The opportunity

EY-Parthenon's unique combination of transformative strategy, transactions 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 - enabling you to shape your future with confidence.

Your key responsibilities

As a Director with EY-Parthenon's Strategy and Execution Restructuring practice, you will help clients evaluate capital options, capture greater transaction value and achieve strategic objectives - whether they are buying or selling a distressed asset, restructuring a business, dealing with underperformance, or looking to improve cash management.

  • Experience in developing financial and operational strategies to affect a financial and/or operational turnaround to improve liquidity, credit availability and shareholder return.

  • Strong financial modeling skills including the ability to create robust and flexible financial models based on client's financial and operational information to drive key decisions and strategies.

  • Able to work under high pressure and adapt to a dynamic working environment.

  • Excellent problem solving, facilitation and interpersonal skills.

  • You must either reside in or be in a commutable distance to your office location for this position.
