• Client & business development: Build trusted relationships, identify opportunities, shape proposals and lead parts of RFPs, proposals and SOWs.
• Quality & risk: Uphold EY quality, risk and data protection standards across borders; keep documentation clear and auditable.
• Idea generation: Contribute meaningful ideas and work productively with team members on independent assignments.
