Senior Manager, Restructuring

Who We Are

You know those big cities that still feel like small towns? Where everyone’s friendly and helps each other out? That’s like Doane Grant Thornton. Except here we’re all professionals and there isn’t a mayor or a general store. What we’re trying to say is that we’re a large and growing professional services firm that still feels like a community. We employ about 3000 people across Canada, and we truly care about our colleagues, our clients and the communities where we work and live. That’s what’s most important to us. We’re building a thriving organization that’s purpose driven and still want to remember what your favourite milkshake flavour is.

As a Senior Manager, Restructuring your responsibilities will include:

• Lead a diverse portfolio of complex corporate restructuring and insolvency engagements, guiding files from strategy through execution.
• Work directly with business owners, lenders, legal counsel, creditors, and other stakeholders to navigate challenging and time-sensitive situations.
