Senior Technology Product Manager - Data Analytics

EY's Transaction Advisory Services (TAS) practice helps businesses drive competitive advantage by proactively managing their capital agenda, which determines how they strategically raise, invest, preserve and optimize their capital. We work with a wide range of clients to help them make better and more informed decisions about how they strategically manage capital and transactions in an increasingly disrupted marketplace. The rapid advancement in technology is one of the key forces that is driving this disruption - impacting both our clients as well as our own business. To respond to this technology disruption, the TAS practice has embarked on a journey of change to exploit the opportunities from technology and fundamentally evolve how we serve our clients - from the use of artificial intelligence to identify insights in data, robotic processes to automate routine tasks and natural language generation to automate report writing. As part of this journey, we recently engaged our 1200 TAS practitioners in UK & Ireland in a process that has identified a number of innovation initiatives. We now have open roles to drive these initiatives from their initial ideas through to proof-of-concepts and pilots, and ultimately leading to the scaling and integration of technology based products into the core business. These tasks will involve working closely with and managing multiple stakeholders - from internal innovation ideas teams to external technology vendors. A combination of strong communication, project management, product development and technology understanding will be key to this role. Although the TAS team is largely London-based, we operate as a national team and a number of our innovation ideas come from the regions. This role may therefore require some travel within the UK.
