The opportunity: your next adventure awaits

At EY Consulting, we are building a better working world by transforming businesses through the power of people, technology, and innovation. The advent of emerging tech is recasting all industries and requires our clients to embrace turning new technology capabilities into new competitive advantages.

We work collaboratively with some of the top executives in the largest companies in the world, helping them create and realize the best solutions for the future of their companies. Each project will be different, so you’ll need to be able to excel in ambiguous situations and confidently navigate ever-changing circumstances. We’ll look to you to be a self-starter, have the ability to translate complex information into simple terms, and deliver long-term solutions with confidence. On this team, you’ll have the unique opportunity to imagine the future as well as create it, where you can craft ideas and implement them for our clients.

We are hiring into our Risk group for a few of our teams:

The Enterprise Risk team provides comprehensive risk services to assist clients in aligning their Risk and Internal Audit functions to their business strategy. We deliver in areas for our clients that extend beyond traditional assurance services, including providing business advice on strategic topics and emerging risks, anticipating future trends, and fostering change and leading practice development. This team supports CPA study.

The Technology Risk team, sometimes described as “IT Audit”, is focused on helping our clients better manage their risks, reducing exposure to negative events to successfully turn risk into results. The risks our clients face are diverse and we work with them to manage risks in areas such as the design and operation of their internal controls, the security of their business critical systems, the delivery of major IT enabled programs, their relationships with third party relationships and their management of business critical data. This team supports CPA study.

As we are client facing, we expect our interns to demonstrate professionalism and competence in the client's environment. To maintain a strong client focus, be responsive to client requests, and to develop/maintain productive working relationships with client personnel. Students working for us should keep up to date on current business/economic developments relevant to the client's business and collaborate with team members to set goals and responsibilities for the project.
