About The Position

EY's Financial Services Office (FSO) is seeking a Senior Consultant to support the analysis and day-to-day delivery required to move a financial institution from data center strategy (including co-lo) and Cloud into executable decisions and plans. This role is not a general project coordinator role. The candidate should have hands-on exposure to at least one substantive part of the data center lifecycle and enough range to work across critical facilities, IT infrastructure, migration, resiliency, and third-party providers. The work is focused primarily on banking, capital markets, insurance, and payments clients. Selected assignments may include other highly regulated or mission-critical organizations where resilience, control, and disciplined execution are central to the client's agenda.

Requirements

Bachelor's degree in engineering, computer science, information systems, construction management, architecture, business or related discipline.
At least 3 years of relevant experience in data centers or Cloud, IT infrastructure, critical facilities, hybrid infrastructure, infrastructure transformation, resiliency or capital-program delivery.
Experience producing real delivery artifacts such as requirements, inventories, dependency maps, schedules, RAID logs, evaluation workbooks, readiness evidence, runbooks or executive reporting.
Experience working across multiple technical and business stakeholder groups, not only within a single support or administration team.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain technical issues in business and risk terms.
Public-cloud migration experience is relevant and is a substitute for data center infrastructure migration, consolidation and exit experience although experience with both is preferred.
Advanced Microsoft Excel, including structured analysis, lookups, pivot tables, quality checks, and management reporting.
Strong Microsoft PowerPoint and the ability to create concise, executive-ready storyline and decision materials.
Working capability in Microsoft Visio, Lucidchart or equivalent for process, dependency, architecture or facility diagrams.
Practical use of Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, Jira or Azure DevOps to manage milestones, dependencies, risks and actions.
Experience extracting, reconciling or analyzing information from at least one infrastructure source such as a DCIM platform, ServiceNow CMDB/ITSM, BMC Helix, Device42, BMS/EPMS, VMware vCenter or cloud inventory tooling. Expertise in every platform is not required.

Nice To Haves

Practical experience using Microsoft Copilot, GitHub Copilot or comparable enterprise generative AI tools to improve research, analysis, requirements development, data review, documentation, reporting or workflow automation is preferred.
Candidates should be able to explain how they validated AI-generated outputs, protected confidential information, and applied professional judgment before using the work product.
Financial services infrastructure, operational resilience, business continuity, disaster recovery, or third-party risk.
Exposure to MEP and critical systems, including electrical distribution, UPS/generators, cooling, controls, and telecommunications.
Colocation sourcing, workload migration, data center consolidation or facility modernization.
Relevant credentials such as PMP, ITIL, Uptime Institute, engineering, or commissioning credentials are preferred but not required.

Responsibilities

Perform current-state assessments of data center and Cloud hosted environments using client data, interviews, site information and technical documents; convert findings into capacity, risk, dependency and decision views.
Support colocation and provider evaluations by developing requirements, scoring criteria, RFP content, evaluation workbooks, site-visit materials and executive comparisons.
Analyze readiness across space, power, cooling, connectivity, compute, storage, network, backup and operational support.
Support build and migration planning through integrated schedules, RAID management, dependency analysis, readiness checkpoints, test evidence, runbooks and go/no-go materials.
Develop application and infrastructure inventories, validate data quality, trace dependencies, and identify gaps that could affect migration sequencing or service continuity.
Prepare client-ready Excel models, PowerPoint decision materials, process and architecture diagrams, status reports, and executive summaries.
Facilitate working sessions across facilities, infrastructure, applications, network, cyber, resiliency, sourcing, finance, risk and providers.
Own assigned work products and escalate issues with a fact base and recommended path forward.
