Why EY — and why FS
EY is the only professional services firm with a separate business unit (“FS”) dedicated to the financial services marketplace. Our FS teams have been at the forefront of every event that has reshaped and redefined the industry. If you have a passion for rallying together to solve the most complex challenges in financial services, come join our dynamic FS team!
Clients’ problems are evolving rapidly. The pace of AI and enabling technologies creates an urgent need to innovate, automate and adapt. Financial institutions want smarter, more efficient operations, new data‑driven revenue streams, and stronger risk management. Unlocking AI’s full potential means not only applying it, but also transforming the enterprise to be data‑ and technology‑led. Problems are getting more complex just as the pressure to streamline is rising.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
EY is investing in engineering‑led AI at scale and expanding collaboration with Microsoft/OpenAI to bring advanced capabilities to clients via Microsoft’s secure Azure OpenAI Service. You’ll help build production‑grade systems aligned to EY platform patterns and Responsible AI guardrails.
