct complex investigations including analysing bank statements, accounting packages and other information to form a view on the enquiries that need to be made of directors.
• Strong track record of managing insolvency cases independently.
• In-depth knowledge of insolvency legislation and procedures, particularly in corporate insolvency.
• Proficiency in IPS (or similar software) and Microsoft Office applications.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to present complex information clearly and confidently.
• Excellent organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple priorities effectively.
• A proactive and curious approach with a strong sense of accountability and problem-solving skills.
• Certificate of Proficiency in Insolvency (CPI) or equivalent qualification.

As a broader PLC group, we’ve doubled in size since 2019 and we have ambitions to maintain that growth profile moving forward, so we’re looking for people who want to help us shape our future. We value applied intellect, curiosity and an entrepreneurial spirit and we’re committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.
