We deliver tangible results for global businesses, their investors, and stakeholders when complex problems arise, and critical decisions need to be made. Interpath is agile, independent, and conflict-free, and our passion for doing what's right, every time, sets us apart.

Our diverse teams provide specialist technical knowledge combined with deep sector experience across our service line specialisms.

By 2030 we aim to be one of the world's leading advisory firms with a truly global footprint.

The Insolvency/IPS Product Lead owns the end-to-end management, operation, and continuous improvement of the Insolvency Practitioner System (IPS) across Interpath's global restructuring business. This includes ensuring IPS supports efficient operations while meeting regulatory requirements and industry best practice. The role covers day-to-day product ownership, including user support, training, adoption, and driving ongoing enhancements to maximise platform value.

A key priority is leading the transition from the on-premise IPS SQL platform to IPS Cloud. This involves managing a critical transformation programme, working with the vendor, internal SMEs, and client-facing teams to prepare, test, and migrate systems and data. The role also oversees pre-migration configuration, ensuring security, user roles, and workflows are aligned for a smooth transition.

The role acts as the primary interface between business users, technology teams, and external partners, ensuring IPS meets current and future needs. It balances BAU support with strategic development, maintaining system stability while driving improvements in functionality, compliance, and user experience.

Responsibilities:

• Act as a subject matter expert for IPS, providing support, guidance and best practice advice
• Manage and resolve user queries and support tickets, acting as an escalation point for complex IPS queries
• Manage end-to-end testing of IPS upgrades before release to production
• Lead the transition from IPS SQL to IPS Cloud, collaborating with the vendor, internal SMEs and client-facing staff
• Deliver user support and training, helping teams maximise effective use of IPS
• Develop and update training materials, user guides, and process documentation
• Support the onboarding of new users or teams, ensuring the adoption of IPS
• Establish and manage the product vision, ensuring development priorities reflect both business goals and regulatory requirements
• Own and prioritise BAU backlog items (bugs, enhancements, configuration changes) to ensure service quality

Values

Our four core values are the cornerstones of culture at Interpath and steer everything from everyday decisions to larger strategic initiatives. Our Interpath Values are;

Do the right thing - Our comfort zone is uncomfortable. We always make the right decision, not simply what is easy or popular.

All hands on deck - stand shoulder-to-shoulder with colleagues and clients, be that physically or from afar. Our individual expertise may find the answers, but implementation happens though teamwork.

Passion drives success - The impossible is always possible. We push the boundaries of what is expected because we're never satisfied with the status quo. Our clients expect the right result when they engage with us, and it's only by delivering this that we win.

Embrace different - cultures to mindsets, we welcome all. We believe that people are equal, but not the same.
