Government & Public Sector Consulting Wellington
At EY, we are looking for Senior Consultants to join our Wellington Consulting practice and help clients use AI, data, technology to solve complex business, operating model, people and delivery challenges.
AI is now a core part of how we work expect our people to be AI literate, curious and confident in applying AI responsibly, even though that capability will look different across service areas. For some, it will mean building or configuring data and AI-enabled solutions. For others, it will mean helping clients identify high-value use cases, redesign work, strengthen governance, manage change, uplift adoption or translate emerging technology into practical business outcomes.
