Senior insolvency administrator

Corporate Insolvency | Restructuring Advisory | Career Development

A well-established and growing restructuring practice is looking to appoint a Senior Insolvency Administrator to join its Manchester team.

This is an ideal opportunity for someone who has already built a strong foundation in corporate insolvency and now wants a role with more responsibility, better exposure, and clearer long-term progression.

The firm has a strong reputation in the restructuring market and continues to win quality corporate insolvency work across the North West. As a result, they are looking for a capable Senior Administrator who can take ownership of cases, support more complex assignments, and become a key part of the team as the practice continues to expand.

This role would suit someone who enjoys technical case work but also wants to be involved in a more commercial, forward-thinking environment where they can work closely with experienced Managers, Senior Managers, and Insolvency Practitioners.

You will be responsible for progressing a varied caseload of corporate insolvency assignments, with a particular focus on delivering work to a high technical standard while maintaining strong communication with stakeholders.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Handling a portfolio of corporate insolvency cases, including CVLs, MVLs, Administrations, and other formal insolvency appointments
• Taking responsibility for case progression from appointment through to closure
• Preparing reports, statutory documentation, creditor correspondence, and case updates
• Liaising with directors, creditors, employees, HMRC, agents, solicitors, and other professional advisers
• Assisting with investigations, asset realisations, creditor claims, and distributions
• Monitoring deadlines and ensuring compliance with statutory and internal requirements
• Supporting junior administrators and helping them develop their technical knowledge
• Working with senior colleagues on more complex restructuring and insolvency matters

This is not just a standard case administration role. The firm is looking for someone who wants to develop with the business and take on more responsibility over time.

You will be joining a team that offers genuine access to senior decision-makers, a strong quality of work, and a clear route to progression. For the right person, there is the opportunity to move towards Assistant Manager or Manager level as the team grows.

The firm offers a professional but down-to-earth working environment, with a strong focus on quality, development, and long-term career growth.

The ideal candidate will have:

• Experience working in corporate insolvency
• A good working knowledge of CVLs, MVLs, Administrations, or similar insolvency procedures
• The ability to manage a varied caseload and work to deadlines
• Strong attention to detail and technical accuracy
• Confidence dealing with directors, creditors, and professional contacts
• A proactive attitude and willingness to support junior team members
• CPI, ACA, ACCA, or JIEB study interest would be useful, but is not essential

This could be a great move for an Insolvency Administrator ready to step up, or an existing Senior Administrator who wants to join a more ambitious Manchester practice with better progression.

• Competitive salary, dependent on experience
• Manchester-based role
• High-quality corporate insolvency work
• Supportive senior leadership team
• Genuine progression towards Assistant Manager / Manager level
• Exposure to a growing and ambitious restructuring practice
• Opportunity to become an important part of the team rather than just another fee earner

If you are an experienced insolvency professional looking for a new Senior Administrator opportunity in Manchester, this is a strong chance to join a growing restructuring practice where you can develop, progress, and make a genuine impact.
