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.

EY is the only professional services firm with a separate business unit (“FSO”) that is dedicated to the financial services marketplace. Our FSO teams have been at the forefront of every event that has reshaped and redefined the financial services industry. If you have a passion for rallying together to solve the most complex challenges in the financial services industry, come join our dynamic FSO team!

The business problems our clients are facing today are not the same problems they have faced in the past. The rapid pace of development in Artificial Intelligence and the technology that enables it has created an urgent need to innovate and adapt to the new global business paradigm. Financial institutions are looking to build smarter and more efficient ways to operate their business, create new revenue streams, and better manage risk, through new opportunities uncovered by their data. We believe that to fully unlock the potential of Artificial Intelligence, we need to look not only at its application, but also at the strategy level for how best to transform the enterprise into one that is technology and data focused and ready for the new age. Our clients’ problems are becoming increasingly complex while at the same time the need to automate and streamline is rising.

The opportunity

This Senior Manager will serve as a strategic leader for EY FSO’s enterprise knowledge transformation agenda, shaping how the firm captures, structures, governs, and scales proprietary knowledge across service lines. This role will provide vision and execution leadership for the design, implementation, productization, and adoption of ontology and knowledge graph capabilities that enable EY to move from siloed and localized know-how to scalable, reusable, machine-readable knowledge systems.

The role will align service lines, business units, technical teams, governance functions, and senior leadership around a common ontology strategy and operating model. The successful candidate will lead the development of enterprise knowledge graphs, semantic models, standards, governance practices, and adoption approaches that encode EY’s subject matter expertise, methodologies, source-of-truth structures, data relationships, and institutional knowledge in a scalable form. This individual will also act as a senior change leader, building teams, upskilling professionals, navigating organizational complexity, and demonstrating measurable business impact from ontology-enabled transformation across EY.
