We'll want you to be active in establishing and nurturing relationships - both inside EY with different specialist teams across the firm, and externally - for example with client staff, lenders or lawyers - as relationship‑building is an important and valued skill in Financial Restructuring. You will also fit in to our positive learning culture from day one. You will bring your existing skills/knowledge and coach people in these where that is relevant and applicable to our work, and you will be valued for your efforts to coach and counsel team members to help them develop.

• Ability to share technical and other knowledge with the team drawing on previous experience and current learning.
• Demonstrate professionalism and confidence to deal with a range of stakeholder groups and management teams.
• Good project management skills, with the ability to manage more than one assignment at a time and yet still demonstrate quality and consistency of performance in every task.
• Adapt well to change and have a flexible and positive approach.
• Ideally, the right candidate would have experience of working on situations which have involved in‑court restructuring solutions such as CVA, Restructuring Plans, Scheme of Arrangement etc, and Administration.
• Desire to support the people development of TRS – contributing to or leading training courses, recruitment, and team / wellbeing activities.
• Strong appreciation of risk management.

Qualifications

• Professional accountancy qualification.
• Previous experience of working within a Restructuring environment.
• Experience working on independent business reviews, cashflow forecasting for corporate or lender clients.
• The ability to build strong internal relationships within Restructuring and across other services, and can actively participate in business development.
• Skills or desire to be a good manager of people – coaching, providing feedback and performance reviews to junior staff.
• Appreciation of the risks inherent in advising distressed businesses and their stakeholders.

Preferred

• Experience working on large complex restructuring cases with multiple lenders or other stakeholders.
• People development experience and can effectively supervise, coach and mentor staff.
• Own network of contacts with work providers, or will understand how to build one.
