About AlixPartners
At AlixPartners we solve the most complex and critical challenges by moving quickly from analysis to action when it really matters; creating value that has a lasting impact on companies, their people, and the communities they serve. By understanding, respecting, and honouring the needs of our employees, clients, and communities, AlixPartners actively promotes an inclusive environment. We strongly believe in the value that diversity brings to our experiences and are committed to the perpetual enhancements of initiatives, policies, and practices. We hold ourselves accountable by providing the space for authenticity, growth, and equity for everyone.

Our hybrid model combines a mix of in-person (at client site or AlixPartners office) and remote working. Travel is part of this position, but the frequency may vary based on client, team, and individual circumstances.
About the Turnaround & Restructuring Services Practice
We are in an increasingly busy restructuring market and our Turnaround & Restructuring Services practice has ambitious growth plans - this has created opportunities for individuals from a range of backgrounds. Composed of the most respected financial restructuring professionals in the industry, AlixPartners is widely recognised for its long and successful record in helping its clients resolve urgent situations and implement rapid change. We have deep expertise across the entire turnaround lifecycle, with our three main service offerings being:
- Company Advisory and Interim Management: Working closely with management teams to quickly stabilise crisis situations, protect their position and that of other investors, and deliver optimal outcomes. Our hands-on approach addresses challenges quickly - allowing us to turn around companies who are facing financial and operational challenges through a range of levers that support short-term and long-term ambitions and outcomes for organisations.
- Creditor Advisory: We rapidly assess situations, working closely with creditors and the management teams of their borrowers to review performance and develop strategies to protect creditors’ positions and deliver optimal outcomes in the most stressed and distressed situations. We have a breadth of knowledge dealing with cash, liquidity, strategy, refinancing and negotiation situations, getting to solutions fast, and implementing solutions through experience.
- Contingency Planning & Insolvency: We work closely with clients to preserve value by implementing solutions using formal UK and international restructuring tools and most importantly, our practical expertise. We excel in complex distressed situations, often involving multiple jurisdictions and diverse stakeholder groups.
