Vice President, Restructuring Investment Banking

Vice President | Restructuring & Special Situations | Leading Global Investment Bank | London

We are working with one of the most active restructuring franchises in the market on a VP hire in London.

This is a genuinely rare opportunity to join a top-tier advisory practice at a moment of real momentum. The team has been at the centre of some of the most complex and high-profile European restructuring and liability management situations of the past cycle, advising companies, creditors and sponsors across the capital structure. With distress activity elevated and a deep pipeline of live mandates, they are hiring to add senior execution firepower.

Restructuring is where the most intellectually demanding work in banking happens, and this platform sits right at the fulcrum of it. You will work across the full toolkit: balance sheet restructurings, liability management exercises, amendment and extension processes, distressed M&A, creditor advisory and new-money raises. Deals are complex, fast-moving and high-stakes, and the team is small enough that VPs carry real responsibility rather than sitting behind layers of hierarchy.

As a VP you will take a leading role in executing live mandates, including:

• Driving financial and capital structure analysis, including liquidity, covenant and recovery modelling
• Owning work streams end-to-end and managing analysts and associates on live deals
• Interfacing directly with clients, creditors, legal counsel and other advisers
• Shaping negotiation strategy and restructuring proposals alongside senior bankers
• Contributing to origination, pitch materials and business development

• Strong restructuring, leveraged finance, or special situations experience from an investment bank, advisory boutique, or credit fund
• Excellent financial modelling and capital structure analysis skills
• Genuine appetite for complexity and the composure to perform under pressure
• Ability to lead work streams and mentor junior team members

This is a platform with strong deal flow, a collaborative and meritocratic culture, and a clear path to Director and beyond. For a VP who wants to be at the centre of the most challenging situations in the market, with real ownership and senior exposure from day one, there are few better seats.
