Are you building your tomorrow, today? Then think about a career with our Transaction Strategy and Execution (TSE) team. The TSE team is the largest combined Operations and IT team in Europe. We have a market-leading proposition to create and maximise value for our clients, whether they are acquiring or divesting assets, or undertaking operational restructuring.

As a team, we identify ideas and sources of value creation and design and deliver execution plans to realise benefits.

Your key responsibilities

As Director within our TSE team, you'd drive aspects of business origination, including pitches and presentations to potential clients to help sell work, own meaningful client relationships, and lead project delivery working with senior client stakeholders within tight timeframes for some of EY's most demanding clients. As a consultant, you'll advise clients across all sectors, supporting key decision makers in developing and executing strategies for value creation.

You would also be expected to contribute to our practice development initiatives, supporting the continued focus on our team as a great place to work.

Ideally, you'll also have

• Strong written and verbal communication skills and experience of producing and reviewing high-quality reports, papers, presentations and thought leadership

What we are looking for
