    Turnaround and Restructuring Strategy

    Organisations across the globe are facing unprecedented challenges. These challenges, amongst others, include macroeconomic and geopolitical changes, competitor innovation, supply chain risks and changing stakeholder expectations. In Turnaround and Restructuring Strategy (TRS), we help organisations deal with these challenges, making a real difference in a fast-paced environment.

    Whether our clients are companies, government organisations, investors, or financial stakeholders and whether they’re a company in distress or simply seeking to build underlying resilience in their business, we work closely alongside them to deliver the financial and organisational outcomes that enable them to adapt and succeed.

    Technology in TRS

    Technological advances have transformed our ways of working. Driven by client expectations of rich, detailed, technology-driven insights, exceptional technical capability and its universal deployment are becoming key EY differentiators. As technology evolves, our uses are changing to keep pace.

    You’ll learn how to work with visualisation and analytical tools, automation and artificial intelligence to deliver faster, more insightful client deliverables. Your EY technology experience is limited only by your imagination and your thirst to learn.

    What will you be doing?

    • Reviewing our clients’ operational and business models
    •  Identifying strategic initiatives for companies
    • Supporting with project management, proposals, business development activities and key deliverables
    • Building strong stakeholder relationships with clients, external parties and across EY
    • Collaborating with other teams across EY to provide the best possible solution for our clients.
    • Are you eligible to apply?

      We operate an open access policy, meaning we don’t screen out applications on your academic performance alone. You will, however, need to be working towards an honours degree in any subject, have a minimum of grade 4/C GCSE (or equivalent) in English Language and Maths, and three A-levels/Five Highers (or equivalent) to be eligible to apply. 

      We welcome applications from all academic backgrounds and are looking for individuals who will succeed at EY in the desired role and future qualifications, therefore throughout our recruitment process your academic performance will be considered against your online assessment scores to determine your suitability for an EY role. We are also proud to partner with RARE recruitment, so that your application can be processed in the context of your socio-economic background. This allows us to give you the maximum credit for your achievements, assessing whether you have overachieved in light of your personal circumstances.

    How’s it structured?

    We want you to get as much as you can from this programme. After an EY induction, you’ll get straight to work on client projects which often involve complex situations, supported by a network of peers. You’ll contribute to these projects, identifying and understanding not only clients’ financial and operational issues but how their business and industry work too.

    You’ll learn how to make quick, practical decisions and work through problems decisively. As you progress, you’ll get to do all this with more autonomy and responsibility.

    In UK&I you’ll work in project teams on a diverse range of engagements to help companies, creditors and other stakeholders that are facing financial challenges across the whole economic cycle - whether they are buying or selling a distressed asset, restructuring a business, dealing with underperformance, or looking to improve cash management. You’ll also manage tasks relating to the insolvency process, perform financial analysis and report writing, and support with client pitches and industry analysis.

    In FS, you’ll work as part of project teams, assisting in the delivery of complex client assignments in the field of operational improvement and Non-Performing Loan (NPL) management, buy-side acquisition, and sell-side disposal work. You’ll be performing analysis of distressed and non-core loan portfolios in addition to reviewing the operational and business models of European lenders. You’ll also have a chance to get involved in thought leadership, project management and the preparing of transaction material, valuation analysis and client communications. You’ll also be part of the team involved in leading the day-to-day work on buy-side due diligence engagements of loan books and servicers.
