Our EA work draws on the breadth of EY’s capabilities and is underpinned with rigorous, evidence-based quantitative analysis and deep sector expertise.

Through your work here, you will develop highly sought after coding and analytical skills while providing services to Fortune 500 companies, SMEs and government agencies across all sectors and industries.

What to expect

There really is no average day in this role. We’ll look to you to go above and beyond, often operating at a senior level by taking ownership of multiple projects as they come up. You’ll primarily be applying economic theory and econometric tools to get to the root of your client’s problem, analyzing large and complex datasets and building predictive models to come up with the most relevant solution. You’ll also be expected to present your findings in a way that’s easily understood by both technical and non-technical audiences at all levels.

Your key responsibilities

  • Translating data into actionable insights and business opportunities through data transformation, modelling, and validation

  • Synthesizing and presenting quantitative results to colleagues and clients with finance, marketing, or operations backgrounds

  • Building and reviewing complex quantitative economic models

  • Managing your time effectively and communicating progress to managers and partners

  • Sharing your expertise and best-practice guidance with colleagues across the business

To qualify for the role you’ll need

  • A degree in a quantitative field, such as Statistics, Business Analytics, Engineering, Economics, Applied Mathematics, etc.

  • The ability to work autonomously and prioritize your workload, often while working on multiple demanding projects

  • Excellent communication and influence skills, with the ability to communicate complex ideas to all audiences

Ideally, you’ll also have

  • Understanding of basic financial and business terminology

  • Consultancy experience

  • Experience in applying statistical and datamining techniques across large datasets to solve business problems

  • Familiarity with a broad base of statistical languages and analytics tools such as:

  • Analytics Platforms (R, SAS, etc.)

  • Data Visualization (Tableau, Spotfire, etc.)

  • Programming or scripting experience (Python, SQL, etc.)

  • Knowledge of core data science and advanced analytics methods, such as statistics, segmentation & clustering, predictive modelling, simulation, optimization, etc.

What we look for

We’re most interested in intellectually curious people with an analytical approach to problem solving in an environment where there’s no easy solution. You’ll also need to be a great communicator, ready to build relationships and influence decisions with both clients and colleagues. If you have the confidence to lead an expanding team while enjoying a culture that nurtures innovation and ownership, this role is for you.
