The opportunity

Within the EY-Parthenon practice, our unique combination of transformative strategy, transactions, tax and corporate finance delivers real-world value - solutions that work in practice, not just on paper. Benefiting from EY's full spectrum of services, we've reimagined strategic consulting to work in a world of increasing complexity. With deep functional and sector expertise, paired with innovative AI-powered technology and an investor mindset, we partner with CEOs, boards, private equity and governments every step of the way.

As a member of the EY-Parthenon Financial Restructuring ("FR") team, supported by 4 existing FTEs based in our GDS origination team in India, you will assist us in identifying and screening opportunities, developing high-impact client discussion materials and being part of a team - alongside our Partners and wider senior team - originating new opportunities in the restructuring market. You may have your own existing market relationships, but you will also be supported in growing and developing your network and experience alongside our inclusive and diverse team.

Your key responsibilities

• Drive sales for the FR practice by identifying and pursuing stressed and distressed situations, both in-year and as part of building our pipeline of future opportunities.
• Analyse company financials, debt metrics, stakeholder positions and potential restructuring strategies to identify potential engagement situations, developing market materials to support client conversations and gain internal support.
• Demonstrate commercial creativity and acumen in approaching distressed situations and assist in building FR team relationships with stakeholders and corporates anticipating stress/distress.
• Actively participate in market meetings with Partners to discuss situations identified and sectors/sub-sectors showing signs of stress and maintain a personal network across lawyers, funds, banks and corporates.
• Attend internal sector meetings to identify new opportunities and develop an internal network of sector leaders within the wider EY business.
• Produce high quality pitch documents and collateral, tracking issuance and gathering feedback.
• Provide mentorship and training to junior team members to enhance their business development skills.

Skills and attributes for success

• Proven financial restructuring experience in an advisory firm or investor (i.e. debt fund, bank or PE fund).
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to assess financial restructuring situations and stakeholder dynamics.
• Excellent communication and networking abilities to build relationships across various sectors and stakeholders inside and outside of EY.
• Creative problem-solving skills to identify innovative approaches in distressed situations.
• Experience in producing high quality marketing materials and pitches.
• Leadership qualities to mentor and develop junior team members.
• Evidence of embracing new technologies and leveraging that into origination work, i.e. the use of AI tools during opportunity identification and research, as well as part of day-to-day project and pipeline management.
