Job Description
The Financial Advisory Team at Teneo
Our global Financial Advisory (FA) business advises corporates, creditors and other financial stakeholders in all situations - from well-performing to stressed. No two situations are the same, and our advice and approach is tailored to each set of circumstances and client.
Teneo guides companies and their stakeholders through periods of uncertainty and stress to create liquidity headroom, reduce costs, improve profitability, turnaround or exit underperforming businesses, assess options, address balance sheet stress, communicate appropriately with all stakeholders, more efficiently run their businesses and, ultimately, deliver certainty from uncertainty.
Our expert team also brings market-leading experience in establishing and delivering contingency plans and insolvencies across multiple jurisdictions, providing credible fallback plans to protect value or helping to shape and affect a restructuring.
The Clients & Industries team drives Financial Advisory business development. This dedicated team oversees opportunity identification and research, sector and channel programmes and marketing for the Financial Advisory business. We work closely with Senior Managing Directors and staff across the Financial Advisory team to ensure these programmes are operating effectively and provide support where required.
Your role
You will be a core member of the Clients & Industries team. As part of the growth of the Financial Advisory business, we are looking to recruit a Research Manager. The newly created role will manage research activities to drive opportunity identification and market intelligence in conjunction with the Research & Insight lead, our offshore research service provider and the wider FA team. The role will also involve using that research to craft key client discussion and pitch material messaging. This role is at the heart of Teneo Financial Advisory and the Research Manager will have the opportunity to contribute to business development strategy and have significant impact in a fast-growing Financial Advisory practice.
Key Responsibilities
As a Research Manager you'll support on the overall research programme for Financial Advisory and manage certain key research activities, working closely with the Research & Insight Lead and Sector teams, including:

We aim to make companies and institutions stronger and more valuable. We are capable of advising at the most senior levels across the world's leading businesses and organisations and we're proud to work with some of the strongest brands in the world.
