Do you want to help organisations put humans at the centre of everything they do? Because we definitely do!
What are we looking for?
At EY we don’t do ‘cookie cutter’ Consultants, we encourage diversity in our teams. We want creative and ambitious individuals who share our values of sustainability and making a difference to join EY People Consulting (PC) as part of the HR Transformation team. EY PC partner with organisations to put humans at the centre of their transformation agenda enabling them to build a better working world.
Our clients are having to become much more adaptable to change as they face new workforce challenges as a result of globalisation, hybrid working, changing demographics, emerging technology, innovation and regulatory demands. We believe the People agenda is at the heart of successful change and that HR will have a key role in shaping organisations to be fit for the future.
The world of work is changing, so is the role of a Senior Consultant at EY!
The HR Transformation opportunity
The HR Transformation team is growing. We focus on partnering with clients to shape and navigate their People agendas, building functions that are business-focused, cost-effective, and agile by reimagining how HR can meet the needs of their stakeholders. Key to delivering that is a strategic People function that can look beyond HR operations and drive value back to the business.
Our HR Reimagined advisory team offer our clients a number of strategic advisory services that cover the breadth of HR strategy through to delivery of value-added services through HR experience design. We are looking for new team members that can bring a fresh perspective on delivering HR strategy, with experience in designing HR functions for the future and leveraging technology to augment our client’s experience. Individuals with the ability to guide, challenge and shape our clients thinking to deliver bespoke and optimised HR functions that better serve the business, whilst leveraging employee experience and technology.
As a member of our HR Reimagined team, you will join a talented group of professionals working with clients to reimagine the HR function of the future. Our focus is to create solutions that are relevant for each clients business, linked to their strategic ambition, not a ‘one size fits all’ approach.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
