Manager, Bermuda

The Role

Teneo's Bermuda restructuring team is currently looking for people with a passion for advising distressed companies and their stakeholders. The team forms part of Teneo’s global Financial Advisory practice (which has been built from Big4 and blue chip restructuring boutiques) but works across the entire Teneo global business. This is a great opportunity to be involved in building a world class restructuring practice. The team is very proud of the variety and quality of work it is involved in and there are significant opportunities for training and career development.

As a Manager within Financial Advisory you will be exposed to a wide variety of projects within a highly commercial, client focused environment. You will work on high profile assignments focused around cross border restructuring and insolvencies in the financial services sector.

This represents a truly exciting time for the Financial Advisory team. Following the sale of the Deloitte UK Restructuring business to Teneo in June 2021, the Financial Advisory business continues to grow across multiple disciplines and international locations. The Cayman and BVI Financial Advisory teams were acquired from KPMG in the Cayman Islands and the BVI in January 2022, and the Bermuda Financial Advisory team was acquired in March 2022. These teams are managed as a single practice across the region and our growth will provide fantastic opportunities to rapidly develop your career on a structured path.

As a Manager in the team, you will have the opportunity to work on a diverse range of engagements across all sectors, with plenty of responsibility for leading workstreams, managing junior staff and supporting Directors, and Senior Managing Directors in client-facing delivery.

Key aspects of the role will include:

• Client Service – Being part of and providing managerial support to the Directors and Senior Managing Directors on Restructuring and Insolvency matters, including both voluntary and court appointments.
• Business Development – Playing an active role in the team’s business development and targeting activities, developing your network in the financial advisory market.
• People and Leadership – Manage, coach and provide guidance and support to team members, helping to support talent development and foster an inclusive environment.
