Director - Restructuring Advisory
Location: London
Platform: US Boutique
A leading independent advisory firm is seeking to appoint an experienced Director into its London-based Restructuring Advisory practice. This hire is driven by sustained growth in live mandates, increased pitch activity, and a need to add senior execution capacity to the team.
The role is suited to a highly hands-on restructuring professional who has operated in pressured, real-world situations and is comfortable being deployed independently on small to mid-sized engagements. The focus is firmly on delivery rather than oversight.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead and independently manage restructuring assignments across stressed and distressed situations.
- Act in interim management capacities, including liquidity management and operational stabilisation during periods of financial distress.
- Build, own, and deliver 13-week cashflow forecasts and short-term liquidity models in live situations.
- Support and lead liquidating trustee and wind-down engagements where required.
- Run client workstreams end-to-end with limited supervision, acting as a self-sufficient project lead.
- Be deployable at short notice onto live situations, with the ability to "carry" smaller and mid-market restructurings.
- Contribute to business development activity, particularly supporting a growing volume of restructuring pitches and proposals.
