Job description

Senior Manager, Banking & Capital Markets Platforms (Capital Markets focused)Our UK Capital Markets technology and data capability helps our investment banking clients to deliver complex business and regulatory transformation, enabled by technology.The OpportunityEY’s Banking and Capital Markets clients are continuously responding to the multitude of demands on their middle and back offices – this includes client onbarding, post trade transformation (in the light of the shift to T+1 settlement and the move to clear US treasury products centrally), risk, regulatory and compliance.In order to complement our market reading Risk and Transformation practices, EY is rapidly scaling the data and technology skills needed to support effective delivery of post trade, risk and regulatory-driven transformation.In recent years we have helped investment banks improve their compliance with regulations such as the Basel 3 Regulatory Framework, FRTB, BCBS 239 and Trade and Transaction Reporting. Elsewhere, we are also supporting retail and corporate banks to respond effectively to regulations such as T+1 settlement and client onboarding.Data and technology is central to all of the above – and increasingly firms are looking to emerging technologies such as Generative AI to accelerate the pace of delivery and improve the outcomes they can achieve.While we predominantly serve the UK market, our clients are global, and we collaborate extensively with our fellow capital markets teams in EMEIA, the US and APACWe come at transformation problems in the following ways with respect to technology:

• We are highly skilled at delivering and overseeing large scale technology change – from inception and requirements definition through to operational readiness. We prefer an agile methodology but are happy to work in whatever ways our clients demand.

• We are increasingly bringing technology assets to clients to help accelerate transformation.. Our technology assets include proprietary EY tools as well as best-of-breed vendor tools.

• We deploy team members from on-shore, near-shore and off-shore teams, and often work alongside our major alliance partners, such as Microsoft, ServiceNow, and Snowflake. Increasingly we collaborate with FinTech firms too.

• We are passionate about keeping pace with the latest emerging technology. We have recently invested in senior hires in Cloud, Digital, Intelligent Automation and AI. But we aren’t interested in technology for the sake of technology – we combine the tech mindset with EY’s deep business and regulatory knowledge in order to deploy technology intelligently to solve business problems.

• We are always mindful of the role we and our clients play in relation to long term sustainability and the drive to help financial services become a low carbon industry. We are already advising clients on sustainability and the enabling role that data and technology play.

• Engagement delivery; as a Senior Manager, you could be accountable for large scale delivery, or a subject matter resource as part of a broader team. You will bring technical expertise, and deep domain knowledge, and a mindset that can solve complex challenges.

• Solution Development; you will use your data and technology domain expertise to help shape proprietary EY solutions and solutions that we co-develop with our alliance partners.
