Manager, Restructuring

Kroll • New York, NY

3d • $150,000 - $250,000 • Hybrid

About The Position

The Manager, Restructuring will lead and support delivery of Kroll’s Fund Solutions and Restructuring services from the U.S., with exposure to cross-border mandates. The role works on live situations throughout the fund life cycle, helping clients evaluate options and implement practical solutions for portfolios that are illiquid, underperforming, nearing the end of their term, or otherwise require active intervention.

The work combines financial and commercial analysis with hands-on execution. Assignments may include assessing fund and portfolio performance, preparing options and investment papers, supporting fund management transitions, overseeing asset realizations or wind downs, improving stakeholder reporting, and coordinating implementation with legal advisers, administrators, auditors, asset managers, and other service providers. Recruitment is flexible at Manager or Senior Manager level, with the level determined by relevant experience, mandate and team leadership, client-handling capability, and commercial contribution.

Requirements

• At least 5 years of experience, including experience relevant to U.S. investment funds; relevance, quality, and depth of experience are more important than tenure alone.
• Experience in U.S. fund advisory, restructuring, private equity or private credit, investment or portfolio management, transaction services, corporate finance, insolvency, fiduciary services, or another relevant financial discipline.
• Demonstrable experience analyzing complex financial and operational information, including performance, valuation, liquidity, or cash flow information, and presenting conclusions to senior audiences.
• A track record of managing workstreams, deadlines, and junior colleagues; Senior Manager candidates should also demonstrate independent engagement and client leadership.
• Advanced capability in Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint.
• Strong written drafting skills and confidence communicating with senior internal and external stakeholders across the Cayman Islands and international markets.
• Commercial judgment; analytical, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills; attention to detail; clear communication; organization; risk management; effectiveness in ambiguity and challenging situations; collaboration; ownership; and interest in building a specialist practice.

Nice To Haves

• A relevant accounting, insolvency, or investment qualification such as ACA, ACCA, CPA, JIEB, or CFA; this is preferred but not essential when supported by strong relevant experience.
• U.S. regulatory, insolvency, or investment-fund experience.

Responsibilities

• Lead defined workstreams and, at Senior Manager level, significant assignments or multiple workstreams; set priorities and deliver high-quality work to agreed scope, timing, and budget.
• Analyze fund structures, portfolio performance, valuations, liquidity, cash flows, and stakeholder positions; identify issues affecting value, control, timing, and execution, and provide clear recommendations.
• Support or lead manager replacement and transition mandates, solvent and insolvent fund wind downs, asset realizations, liquidity and governance work, investment reporting, and other special-situation assignments involving U.S. investment funds.
• Prepare and review decision-ready options papers, investment and portfolio reports, board and investor materials, financial analyses, proposals, and implementation plans.
• Build relationships and communicate with fund managers, investors, boards, creditors, financial sponsors, management teams, U.S. legal advisers, registered office and fiduciary providers, administrators, auditors, asset agents, regulators, and other service providers.
• Manage priorities, identify risks and dependencies, resolve execution issues where possible, and escalate material matters with practical recommendations.
• Support management of engagement scope, work in progress, budgets, billing, and profitability; Senior Managers take broader responsibility for engagement economics and resourcing.
• Direct, coach, and review junior colleagues, providing clear briefs, proportionate oversight, constructive feedback, and development support.
• Contribute to U.S. and international business growth through market research, opportunity assessment, proposals, pitches, credentials, and development of client and intermediary relationships.
• Collaborate with Kroll colleagues across Restructuring and other service lines, and with legal, fiduciary, audit, administration, and regulatory professionals to coordinate expertise and cross-border delivery.

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans.
• Generous paid time off and paid company holidays.
• Parental and family leave.
• Life insurance, short- and long-term disability coverage, and accident protection.
• Performance-based incentives and merit-based compensation reviews.
