Principal (Director) - Restructuring & Insolvency

1 week ago

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Genius People Full time $200,000 - $250,000 per year

A rare chance to lead, grow, and step into Partnership.

This is not just another Director role. It's an opportunity to take a leadership seat with a national advisory firm that is expanding its Restructuring & Insolvency practice and investing in the next generation of Partners.

The firm has a strong pipeline of appointments, a collaborative leadership culture, and the platform of a respected national brand. Now they are looking for a proven operator to help shape the Melbourne practice and play a pivotal role in its future.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

  • Clear Partner Pathway – genuine equity progression, not a vague promise.
  • Freedom to Lead – shape the practice your way, supported by an entrepreneurial leadership team.
  • Complex Matters – exposure to trading administrations, large receiverships, and high-profile appointments.
  • Strong Referral Base – a network of banks, lawyers, and advisors already in place.
  • Culture That Backs People – collaborative, people-first, and built on long-term trust.

The Role

  • Lead and manage complex corporate insolvency and restructuring engagements.
  • Win and grow work through strong networks with lawyers, bankers, and referrers.
  • Mentor, develop, and inspire a team across all levels.
  • Partner with national leadership to set the direction of the Melbourne practice.
  • Deliver commercial, pragmatic solutions to stakeholders in distressed and high-pressure environments.

About You

  • 10+ years' experience in Restructuring & Insolvency at a Big 4, mid-tier, or boutique firm.
  • CA/CPA qualified; ARITA Advanced Certification highly regarded.
  • Proven record of managing major appointments and driving business development.
  • Strong networks across the insolvency ecosystem.
  • A leadership style that balances commercial drive with genuine collaboration.

What's on Offer

  • A rare pathway to Partnership in a growing national practice.
  • High-profile, complex work that builds your market reputation.
  • The autonomy to leave your mark and shape the future of the practice.
  • A supportive leadership team that values trust, care, and professional excellence.
  • Attractive remuneration, equity progression, and flexible working.
