The opportunity

You’ll have the opportunity to work on business-critical engagements. In recent years we have helped investment banks to get ready for Brexit, improve their compliance with regulations such as MiFID II, EMIR, and Dodd Frank, and prepare for upcoming regulation such as FRTB and CSDR. We help organisations to prepare for market events such as the cessation of IBOR.

We also help banks to become more profitable, either by developing new revenue streams, or crucially, by reducing costs.

We come at transformation problems in the following ways with respect to risk and technology:

• We are highly skilled at delivering and overseeing large scale risk and technology change –from inception and requirements definition through to operational readiness. We prefer an agile methodology but are happy to work in whatever ways our clients demand.
• We are increasingly bringing risk and technology assets to clients to help accelerate transformation. Examples of these include our best-in-class MiFID II reporting analytics suite,and our end-to-end IBOR backbone. Our risk and technology assets include proprietary EY tools as well as best-of-breed vendor tools.
• We deploy team members from on-shore, near-shore and off-shore teams, and often work alongside our major alliance partners, such as Microsoft and Pega to deploy solutions. Increasingly we collaborate with FinTech firms too.
• We are passionate about keeping pace with the latest emerging technology. We have recently invested in senior hires in Cloud, Digital, Intelligent Automation and AI. But we aren’tinterested in technology for the sake of technology we combine the tech mindset with EY’s deep business and regulatory knowledge in order to deploy technology intelligently to solve business problems. We are looking for Managers, Senior Consultants and Consultants to join our team due to expected growth. Do you want to engage your mind? Then join EY to gain experiences that will last a lifetime.
