EY delivers unparalleled tax and accounting services to the world’s largest companies. The tax and finance functions of our clients are undergoing significant change as a result of digital transformation, big data, and data analytics. We leverage best practices and a high degree of business acumen that has been compiled over years of experience to ensure the highest level of execution and satisfaction for our clients. At EY, our methods are not tied to any specific platforms but rather arrived at by analysing business needs and making sure that the solutions delivered meet all client goals.

We help our clients transform. We are modernising their applications, processes, the way they access, analyse and use data driving business efficiency and insight.

The opportunity  
As a member of the tax practice, you will have the opportunity to work with global clients to understand and address some of their largest and most complex tax and accounting challenges, helping them design the optimum function, leveraging technology, offshoring, and outsourcing options.

Whilst the nature of our work focuses on the design and facilitation of collaborative events, the competencies required are a diverse and challenging blend of logical problem solving and innovative thinking, strong communication skills, psychology, an open and inquisitive mind and a fundamental desire to enable the capabilities of others to reach resolutions.

In terms of skills, session design, facilitation experience and design thinking is core. Equally critical are project and program management and change management. A relevant level of experience and knowledge of FTSE 100 clients and industry trends around technology and future ways of working.

Facilitators will need to engage with unfamiliar groups who are operating under high pressure and create the environment and framework that empowers them to rapidly understand challenges, identify options for potential resolution and to steer them towards an appropriate set of action oriented outcomes. In preparation for client sessions, you will work with SMEs across the tax practice to transform traditional content to be more engaging and incorporate this content into various client sessions as appropriate depending on the theme of the session. Working with the SMEs, you will convert traditional project methods into collaborative exercises that accelerate the solution design process for our clients.

What to expect

Working across a wide range of clients and industries, you’ll be using your rapidly growing knowledge to work alongside some of the most creative people and deepest technical specialists in the business. If you’re looking for somewhere to apply your technical learning to real-world scenarios and design exciting innovation sessions, there’s nowhere better to make it happen.

Your key responsibilities

We are looking for Session Designers who will be responsible for capturing in real-time our clients’ journey to reshape and transform their functions through digital in order to reduce costs, better manage risk and improve overall business performance. While the individual assignments will vary depending on client needs, you should expect to be responsible for a wide range of strategic activities which will likely include:
