And we’re counting on your unique voice and perspective to help EY become even better, too. Join us and build an exceptional experience for yourself, and a better working world for all.

As part of EY’s focus on the people agenda of organizations and change initiatives, our People Consulting professionals assist our clients in successfully managing and sustaining people, process and/or technology change. This may include the identification and management of stakeholders, leadership development, organizational design, training, cultural assessment and development, talent management, workforce strategies, and planning and executing key communications.

The Opportunity We are seeking a Manager for our People Consulting practice. In joining our team, you will gain valuable experiences and a wealth of knowledge by working across various capabilities, service offerings and industries. Working in multidisciplinary teams, and directly with leaders of major organizations, you will bring diverse perspectives to every challenge. We are uniquely and strategically positioned to advise leaders in the face of increasing disruptions, an ever‑changing workforce, and evolving business landscape. Whether your passion is devising and driving large‑scale change strategies, organizational design or transforming HR organizations, you will find an environment that is innovative, cultivates purpose, and thrives on collaboration. We will help you achieve your potential by supporting your professional development and by providing you with leadership opportunities.

Key Responsibilities Our approach to organizational design helps guide our clients from assessment through to implementation. You’ll lead large‑scale organizational design projects and advise stakeholders while building relationships with colleagues and clients. You’ll also work collaboratively to deliver innovative and insightful solutions for a range of challenges, from how to best structure teams to deliver on the organization’s strategy to how the organization’s structure can allow for more agile ways of working.
