About The Position

The banking and capital markets (BCM) sector is undergoing rapid transformation as technological innovation, rising customer expectations, and evolving risks reshape how banks operate and compete.

You will lead a portfolio of programs focusing on the signature issues faced by banks, aligned to your areas of expertise. You will deliver high-impact analysis and insights to position EY in the market and drive commercial value, and support the wider insights landscape, including analysis requirements for BCM executive leadership, aligning insights priorities with the Global BCM board. Recognized as a subject matter expert, you will be sought after by senior partners to provide analytical support and strategic advice on banking developments to both EY leadership and clients in your areas of specialism.
