The opportunity
EY’s Business Consulting team is expanding its Managed Services footprint in Switzerland. Globally, EY has a proven portfolio of Managed Services, tested, industrialized and built to scale, yet in Switzerland much of this potential remains untapped. We are now bringing these capabilities to market where client pressure is most acute, from regulatory reporting to operational carve-outs, with each offering addressing a clear pain point where traditional models no longer deliver. We are seeking professionals with approx. 2–5 years’ experience in consulting or financial services who want to help build a new platform of solutions in the Swiss market, and as a Consultant or Senior Consultant in our Transformation Execution Practice you will design and deliver scalable, technology-enabled services across WAM, BCM and Insurance.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Support the design of managed services that adapt to client needs in scope, scale, and speed.
• Help shape pursuits by co-creating with clients or leveraging proven EY solutions to build outcome-focused propositions.
• Structure financial models that shift fixed to variable cost through pricing innovation and amortization design.
• Apply EY methods, accelerators, and governance standards to deliver effectively and efficiently
• Contrbute to delivery models such as Build-Operate-Transfer, As-a-Service, captive transitions, and offshore build-outs to ensure scalable, trusted execution.

• Client engagement skills, demonstrated by shaping discussions with CFOs on financial flexibility, CIOs on technology choices, and COOs on operating efficiency, linking these priorities to outcomes such as reduced operating expenditure or improved regulatory compliance.
• Service design expertise, shown in translating complex requirements into scalable managed service models anchored in clear SLAs, outcome metrics, and governance frameworks.
• Pursuit and financial structuring experience, with the ability to co-create propositions by leveraging EY solutions and delivery strength, tailoring them to client needs and shaping pricing models that convert fixed to variable cost, manage volume thresholds, and optimise transaction economics.
• Delivery credentials, evidenced by work on Build-Operate-Transfer, As-a-Service, captive transitions, or ODCs, with a track record backed by KPIs.
• Fluency in English and German, with Swiss German or other languages an advantage; 2–5 years in consulting or financial services, supported by a strong academic record. Direct experience in global delivery hubs such as India or Poland is an asset.
