    Turnaround and Restructuring Strategy (TRS)

    Economies are fuelled by competitive organisations that buy, sell, merge or restructure parts of their business with others. Strategy and Transactions help organisations do all that while making more informed decisions and building better strategies.

    In TRS, we advise organisations and other affected parties when they are underperforming or in distress, on the best course of action. Through independent analysis, we help them either get back on track or go through insolvency procedures like administration or receivership.

    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 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?

    • Solving urgent and important business problems by analysing data and proposing solutions for underperforming businesses
    • Undertaking an arrange of tasks required to manage a company that is going through an insolvency process
    • Assisting with solvent and insolvent processes
    • Are you eligible to apply?

      If you’re in your penultimate year at university, or if you’re already in your final year but will be doing a one-year Master’s degree, or taking a gap year, this internship is for you. 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?

    Be completely immersed in the world of work at EY. After a company induction, you’ll develop an understanding of TRS and will soon be ready to work alongside graduates on real client projects.

    In UK & Ireland we 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 or organisation, dealing with underperformance, advising or implementing turnaround options or looking to improve cash management. We also manage companies that are involved in the insolvency processes and advise clients on the options open to them by performing financial analysis and presenting findings to the client. During your internship you will be given an introduction to all of these aspects of Turnaround and Restructuring Strategy engagements and will join project teams to support the delivery of our engagements.

    In Financial Services, 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.

    If you do a great job, you could be offered a place on the graduate programme to come back to when you finish university.
