Manager

Description:

At EY, you’ll have the chance to build a career as unique as you are, with the global scale, support, inclusive culture and technology to become the best version of you. And we’re counting on your unique voice and perspective to help EY become even better, too. Join us and build an exceptional experience for yourself, and a better working world for all.

A better working world truly starts with the people at EY who are building it every day. Now more than ever we need talented people from diverse backgrounds to help our clients navigate the complexities of this Transformative Age: people with the passion, curiosity and drive to make things better.

EY’s Strategy and Transactions (SaT) division offers corporate, government and private equity clients’ professional strategy and transaction advice and services, from corporate strategy to operational strategy and the strategic analysis phase of the transaction lifecycle, through to deal execution, and transaction integration. The goal is to help EY clients achieve their best capital performance, deliver value to their stakeholders and meet their strategic objectives.

The opportunity

We are looking for a Manager to join the Transaction Strategy and Execution team in our Perth office. This role is offered on a flexible full time or part time basis.

As part of the TSE team, your specific focus will be advising and supporting clients on operational strategy engagements. Services range from facilitating strategic workshops with clients, coordinating development of strategic plans and designing and leading operational strategic change programs.

Your work will involve collaboration with teams across Strategy and Transactions and the wider firm to address client issues around the Capital Agenda, such as:

• Raising capital: do I really understand my core vs non-core business, which parts of my portfolio are underperforming, should I consider a divestment and how would I carve-out that BU, separate it and transition it over to a buyer?
• Investing capital: what’s the best way for my business to grow, where should I be allocating my capital organically and inorganically, what acquisitions and alliances will deliver greatest return, how should I plan for and run a buy-side transaction?
• Optimising capital: what steps can I take to maximise my business’s performance, how do I design and execute on integration and synergy strategies, how do I adapt my business and operating models and how do I go on and achieve value creation to maximise total shareholder return?
• Preserving capital: how can I improve the performance of my business, what rapid performance improvement or cost out levers can I pull, how can I improve liquidity and release cash from my businesses, how do I identify and resolve specific performance issues within my business?

This is a key role where you will have the opportunity to grow the capability of the Perth team.

• Support business development initiatives including sales proposals, scoping of projects, commercial negotiations and securing engagement approval from clients
• Deliver operational due diligence, operational strategy and operational strategic change assignments from inception to completion including project management and report writing
• Build and maintain effective client relationships with senior stakeholders and be accountable for a high degree of client satisfaction with the engagement process and work products
• Leverage EY industry thought leadership and support development of sector specific points of view
