Liability Restructuring/Deals Creditor Advisory Manager - Reading, United Kingdom - PwC
Description
In Deals we solve the important problems that stand in the way of value being created, sustained, realised or protected for our clients - working together to aid responsible recovery and growth.
Working on iconic deals with national and global clients, we put together major mergers and acquisitions and resolve business crises - from international take-over bids to financial crime investigations and cases of insolvency.
We draw upon our deals experience across many industries to support and partner with our clients, to positively impact society and the communities in which we operate.
Restructuring & Forensics
In Restructuring & Forensics we focus on supporting our clients through the Protect and Recover stages of the business cycle. We combine restructuring services such as financial restructuring, liability restructuring and corporate simplification with Digital and Forensic Investigations and Financial Crime teams. We support clients in stress or distress situations, seeking to support them to respond, restructure and transform, as well as prepare for, respond to and emerge stronger from a wide range of business risks and issues.. We could be involved in any one, or all of these types of engagements.
About the Team
There is an opportunity for a Manager to join the Restructuring and Forensics (R&F) Liability and Restructuring Team.
The Liability and Restructuring practice is a dynamic, innovative and growing business, which provides market-leading and award-winning advice to a wide spectrum of high profile, iconic clients including major PLC's and global brands. The team uses core financial analysis skills to provide advice to stakeholders and insights to corporates with a defined benefit ("DB") pension scheme.
Our work involves understanding a company's underlying performance, strategy, business risks and cash flows to understand how well it can support its pension scheme obligations both now and in the future (the "employer covenant").
Candidates are actively encouraged to build their network across a number of Line of Service teams and with external clients to build long term relationships. We continue to invest in our team, more than ever before, prioritising a sense of purpose at work and valuing diversity of background, thought and skill sets. Having a diverse and supportive team helps us deliver great outcomes for our people and clients. We encourage flexibility and innovative ways of working and have a range of working patterns across the team at all grades. We look out for each other, and team members are encouraged to share ideas and perspectives as to how we can work together as effectively as possible, acknowledging different people's values.
We operate hybrid working at PwC, and 40-60% of your time will be spent co-located with colleagues in an office or on a client site
