• Driving progress on cases, resolving challenges, and keeping partners/IP’s in the loop.
• Coaching and developing the team: allocating work, reviewing outputs, and providing feedback.
• Managing formal performance reviews and supporting career development.
• Getting involved in marketing and business development—helping us win new work and grow the department.
• Championing new ideas and ways of working to keep us ahead of the curve.

• Strong experience managing corporate insolvency procedures: liquidations (solvent & insolvent), administrations, and ideally voluntary arrangements.
• Experience in personal insolvency (bankruptcy and voluntary arrangements) is desirable.
• Knowledge of insolvency case law, SIPs, and legislation.
• A confident communicator who can build trust and influence at all levels.
• Proven ability to manage WIP, billing, and case progression.
