Preferred locations for this position is London but highly qualified applicants from other locations will still be considered.
In a fast-changing and uncertain world, the right insights make the difference between seizing an opportunity and missing it entirely. EY Knowledge helps EY to win in the market by providing the right insights at the right time through an agile, client-first organization.
This Analyst position will see you provide deep insights and perspectives on the Wealth & Asset Management sector to EY leadership, participate in client meetings and external events to strengthen EY’s presence and reputation in the market, and mentor more junior analysts to develop their commercial and analytical skills. Focused areas will include either Sustainability, Wealth Management & Private banking, or Alternative assets.
The opportunity:
EY recognizes the power of knowledge to anticipate change, unlock value and drive growth.

- Have strong commercial acumen, able to connect client business issues with EY solutions
- Have experience in interacting with senior business leaders, leading conversations, and offering differentiating perspectives

What we look for:
