Why this opportunity?

Take full ownership of restructuring and insolvency mandates within a growing Midlands platform built on a genuinely hybrid model.

Managers operate as true end‑to‑end case leads, maintaining hands‑on involvement across complex and larger‑scale assignments.

What you’ll be doing

• Lead administrations, CVLs and turnaround assignments end‑to‑end
• Deliver financial analysis to support restructuring strategies
• Manage and mentor Assistant Managers and Administrators
• Engage lenders and senior stakeholders on complex cases
• Strong hands‑on case management capability
• Confidence managing junior team members
