This job is brought to you by Jobs/Redefined, the UK's leading over-50s age inclusive jobs board.
At EY, you'll have the chance to build a career as unique as you are, with the global scale, support, inclusive culture and technology to become the best version of you. And we're counting on your unique voice and perspective to help EY become even better, too. Join us and build an exceptional experience for yourself, and a better working world for all.
The Opportunity
EY's Turnaround and Restructuring Strategy (TRS) team is one of the leading teams of its kind in the market, working with stressed and challenged businesses. TRS is part of EY's Strategy & Transactions business, working with companies and stakeholders at times of change, and often at an exciting pace. TRS covers a number of different sub business units and geographies in the UK and you may have the opportunity to work across different teams in your career with TRS.
Our clients can be companies, government bodies or financial stakeholders like lenders or shareholders. They might be on the brink of a crisis, or simply looking to build greater resilience into their business. In TRS we work closely with our clients to deliver the financial and organisational solutions that enable them to adapt and succeed or minimise the downside risks that they are facing.
The work involves understanding the drivers of value in a business and problem solving to manage the priorities of competing stakeholders. People who flourish in TRS want to think broadly about what drives value in a company's performance and the factors that can drive underperformance or failure. Many of our strong performers have moved from other disciplines (Audit, Tax, Forensics) or wider SaT and have varied experience and knowledge which can be applied to a range of project situations. In TRS we are experiencing an increase in demand for our services, so there is real opportunity to develop and grow your career.
Whilst we do work at pace at times, the team is a welcoming and inclusive place with a good balance of hybrid working and an enjoyable team environment, where you can bring your whole self to work.
Your Key Responsibilities
As a 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 tasked to deal with discreet aspects of assignments, communicating issues to the Partner / Director and driving the project to completion with limited supervision from the Partner / Director.
We'll want you to be active in establishing and nurturing relationships - both inside EY with different specialist teams across the firm, and externally - for example with client staff or lawyers - as relationship-building is an important and valued skill in TRS.
You will also fit in to our positive learning culture from day one. You will bring your existing skills/knowledge and coach people in these where that is relevant and applicable to our work, and you will be valued for your efforts to coach and counsel team members to help them develop.
