The opportunity

EY’s Riyadh Innovation Hub brings senior leaders together with the people, methods and technology needed to work through complex challenges and determine what to do next. It combines EY wavespace methods with immersive environments, live technology demonstrations and rapid prototyping, delivered in collaboration with EY teams and technology alliance partners.

Connected to EY’s global network of innovation centers and wavespace locations, the hub hosts high-impact strategic conversations for government, energy, infrastructure and multinational clients. It places particular emphasis on intelligent enterprise, AI-enabled transformation and future-focused growth.

We are looking for a Senior Immersive Experience Facilitator to shape, curate and lead the hub’s most senior client experiences. This is a highly visible, client-facing role for an accomplished practitioner who can engage C-suite executives, board members and ministerial audiences in a technology-rich environment, while ensuring that technology supports the conversation and leads to meaningful business outcomes.

You will work closely with account, sector, service line and alliance teams to define the client challenge, design the experience journey and lead the engagement. You will also collaborate with the hub’s immersive design, technical and engineering teams to validate promising ideas through rapid prototypes.

The outputs of each experience should enable clear decisions, validated concepts and qualified commercial opportunities that can be transitioned to the relevant EY service lines for proof of concept and delivery.

The role reports to the Hub Director and requires a depth of executive engagement and immersive-environment experience beyond a traditional facilitation role.

Your key responsibilities

Executive facilitation in immersive environments

• Lead high-stakes sessions for C-suite executives, board members and ministerial audiences, including plenary discussions, structured activities, breakout conversations, synthesis and outcome development.
• Facilitate intensive, inquiry-led conversations that challenge assumptions, uncover the underlying issue and guide senior stakeholders toward informed decisions.
• Integrate immersive spaces, live demonstrations, simulations and data visualizations into the client conversation rather than using them simply as presentation elements.
• Create an inclusive and psychologically safe environment that encourages meaningful participation throughout the experience.
• Apply strong listening skills, emotional intelligence and executive presence to manage energy, ambiguity, conflict and politically sensitive viewpoints in real time.
• Guide stakeholders toward alignment while preserving the complexity of the challenge and ensuring that all relevant perspectives are considered.

Experience shaping and curation

• Shape each engagement before detailed design begins by aligning with account, sector and alliance leaders on the client problem, audience, intended decisions and measures of success.
• Design the end-to-end client journey across discovery, co-creation and transformation formats.
• Select the spaces, content, demonstrations, activities and prototypes that best support the client’s objectives.
• Brief the hub’s immersive designer, technical lead and engineering team on what should be developed,…
