What will your typical day look like?

Work alongside a high-performing national team advising companies, lenders, investors and other stakeholders through periods of financial stress, operational challenge and change.

No two engagements are the same. One day you may be working with a leadership team to improve business performance, unlock cash flow and drive value creation. The next, you may be supporting a refinancing, evaluating strategic options for stakeholders, advising on a transaction, or helping a business navigate a complex turnaround situation.

You will combine commercial, operational and financial thinking to solve complex problems and deliver practical outcomes. In the process, you will continue to build your analytical, operational, transaction, restructuring and stakeholder management skills through exposure to some of the most challenging and high-profile situations and clients in the market.

About the team

Our Performance Improvement & Restructuring team advises organisations facing complex challenges, periods of disruption and opportunities to improve performance and create value. We work with boards, management teams, lenders, investors and creditors to preserve value, enhance performance and deliver sustainable outcomes.

Our work spans performance improvement, turnaround advisory, value creation initiatives, cash generation and working capital optimisation, transaction support, financial restructuring and refinancing. We also advise stakeholders in formal restructuring and insolvency situations where specialist expertise is required.

What sets our team apart is the variety and impact of the work. We combine commercial, financial and operational expertise to help clients solve critical business challenges, improve performance and realise opportunities for growth and value creation. It is an environment that offers significant responsibility, continuous learning and the opportunity to accelerate your career alongside experienced and supportive colleagues.
