Key Responsibilities
As a Financial Restructuring Assistant Director, you’ll manage the restructuring engagement by defining the engagement scope in consultation with the Director/Partner and executing it in compliance with our policies and protocols.
You will take responsibility for leading engagements, reporting to the engagement Partner or Director, project‑managing the rest of the team, coordinating deliverables from teams handling discreet aspects of assignments, communicating issues to the Partner/Director, and driving the project to completion with limited supervision.
You will actively establish and nurture relationships both inside EY with specialist teams across the firm and externally, for example with client staff or business intermediaries, as relationship‑building and having a positive visibility in the market is an important and valued skill in FR.
From day one you will fit into our positive learning culture, bringing your existing skills and knowledge and coaching people where relevant and applicable to our work, and you will be valued for your efforts to coach and counsel team members to help them develop.
