Job description

Our Role

We are seeking an experienced and motivated Litigation Manager to lead our Litigation team and oversee legal recovery activity across both English and Scottish jurisdictions.

This is an opportunity to combine hands‑on litigation expertise with people leadership, taking ownership of complex debt recovery cases while coaching and developing a high-performing team. Working closely with senior stakeholders and external solicitors, you'll drive successful recovery outcomes, manage legal risk, and continuously improve our litigation processes.

If you're a results-driven, experienced litigation professional with a passion for developing high-performing teams, influencing decisions and making a measurable impact, we'd love to hear from you.

What you'll be doing

Lead, coach and develop a high-performing Litigation Team, creating a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.
Oversee the end‑to‑end litigation process, making informed decisions on legal action, enforcement activity and debt recovery strategies, ensuring legal action is pursued only where there is a clear likelihood of return or a need to minimise wholesale cost exposure.
Partner with external solicitors across both jurisdictions to manage cases through to resolution, including witness statement preparation, settlements, mediation and court hearings.
Represent the company at trials and final hearings in both jurisdictions to recover overdue debts.
Provide expert guidance on litigation strategy, legal risk and commercial outcomes to senior management.
Drive operational excellence by identifying opportunities to improve processes, performance and recovery outcomes.
Build strong relationships across the business, providing clear updates and insight on case progress and results.

What success looks like

Leading a specialist Litigation team and playing a key role in shaping debt recovery strategy.
Taking ownership of complex, high-value cases across England and Scotland, managing litigation activity from initial review through to successful resolution.
Building great relationships with senior leaders and external legal experts, providing trusted advice on litigation strategy, commercial risk and recovery opportunities.
Developing and growing a high-performing team, creating a culture of accountability, continuous improvement and professional development.

What you'll bring

Previous experience managing litigation and attending court hearings within a debt recovery or collections role.
Strong knowledge of debt recovery litigation processes, legal filing procedures, and courtroom protocols.
Experience managing debt collection cases through the full litigation cycle, from initiation to judgment.
Experience working in a collection environment, specifically with large customer bases or commercial accounts.
In-depth knowledge of legal processes impacting the collection of debt, including litigation and enforcement across both England and Scotland.
Experience managing, coaching or supporting a team within a litigation, collections, recoveries or operational environment.
