Head of Enforcement (Confidential)

The Opportunity

An international disputes and litigation finance platform is seeking a Head of Enforcement to build and lead its global enforcement and asset recovery capability.

This is a rare opportunity for a senior enforcement professional to take full ownership of a growing enforcement practice, with the mandate, capital, and autonomy to shape strategy, originate matters, and drive recoveries across complex, multi-jurisdictional cases.

The role is responsible for judgment enforcement, asset recovery, investigations, and commercial strategy, and will suit someone who wants genuine influence rather than a narrow technical remit.


The Role

You will lead enforcement strategy across funded matters globally, acting as a senior advisor to clients and internal investment teams from the earliest assessment of recoverability through to execution and monetisation.

Responsibilities include:
 

• Owning the enforcement pipeline, from sourcing and assessment through investment approval and execution
• Shaping enforcement and recovery strategy on complex cross-border judgments and awards
• Working directly with clients, law firms, investigators, asset tracers, and experts
• Negotiating funding structures and supporting documentation
• Overseeing funded matters post-investment, including enforcement strategy, settlement discussions, and recoveries
• Managing specialist asset tracing and investigations resources across key jurisdictions
• Acting as the internal authority on enforcement risk, recoverability, and execution

This is a hands-on, senior role with meaningful discretion over strategy, prioritisation, and outcomes.


Market Presence & Growth

A core part of the mandate is to build the enforcement franchise.

You will be encouraged to:
 

• Develop relationships with law firms, corporates, advisors, and insolvency professionals
• Originate and shape enforcement opportunities rather than simply assess inbound cases
• Represent the platform discreetly in senior-level market conversations
• Help define how enforcement is positioned as a differentiated capability

The Person

This role is suited to someone who recognises themselves in the following:
 

• 12+ years’ experience in enforcement, asset recovery, investigations, or related disputes work
• A strong legal foundation, ideally with an outstanding academic background
• A demonstrable track record enforcing judgments and arbitral awards across jurisdictions
• Experience with complex commercial matters including fraud, defaulted debt, or asset tracing
• Commercial judgement and confidence engaging with senior stakeholders and counterparties
• Comfort operating autonomously and building something with real ownership
• The ability to form and defend a clear view on recoverability and strategy
• Strong communication and presentation skills
• Willingness to travel and engage internationally
• Confident speaking at conferences, networking, publishing articles, developing business

Why This Role
 

• Genuine ownership of a global enforcement capability
• Direct influence on strategy, investment decisions, and outcomes
• Exposure to complex, high-value, cross-border matters
• Platform, capital, and senior backing to build something meaningful
• A senior seat at the table without bureaucracy or dilution of responsibility
