At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence.

We’ll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go. Join EY and help to build a better working world.

EY has an established Global Managed Services business, of which Assurance Managed Services is a rapidly growing part, encompassing Integrated Finance, Controllership, FP&A, Treasury, ESG, Intelligent Data Discovery and Digital Compliance and Technology Risk solutions. Our ambition is to achieve significant growth in Assurance managed services through investment in modular, digital and audit-ready services available in both EY-hosted and EY-client hybrid configurations.

To drive this growth, we are expanding our multi-disciplinary Solutions team to increase the breadth and depth of our technology, data, process and controls, and business architecture expertise.

The Global Solutions team leads the investment to create and enhance our Assurance Managed Services solution portfolio. We work closely with our business domain leaders to help define the global vision for Assurance Managed Services and set the standards to which our managed services are developed and delivered.

With clients increasingly seeking to digitize their operations, we work closely with our EY technology teams, technology alliance partners and broader ecosystem to identify and leverage the latest technology applications, as well as leveraging predictive analytics, AI and machine learning to optimize our services and provide deep client insights into their own business operations.

The team is made up of data specialists (data architects, data engineers, data scientists), technology architects, process and controls architects, business transformation specialists and client‑facing deal architects.

We are seeking to expand this team with the introduction of experienced Solution Architects to support the growth of Assurance Managed Services. These Solution Architects will partner with business domain leaders to shape, design, and commercialise managed services offerings. The roles bridge business strategy and solution and technology execution, translating market opportunities, customer requirements, and domain‑specific needs into scalable, operationally and commercially viable managed services architectures.

The ideal candidates will combine strong business and technology acumen with architectural rigor and have a proven ability to convert strategic intent into structured managed service portfolios, operating models, and commercial frameworks.
