Restructuring 2025 Vacationer Program

**Company Description**
At KordaMentha, you’ll make an impact from day one. We’re looking for ambitious, well-rounded graduates and final-year students ready to tackle real-world business challenges.

Join a team that thrives on creativity, collaboration, and bold thinking. We go beyond the standard approach—asking ‘what if?’ and ‘why not?’ to uncover innovative solutions that help our clients grow, protect, and recover value.

Our award-winning graduate program is designed to put you in control of your career. Skip the traditional rotations and dive straight into one of our specialist areas. Gain hands-on experience working on high-profile and diverse engagements, with expert mentoring, tailored support, study assistance, and training to help you excel.

At KordaMentha, we foster a culture of respect, inclusion, and integrity. You’ll be part of a supportive team that values diversity and encourages you to bring your unique perspective. Through regular social events and community initiatives, you’ll build strong connections and make a meaningful impact beyond the workplace.

Applications are now open to join our Restructuring group for the 2025/2026 vacationer intake.

Companies in financial distress engage KordaMentha to urgently restructure and stabilise their businesses, protecting not only monetary value at risk but also their reputation and social licence, and those of their key stakeholders. Our Restructuring group has managed many of the most complex corporate and government restructures in the Asia-Pacific region. Our notable projects include appointments over Network Ten, Arrium, FTX, Scott’s Refrigerated Logistics, Grocon, and Ansett Australia, and advising Bain on its acquisition of Virgin Airlines. We also support governments to make the challenging strategic decisions that shape our future and help them to solve the most complex and difficult of problems.

Working alongside our Restructuring specialists, this is your opportunity to learn how we look beyond the numbers, taking bold and creative steps to protect and recover value, providing stability and direction in times of crisis. Under expert mentorship, gain valuable insights into independent business reviews, cash flow monitoring and forecasting, restructuring, financial and strategic advisory and formal insolvency appointments. Make a real impact as, together, we solve our clients most pressing transactional and commercial challenges.

**What you’ll be doing**

As a vacationer in our restructuring group, you’ll work in creative project teams to manage Australia’s largest and most complex corporate restructures, receiverships, administrations and liquidations. While no two days will be the same, you can expect to:

- collaborate onsite with a team managing the daily operations of distressed businesses
- handle creditor enquires and engage key stakeholders through the insolvency process
- assist in executing sale transactions for businesses and assets
- conduct financial analysis and prepare reports for lenders, regulators and businesses
- develop cash flow forecasts and financial models
- participate in business development and marketing activities
- research new opportunities by analysing financial and market information and reporting findings to Partners

But it’s not all about work. You’ll be given a buddy to help you navigate office life as you settle in. We have regular catch ups with People and Culture to ensure you are getting the most out of your placement. We host regular events and activities, bringing together our close-knit team in a friendly and relaxed environment so you can get to know the people behind the professionals.
