• Designing and implementing experience‑led service management
• All encompassed by end‑to‑end programme management

You will either lead smaller projects or leading work streams in larger projects, and be responsible for the delivery of the agreed work products and outcomes, while building relationships at all levels within client organisations. You will work with the client to understand their most critical business problems and priorities, consulting with your EY peers to evaluate, design, and deliver solution options that leverage cutting‑edge technologies.
