Senior Manager, Economic Damages - Warner Scott

A leading global independent advisory firm is making a selective investment in its US Forensic Accounting practice and is looking to appoint a Senior Manager in New York, specializing in economic damages.

This is a chance to join a practice at a point where senior hires will genuinely shape how it develops. You’ll lead damages analysis on complex, high-stakes disputes, work closely with testifying experts, and build towards a testifying role of your own.

What you’ll do

1. Lead the quantification of economic damages in commercial litigation and arbitration, including lost profits, diminution in value, business interruption, and unjust enrichment.
2. Build and review damages models, applying financial, accounting, and valuation techniques to support expert opinions.
3. Draft expert reports and rebuttal reports, and critique opposing experts’ damages analyses.
4. Prepare testifying experts for deposition, trial, and arbitration hearings, and support them through cross-examination.
5. Manage and develop teams of consultants across multiple engagements.
6. Build relationships with law firms and corporate clients, contributing to proposals and practice growth.

What you’ll bring

1. Around 8 to 12 years’ experience in economic damages, disputes, or litigation support, gained at a Big Four, consulting, or specialist advisory firm.
2. CPA required. CFF, ABV, CFA, or CVA highly regarded.
3. Deep experience quantifying damages across matters such as breach of contract, post-acquisition disputes, intellectual property, and shareholder disputes.
4. A track record of preparing expert reports, with deposition or trial experience a strong advantage.
5. Confidence engaging directly with senior counsel and clients.

Why this role

1. Genuine influence over how a growing US damages practice develops.
2. A clear route towards Director and testifying expert roles.
3. The backing of a global independent firm, without the constraints of audit independence rules.
