We offer the full spectrum of restructuring services from business performance improvement and value creation through to stress, distress and insolvency offerings. Our advisory practice consists of corporate finance, transaction services, valuations, debt advisory, tax, pensions, forensic accounting and e‑discovery services.

We help our clients create, defend, preserve, sustain and grow value through the cycle. We work with businesses and their stakeholders across all areas of the market, from regional SMEs all the way up to large, complex multi‑national organisations.

Since our foundation in 2021, Interpath has grown rapidly and now has a presence across the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, South Africa, Algeria, India, BVI, Cayman Islands, Bermuda, Barbados, Hong Kong and Singapore. By 2030 we aim to be one of the world’s leading advisory firms with a truly global footprint.

Role Overview

Central to our growth ambitions is the creation of the Deal Strategy team within our Value Creation service line. Our Deal Strategy team works with investors and executive management teams, supporting them across the transaction cycle and helping accelerate their growth journeys. As the team develops, it will build capability across a number of sectors. This role is expected to support across sectors rather than specialise in one area.

This is a unique opportunity to contribute to the growth of a new service line in an established and successful business. As an Associate Director in Deal Strategy at Interpath, you will help build and deliver the Deal Strategy service line across multiple sectors, supporting UK, European and international markets.

• Lead multiple projects, pre‑deal and post‑deal, across areas such as Deal Strategy, commercial due diligence (CDD), growth strategy and value creation.
• Build excellent stakeholder relationships and enhance the reputation of the team as a trusted advisor across a range of sectors.
• Support and manage junior members on projects, ensuring a culture of collaboration and enabling them to expand their skill sets.
• Work with Interpath industry experts, leveraging their experience and expertise on projects to benefit client outcomes.
• Contribute to thought leadership, insight reports and research to help identify themes, drive value creation and deliver meaningful results.

Requirements

• A minimum of 6 years in strategy consulting, with a particular focus on Private Equity and deals.
• Track record of leading projects in commercial due diligence (CDD) and growth strategy.
• Experience leading and developing teams.
• Entrepreneurial mindset to play a key role in building the team and the business.
• Ability to work across multiple sectors, applying structured commercial thinking to different clients, markets and business models.
• A willingness to support wider Strategy and Value Creation projects across sectors where needed.
• Native or fluent English is essential. Additional European languages, including French, Spanish or German, are very advantageous.
