Associate Director, Digital Forensics & Cyber Investigations

About Hilco Global

Hilco Global, a subsidiary of ORIX Corporation USA, is a diversified financial services company with a long-standing reputation for helping clients maximize value, solve complex problems, and navigate critical business moments. Based in Northbrook, Illinois, the firm employs more than 850 professionals operating on four continents. Hilco delivers integrated professional services and capital solutions across the retail, commercial, industrial, real estate, manufacturing, brand, and intellectual property sectors.

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 to stressed and distressed situations requiring decisive action.

About the Role

Hilco Global is expanding its Global Investigations & Dispute Resolution practice, a growing capability that advises clients on matters involving fraud, misconduct, forensic accounting, commercial disputes, bribery, asset tracing, and cyber-enabled investigations. This is not a standalone niche practice being built in isolation; it is being developed within a powerful platform that already possesses deep client relationships, strong market credibility, and meaningful adjacency to restructuring, valuation, capital solutions, and other advisory capabilities.

As an Associate Director in this practice, you will oversee complex digital forensics and cyber-enabled investigations, manage multiple technical workstreams, and serve as a key leader in both execution and practice development. This role is focused on digital evidence, cyber-enabled fact development, user and system activity reconstruction, and investigative findings that help clients and counsel understand what happened, who was involved, and how digital systems were used.

This is an especially strong opportunity for professionals who want more than a technical delivery role. It is a chance to join a platform where you can help shape the direction of a growing, market-facing digital forensics and cyber investigations capability. You will join at a time of strong momentum, with the benefit of Hilco's broader brand and relationships across capital solutions, restructuring, and special situations.

Why Join Hilco?

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: Access to meaningful credibility and relationships 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, rather than simply joining a mature team with limited room to influence direction.
• Complex Matters: Engagement with high-value work at the intersection of digital evidence, accounting, finance, investigations, disputes, transactions, and distressed situations.
• Cross-Platform Synergy: Natural adjacency to Hilco's capital solutions, restructuring, valuation, and advisory capabilities.
• Career Upside: Meaningful responsibility and growth 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.
