Hilco Global is a diversified financial services, advisory, and capital solutions company with a long-standing reputation for helping clients maximize value, solve complex problems, and navigate critical business moments. Across its platform, Hilco provides a broad range of services and solutions spanning valuation, restructuring, advisory, monetization, transactions, and capital solutions for corporations, lenders, investors, private equity sponsors, boards, and legal counsel.
What differentiates Hilco is the strength and breadth of its platform. The firm is trusted in high-stakes, complex, and often time-sensitive situations where financial, operational, strategic, and legal issues intersect. Hilco brings together deep experience, commercial judgment, and execution capability across the business lifecycle - from healthy companies seeking growth or strategic alternatives to stressed and distressed situations requiring decisive action.
Built on that foundation, Hilco Global is expanding its Global Investigations & Dispute Resolution practice. This growing practice advises clients on matters involving fraud and misconduct investigations, forensic accounting and financial analysis, post-acquisition and other commercial disputes, bribery and corruption matters, asset tracing, investigative due diligence, litigation support, regulatory response, digital forensics and cyber-enabled investigations, e-discovery, and other sensitive situations requiring rigorous analysis, sound judgment, and clear communication.
This is not a standalone niche practice being built in isolation. It is being developed within a powerful platform that already has deep client relationships, strong market credibility, and meaningful adjacency to restructuring, valuation, capital solutions, and other advisory capabilities. For the right professionals, that creates a rare opportunity: the chance to build within an established platform that already matters in the market.
Why Hilco Global
There are many firms that offer investigations, digital forensics, cyber investigations, and e-discovery work. Very few offer the combination of platform strength, market relevance, entrepreneurial upside, and cross-disciplinary opportunity that Hilco does.
Joining Hilco's Global Investigations & Dispute Resolution practice means joining at a time of strong momentum. The practice is being actively built and expanded, with the benefit of Hilco's broader brand, relationships, and capabilities across capital solutions, restructuring, valuation, advisory, and special situations.
For professionals who are ambitious, commercial, and excited by the idea of helping shape a market-facing practice, Hilco offers a differentiated proposition:
• A powerful platform behind the practice, with meaningful credibility and access across lenders, investors, boards, law firms, and corporate clients
• A true build opportunity - the chance to help shape a leading global investigations and disputes offering, not simply join a mature team with limited room to influence direction
• Complex, high-value matters at the intersection of digital evidence, accounting, finance, investigations, disputes, transactions, restructurings, and distressed situations
• Cross-platform opportunity, with natural adjacency to Hilco's capital solutions, restructuring, valuation, and advisory capabilities
• Meaningful responsibility and career upside for professionals who combine technical excellence, sound judgment, and initiative
At Hilco, professionals are not joining a static organization. They are joining a platform with real market strength and the ambition to build a premier practice.
Position Overview
As a Manager in Hilco Global Investigations & Dispute Resolution practice, you will lead day-to-day execution of digital forensics and cyber-enabled investigations workstreams. The role is focused on digital evidence analysis, cyber-enabled misconduct, user-activity reconstruction, data misuse, insider-risk issues, and other technology-enabled fact patterns, rather than traditional e-discovery review management.
You will help clients and counsel identify, preserve, collect, analyze, and explain digital evidence in matters involving fraud, employee misconduct, data theft or misuse, unauthorized access, off-channel communications, business email compromise, accounting and financial issues, disputes, regulatory response, and other sensitive investigations.
Managers are expected to combine strong technical capability with project management, communication, and team leadership.

• Analyze artifacts from laptops, desktops, servers, mobile devices, email, cloud repositories, collaboration platforms, file shares, logs, and other sources of digital evidence
• Support investigations involving unauthorized access, data misuse or exfiltration, file deletion or movement, USB activity, off-channel communications, insider risk, business email compromise, and technology-enabled misconduct
• Develop clear timelines and user-activity reconstructions that connect system artifacts, communications, documents, access logs, metadata, and business records
• Maintain chain-of-custody documentation, defensible procedures, workpapers, and quality-control protocols
• Coordinate with forensic accounting, investigative, e-discovery, analytics, legal, IT, HR, compliance, and security teams to connect technical findings to broader factual and financial issues
• Prepare and review client-facing reports, memoranda, presentations, timelines, and exhibits explaining digital evidence in clear, non-technical language
• Supervise, coach, and develop Analysts, Associates, and other team members through active review and feedback
• Support proposals, pitch materials, recruiting, training, tool evaluation, and other internal practice-building initiatives
Desired Qualifications
• Bachelor's degree in computer science, information systems, cybersecurity, digital forensics, accounting, finance, business, or a related discipline required; candidates with master's degrees or other advanced technical degrees are strongly encouraged and will be prioritized
• Approximately 4-7 years of relevant experience in digital forensics, cyber investigations, forensic technology, incident investigation, insider-risk investigations, or related professional services
• Hands-on experience with forensic acquisition, evidence preservation, chain of custody, artifact analysis, timeline development, and defensible technical workpapers
• Experience with tools such as EnCase, FTK, Cellebrite, Magnet AXIOM, X-Ways, Nuix, Relativity, Microsoft Purview, Google Vault, CrowdStrike, Splunk, or similar platforms is preferred
• Familiarity with Windows, macOS, mobile, cloud, email, collaboration, and enterprise logging environments
