Director, Restructuring | London | US Boutique

Overview

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.

Candidate Profile

• Strong restructuring advisory background gained within a reputable advisory, insolvency, or special situations platform.
• Demonstrable experience in interim management roles, including hands-on cash management and short-term decision making.
• Proven track record of producing and managing 13-week cashflows in time-critical environments.
• Exposure to liquidating trustee appointments, formal insolvency, or wind-down processes.
• Comfortable operating autonomously and being placed directly with management teams, lenders, and stakeholders.
• Highly execution-driven mindset, with evidence of having spent significant time in the trenches delivering work.
• Ability to operate at VP to Director level on smaller and mid-sized engagements, taking responsibility for the majority of execution.

The Opportunity

• Join a busy and growing restructuring practice with strong deal flow.
• Significant responsibility and visibility from day one.
• Opportunity to play a key role in expanding execution capacity within a lean, high-quality team.
• Ideal for candidates motivated by hands-on problem solving rather than purely supervisory roles.
