Manager Performance and Operational Restructuring

Manager Performance and Operational Restructuring

Our Performance and Restructuring team advises under-performing Dutch and European companies on restructurings and turnarounds, both financially as operationally – finding the best way forward for the business and its stakeholders. From family-run organisations to major listed multinationals, we help underperforming businesses, and stakeholders with interests in them, understand and solve their problems. That might mean coming up with strategies to turn the company around, restructure its operations, debt/capital structure or guiding it through an insolvency process.

As a Manager you support the increasing demand from our clients across a broad range of sectors to transform their operations due to significant pressure to make changes to their business and operating models. As well as working with a wide range of clients, you will also work with leading practitioners across the Deals, Strategy & and Consulting practice within the Firm.

As a Manager in the team, you will be working with clients on a breadth of operational restructuring assignments, including cost reduction, cash management and working capital management, focused on identifying and implementing sustainable performance improvements.

• Assimilating complex information to formulate structured, pragmatic and meaningful client recommendations such as optimisation of procurement, back office, rapid cost reduction, operating model redesign, etc.
• Undertaking market and client analysis to understand the clients’ commercial challenge and translating this into operational implications such as cost reduction, working capital improvements.
• Performing cashflow sensitivity analysis, financial baselining and forecast reviews
• Preparing presentations and/or reports to key stakeholders (e.g. Board, senior management).
• Managing key stakeholders and inspiring change.
• Developing, managing and sustaining strong client relationships with clients and within the Firm.
• Actively managing project economics and overall program governance.

You will also be expected to actively contribute to the development of our team by:

• Supporting with marketing and business development initiatives (both internally and externally) to continuously develop our position in the market.
• Managing a diverse and inclusive team.
• Building internal relations

Who are you?

We are looking for candidates with experience of supporting clients throughout the operational transformation lifecycle from strategic opportunity assessment and planning through to supporting the delivery of specific initiatives.

• Both financial and operational quantitative analytics.
• Experience of working capital, supply chain optimisation, procurement, debt management.

• Experience of leading and developing team around you.
• Ability to leverage technology enabled and digital tools to achieve efficient delivery for our clients.
• You have excellent Dutch and English language skills;
• Perhaps you like to travel for work (mainly Western Europe).
