Business Transformation Architecture – Sector_Life Sciences Architect – Senior Manager

The Life Sciences sector @ EY provides a rewarding career opportunity, targeted toward becoming a professional in complex business, technology and infrastructure transformation, not simply being a generalist. If you have a passion for rallying together to solve the most complex challenges in today's marketplace, come join our dynamic LIFE SCIENCES team!​ ​​

 

The opportunity

Our Life Sciences clients are seeking and hiring a new type of Transformation Design expert – one who provides strategic guidance, drives Product and Solution vision, but is also deeply embedded in the delivery and success of their value-driven programs. Traditional suppliers, such as strategy houses, systems integrators, and engineering project management consultants cannot provide the complete service our clients now demand. 

Our insights and capabilities across all levels in planning, analysis and delivery are integrated into our core offerings, and this exemplifies our unique viewpoint over traditional program management. We also offer services that focus on 'bridging the gap' between Execution and Strategy primarily by designing and implementing frameworks and solutions that allow companies to make data-driven decisions to optimize and manage commercial transformation while being enabled via value management, portfolios, and complex program frameworks. With digital and artificial intelligence transformations being a focus of EY, we have incorporated technology into our processes, automating manual work and enabling us to provide greater insights and value to our clients. 

 

Your key responsibilities

A successful Business Transformation Senior Manager will work with our Life Sciences clients to help them with strategic growth, business transformation, and commercial excellence.
