Opportunity
As Senior Manager for Program and Transformation Assurance, your role is to enable EY teams to support clients in delivering complex transformation programs with confidence, clarity, and consistency. You provide the structure, tools, and strategic guidance that empower client‑facing colleagues to drive growth, manage risk, and realize value across business, technology, and program domains.
A key part of this role is supporting change—not just in systems and processes, but in how people work, collaborate, and adapt. You help teams navigate uncertainty, build trust, and engage stakeholders effectively by embedding change management principles into transformation assurance frameworks.
This role is about creating the conditions for success: connecting service lines, shaping go‑to‑market strategies, developing enablement materials, and building performance and reporting structures that support quality, visibility, and continuous improvement. Through early involvement and cross‑functional collaboration, you help make transformation assurance a standard of excellence across EY.

Client Engagement & Business Development
* Drive client engagement by identifying transformation triggers and aligning EY’s capabilities with client needs—ensuring early involvement, de‑risking major programs, and converting strategic opportunities into long‑term partnerships.
* Support the pursuit of complex, cross‑functional opportunities by aligning internal experts with emerging client needs and strategic priorities.
* Facilitate cross‑service line collaboration to convert pipeline opportunities into high‑value engagements.
* Identify and shape new business opportunities in areas such as IPO readiness, finance function improvement, CSRD implementation, digital transformation, internal investigations, and regulatory compliance.
* Engage with alliance partners to strengthen relationships, gain insights into client needs and market developments, and identify opportunities for joint value creation.
* Strategically select and prioritise projects that align with client investments and maximise market potential.
Executive Enablement & Leadership Support
* Enable executives to confidently engage in transformation conversations by providing training, methodologies, and one‑pagers that support first pitches, stakeholder alignment, and sustained delivery excellence.
* Prepare executives to engage confidently in transformation initiatives, ensuring they understand their role and can articulate their impact to clients.
* Deliver executive‑level reporting and operational support, enabling leadership to focus on high‑impact activities and strategic decision‑making.
* Empower executives to contribute thought leadership, positioning themselves—and EY—as trusted voices in transformation programs.
Thought Leadership & Brand Building
* Develop and showcase thought leadership in areas such as ESG, AI, and finance transformation—positioning EY as a trusted advisor through proactive guidance, cross‑service collaboration, and visible impact.

Performance Management & Reporting
* Establish performance metrics and reporting frameworks that track transformation impact, enable transparent governance, and support continuous improvement across client engagements and internal delivery.
* Establish transparent reporting processes that ensure accountability and enable data‑driven decision‑making.
