Director – Restructuring Advisory
Location: Manchester | Hybrid
Level: Director / Senior Manager ready to step up
Sector: Restructuring & Turnaround Advisory
Package: Highly competitive + benefits
GMP Recruitment is partnering with a leading international advisory firm to appoint a Director within its growing Restructuring Advisory practice in Manchester.
This is a senior, commercially focused appointment offering the opportunity to take a leading role in complex restructuring and turnaround assignments across the UK.
The successful individual will work with corporates, lenders, financial sponsors, and other stakeholders in stressed and distressed situations, with a particular emphasis on non-formal restructuring and advisory work rather than purely formal insolvency appointments.
The Role
You will take ownership of restructuring engagements from the initial client conversation through to delivery and final review, working closely with senior leadership while managing and developing more junior members of the team.
Assignments will include:
- Independent Business Reviews (IBRs)
- Short-term cash-flow modelling and liquidity reviews
- Integrated financial forecasting
- Pre-lending and viability reviews
- Strategic and restructuring options reviews
- Contingency planning
- Debt refinancing and lender negotiations
- Stakeholder management
- HMRC Time to Pay arrangements
- Accelerated M&A
- Wider turnaround and restructuring advisory assignments
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Alongside delivery, this is a genuinely commercial role.
You will build relationships across the regional market, develop your own professional network, and play an active part in winning new mandates. This will include contributing to pitches, tenders, and lender panels as well as developing relationships with lenders, lawyers, investors, and the wider professional-services community.
What We're Looking For
We are particularly interested in speaking with individuals currently operating at Senior Manager, Associate Director, or Director level within Restructuring, Turnaround, or a closely aligned Advisory practice.
You will ideally bring:
- Significant restructuring and financial advisory experience
- Experience taking responsibility for assignments from origination through to completion
- Strong financial analysis, cash-flow, and forecasting capabilities
- Confidence managing senior clients, lenders, and other stakeholders
- Experience supervising, mentoring, and developing advisory teams
- Commercial awareness around engagement economics, recoveries, and billings
- A demonstrable network and appetite for business development
- ACA, ACCA, or an equivalent professional accounting qualification
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience within a leading accountancy, restructuring, or advisory firm would be particularly relevant. An insolvency qualification or formal insolvency experience would be advantageous, but the emphasis of this appointment is firmly on advisory, restructuring, and turnaround capability.
Why Consider It?
This is an opportunity to join an established international advisory platform while playing a significant role in the continued development of its Manchester and wider UK Restructuring offering.
For somebody already established at Senior Manager or Associate Director level, there is an opportunity to step into a role offering considerably greater ownership, visibility, and influence.
For an existing Director, it offers a strong platform from which to originate work, lead complex mandates, and further develop a profile within the UK restructuring market.
All enquiries will be handled in the strictest confidence.
