The opportunity

As a member of the EY Wavespace (EY’s growth and innovation center), you will have the opportunity to work with global clients to understand and address some of their largest and most complex performance challenges, and ultimately improve and drive sustainable business results. We enable organizations to identify and address their most critical issues, ranging from strategic direction and alignment, digital disruption and organizations responses to the pace of change, whether technological, political or societal in nature.

The nature of work focuses on the design and facilitation of collaborative events. Our approach is grounded in a number of methodologies, of which design thinking is core; however, you will also engage with the entire consulting value chain, including program and change management.
