The opportunity: your next adventure awaits
The EY Strategy and Transactions (SaT) practice works with clients to create social and economic value by helping them make better, more informed decisions about strategically managing capital and transactions in fast-changing markets. We believe that, by helping companies manage their capital agendas and driving their competitive advantages, we’ll help them increase returns through improved decisions across all aspects of their capital agendas – and here you’ll be right at the heart of that mission.
SaT Business Analytics is an integral part, and one of the growth and innovation engines, of the SaT practice. Our strategic vision is building a market-leading, integrated business analytics capability and platform that uses quantitative methods to empower our clients to make informed strategy, transaction, and capital decisions with speed and confidence. We put our analytics capabilities first and at the center of our strategy and transaction offerings to drive differentiation and holistic client value. We are looking for talent that innately solves business problems using a variety of analytics methods.
Our clients look to us for advice and support in overcoming some of their most complex challenges in a broad range of areas, particularly during live M&A transactions. The SaT Business Analytics team creates and delivers a variety of analytics-enabled solutions that enhance our clients’ decision-making processes as they evaluate major financial, commercial and operational decisions.
