The Opportunity

As part of our Asset & Wealth Management practice, you’ll help clients better align their operating models, data, and technology with their business strategies. Our work spans the full investment value chain—from front-office strategy and product development to middle- and back-office transformation and digital enablement.

You’ll serve both traditional and alternative asset managers, wealth platforms, and service providers, working on initiatives that enable efficiency, scale, and transparency. Increasingly, this includes supporting clients as they expand into Private Markets and semi-liquid alternative products—helping bridge the operational and regulatory complexities between public and private investments.

This is an opportunity to build deep expertise across a diverse set of asset classes while developing future-ready consulting skills in operations, technology, data, and regulatory change.

Key Responsibilities

• Support clients across the investment management lifecycle, from product development and investment operations to fund accounting, data management, and reporting.
• Help design and implement target operating models that improve scalability, cost efficiency, and governance across front-, middle-, and back-office functions.
• Participate in technology-enabled transformations, including system selection and implementation (e.g., Aladdin, Charles River, Geneva, Investran, eFront, or equivalent).
• Work with clients on emerging areas such as outsourcing strategy, automation, and digital operating models.
• Contribute to business development, thought leadership, and knowledge sharing within the team, particularly around market convergence between traditional and alternative investments.
• Collaborate closely with colleagues across service lines to bring integrated EY solutions spanning operations, data, risk, finance, and technology.

Skills and Attributes for Success

• Solid understanding of the asset and wealth management industry, including investment operations, product structures, and client segments.
• Interest or experience in Private Markets and Alternatives (e.g., Private Equity, Private Credit, Real Estate, Infrastructure, or secondaries) as the industry expands access to non-traditional products.
• Ability to translate complex business and operatio
