Associate Director, Financial Advisory
2 months ago
The Role (Financial Restructuring)
Our Financial Advisory team is expanding, and we are looking for a talented and ambitious individual at Assistant Director level with a financial advisory or banking background to join our growing team in London.
This is an excellent opportunity to work alongside our established team who will support you to utilise and enhance your advisory skills. You will work alongside some of the most experienced practitioners in the field advising the boards, management teams, lenders and shareholders of companies which are underperforming and/or facing any financial stress that requires some form of balance sheet restructuring. It is anticipated the role will cover areas from stressed refinancings and covenant resets through to complex balance sheet restructuring (that may require insolvency and other restructuring tools as a delivery mechanism) and will allow you to seamlessly link into the wider Teneo network across multiple jurisdictions.
As an Associate Director in the team, you will have the opportunity to work and lead on a diverse range of engagements across numerous sectors and geographies, with plenty of responsibility for leading workstreams, managing junior staff and supporting Directors and Managing Directors in client-facing delivery.
The Financial Advisory Team at Teneo
Teneo’s global Financial Advisory business advises corporates, creditors and other financial stakeholders in situations of financial stress and distress. No two situations are the same. Our advice and approach is tailored to each situation and each client. At Teneo, we believe such occurrences present new opportunities for our clients. Opportunities to restore value, raise new capital, pivot in a new direction and ultimately, identify certainty amidst chaos. Teneo partners with clients to find viable opportunities that will protect and enhance value and help them to build strategies that will most benefit their business and/or investment goals.
Integrating the disciplines of financial advisory, management consulting, investor relations, strategic communications, government affairs, risk analysis and talent advisory, Teneo’s global Financial Advisory team guides companies and their stakeholders through periods of uncertainty and stress. We help address the challenges a business faces, whether that is targeted performance improvement to Financial Advisory, or delivering a route to recover value, our focus is delivering certainty from uncertainty.
