The work of chief restructuring officers is demanding and sometimes stressful because they are brought into a high-stakes situation in which the outcome of the business hinges on their actions and their ability to work with stakeholders, who do not always agree on restructuring strategies. They may also encounter tension with the company’s legal team, which may disagree with the CRO’s solutions for the problems and/or resent their reduced role in the decision-making process. As a result, a person who is indecisive and a weak negotiator, has poor communication skills, does not like conflict, and does not like to make hard decisions will not be a good fit for this position. On the other hand, confident people with strong leadership skills who like a demanding and fluid work environment will prosper in this career.
Chief restructuring officers typically work 40 hours a week, Monday-through-Friday, but they also work at night and on weekends as needed. Travel is often required to meetings at the satellite offices or facilities of their employer and to law offices and courtrooms.
