EY has an established a Global Managed Services business, of which Assurance Managed Services is a rapidly growing part, encompassing Integrated Finance, Controllership, FP&A, Treasury, ESG, Intelligent Data Discovery and Digital Compliance and Technology Risk solutions.

To drive this growth, we are expanding our multi-disciplinary Solutions team to incorporate the skills and capacity required.

The Opportunity

The Global Solutions team leads the investment to create and enhance our Assurance Managed Services solution portfolio. We work closely with our business domain leaders to help to define the global vision for Assurance Managed Services and set the standards to which our managed services are developed and delivered.

With clients increasingly seeking to digitize their operations, we work closely with our EY technology teams, technology alliance partners and broader ecosystem to identify and leverage the latest technology applications, as well as leveraging predictive analytics, AI and machine learning to optimize our services and provide deep client insights into their own business operations.

The team is made up of data specialists (data architects, data engineers, data scientists), technology architects, process and controls architects, business transformation specialists and client-facing deal architects.

We are seeking to expand this team with the introduction of an experienced Solution Portfolio Delivery Manager who will be accountable for driving the delivery of approved solution architectures into fully designed, configured, governed and rollout‑ready managed services solutions.

Working closely with the Global Solutions Leadership and Architecture functions, this role is accountable for driving the approved architectures through the detailed Service Design and Development lifecycle, ensuring solutions are configured to agreed standards, scalable, operationally ready, and safe to deploy to multiple end clients globally.

This role will coordinate input from a multi-discipline, globally dispersed program team, including EY and vendors, to ensure the solution development is delivered on-time and within budget, and to required quality, risk, and governance standards.

Governance, Risk & Quality Assurance: Own portfolio‑level governance, including required governance stage‑gate approvals, architecture and solution assurance checkpoints, RAID management, budget management and reporting. Ensure solutions meet required quality, risk, compliance, and control standards prior to rollout, securing the requisite approvals.

Operational Service Readiness Ensure each solution is operationally ready for deployment to multiple clients, including. This will include development of clear service descriptions and packaging, standard onboarding and mobilisation and defined ownership for run, support and change. Coordinate the handover of completed services into Delivery / Operate organisations, ensuring continuity from build into live service.
