Job Description

Our client is a respected insolvency and restructuring practice with a strong presence in the London market. They are looking for an experienced and commercially minded Insolvency Director to join their team on a hybrid basis.

This is a genuine senior leadership opportunity. You will take ownership of a portfolio of complex corporate appointments, play an active role in shaping the firm's growth, and lead a capable team of insolvency professionals. If you are an insolvency professional who is ready to step up, or already operating at Director level and seeking a more rewarding platform, this is worth exploring.

What You'll Be Doing
  • Managing a portfolio of corporate insolvency appointments (including CVLs, administrations, and MVLs) from inception through to conclusion
  • Advising company directors and key stakeholders on insolvency options, guiding them through complex and often sensitive processes with clarity and professionalism
  • Taking on new appointments and contributing actively to business development, including nurturing and growing a network of professional referrers such as solicitors and accountants
  • Leading, mentoring, and developing junior and mid-level team members, maintaining high standards of case work throughout
  • Ensuring all statutory compliance obligations are met in line with current insolvency legislation and SIP standards
  • Liaising effectively with creditors, shareholders, and other stakeholders throughout each appointment
  • Reporting on case WIP, billings, and portfolio performance to the senior leadership team
What We're Looking For
  • Substantial experience in corporate insolvency, with a proven track record of managing complex appointments end-to-end
  • Strong technical knowledge of insolvency legislation, processes, and regulatory frameworks in the UK
  • Demonstrated ability to lead and develop teams in an insolvency or restructuring environment
  • Established business development capability, with existing referrer relationships or a clear ability to build them
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, including at board and creditor level
  • JIEB qualification (preferred) or evidence of working towards it
