We help clients ensure their legal entity structures are fit for purpose, from designing and implementing structures to facilitate M&A, carve-outs and other restructuring activities, through to rationalising and simplifying group structures to reduce risk, cost and complexity.

About the role:

As a Manager you will take ownership of client engagements and be accountable for both delivery and commercial outcomes. You will operate with a high degree of autonomy, working closely with Partners and Directors on strategy, risk management and client relationships.

• Lead and manage significant elements of LER engagements, reporting directly to Partners and Directors and acting as a key point of contact for clients.

• Take ownership of case economics, including budgeting, forecasting, fee management and margin control, proactively identifying opportunities to manage cost and deliver work efficiently without compromising quality or risk.

• Manage and oversee a portfolio of UK solvent liquidations, from initial client onboarding and appointment through to execution of the liquidation strategy, ensuring appropriate risk management, governance and cost control.

• Lead complex analysis and client discussions to understand objectives, key business drivers and constraints, translating these into pragmatic and commercially viable restructuring or simplification solutions.

• Identify, manage and mitigate delivery, legal and commercial risks across engagements, escalating issues where appropriate and proposing solutions.

• Drive innovation in how work is delivered, including the use of technology, data, standardisation and alternative delivery models to improve scalability, efficiency and client outcomes.

• Coordinate effectively with cross-Line of Service teams, the PwC global network and external professional advisers to deliver integrated solutions.

• Coach, develop and performance-manage junior team members, playing an active role in building capability, engagement and a strong team culture.

• Contribute to marketing and business development activities, including proposals, thought leadership and identifying opportunities to grow existing and new client relationships.
