Job description
At EY, we're all in to shape your future with confidence. We'll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go. Join EY and help to build a better working world.
Confidence in your growth. Freedom to shape it your way.
You're at the beginning of your career and looking for both security and freedom. Sound familiar? At EY, you get both. You learn on the job, develop lifelong skills, and build a career that suits you, together with your colleagues. With plenty of guidance and space to discover what really matters to you. You're not just starting a job, you're starting your future.
The startdate is 1 may 2027.
EY-Parthenon supports organizations in pursuing investments in organic or acquisitive growth and business improvements. This includes strategy development, operational transformations, restructurings, and guiding IPOs, mergers, and acquisitions. By combining the broad experience within our team with analytical tools and techniques, and by collaborating closely with the global EY-Parthenon network, we help clients make well-founded decisions. We also support organizations in bringing their strategy, transaction, or transformation to life. Our team is built on a culture that promotes training, entrepreneurship, and creative freedom.
As a consultant, you will be involved from strategy to execution. Through our Graduate Program, you will rotate between various teams and disciplines within Strategy & Execution (S&E). This rotation allows you to work with different teams on a wide range of client challenges, contribute to the development of our practice, and discover where your interests and strengths lie.
You will learn to translate client needs into project tasks and deliverables. Your day-to-day work may involve managing problem-solving processes, performing analytical activities, or acting as a bridge between team members, partners, or clients.
Examples of work you may be involved in:
In the pre-transaction phase, you and your team analyze the target company. You will focus on the market, organization, operations, and technology, identifying opportunities, risks, and potential synergies.
During integration or separation processes, you help ensure a smooth merger or acquisition. Working closely with clients, you monitor progress and results to maximize value creation.
You identify sector information and trends relevant to the client, support the facilitation of strategy sessions, and contribute to developing the final report.
You work on projects where EY-Parthenon advises clients on how to approach emerging technologies. This includes researching specific technologies and their impact on markets and business operations.
You map out relevant digital trends and technological solutions for specific clients and sectors. You support client sessions and help develop the strategic recommendations.
You help clients identify value drivers for potential deals, explore relevant target types, and define possible M&A approaches.
Within the Strategy & Execution practice of EY-Parthenon, we support clients in determining and implementing their strategy to maximize value creation. Since many strategies remain unexecuted, our key question is always: how can the intended value actually be realized?
We do this through different types of due diligence, validating or designing strategies, or by providing direct support during major carve-outs or integrations. Our clients operate in sectors such as private equity, energy, financial services, healthcare & life sciences, retail, FMCG, technology, media, and telecom.
Our Amsterdam office is located at the Zuidas – a dynamic environment home to many leading companies. In our Cross Towers, over 1,500 people walk in every day. For a stunning view of Amsterdam, head to the 22nd floor. Collaboration takes on new meaning in our Wavespace: a high-tech setting that connects clients and colleagues around the world.
A background in Finance is not required, but affinity with the discipline and familiarity with financial terminology is preferred. We invite students and recent graduates with a Master's degree from a Dutch university in one of the following fields to apply: Finance, Financial Management, Business Administration, Economics, Econometrics, Computer Science, or Mathematics.

- Strong analytical capabilities and excellent communication skills
- Fluency in Dutch and English, both spoken and written
- A demonstrated interest in strategy development and mergers & acquisitions
- Strong skills in Microsoft Office and Excel
