What you can expect – enriching experiences that will last a lifetime

In response to strong market demand, we are seeking an experienced Manager who can work directly with clients, to help them understand and address the risks associated with the technologies that support their business. This will involve interacting at a senior level with client staff and EY Partners, managing multiple assignments, and leading global teams of EY personnel. You will be stretched to learn about new IT risk areas – sometimes as they evolve, work across a range of different clients in multiple sectors, and deal with complex and demanding issues on a daily basis.

Within EY's Technology Risk practice, the Manager is responsible for managing multiple client engagement teams at an executive level within the practice and the firm. An important part of your role will be actively establishing, maintaining and strengthening internal and external relationships. Engagements focus on the assessment and/or evaluation of IT systems and the mitigation of IT-related business risks. You'll also identify and escalate potential business opportunities for EY on existing engagements and escalate as appropriate. In line with our commitment to quality, you'll determine that work is of high quality and is reviewed by the next-level reviewer. As an influential member of the team, you'll help to create a positive learning culture and will coach and counsel junior team members and help them to develop.
