The opportunity 

This is an opportunity to become deeply immersed for 18 to 24 months in a global initiative to transform EY’s sales approach, behaviors and activities.

EY’s Sales Transformation Program will play a pivotal role in driving the professionalization of sales within our global organization. This initiative aims to continuously evolve the firms’ approach to sales across a number of dimensions:

• Elevating the sales acumen of all client serving professionals by achieving a minimum level of mastery of sales fundamentals (The Brilliant Basics)
• Ensuring the technology roadmap continuously aligns with broader Clients & Industries initiatives, leveraging the firm’s investment in Dynamics and identifying opportunities where AI can be beneficially deployed
• Working with Talent to assess the future talent requirements of the sales organisation including a review of remuneration and evaluation models, as appropriate
• Designing a sales operating model and ensuring it is implemented globally and in each Super Region, as appropriate
• Ensuring there are programs to drive both near and long-term cultural transformation to create a distinctive EY sales culture that provides a consistent client experience, fosters teamwork, and focuses on client value

Reporting to the Sales Transformation Program Lead,  you will have the opportunity to own and drive a number of complex programs including project scope, time and budget plans, resourcing plans, risk and mitigation strategies, program activation plans, communication plans, and ROI analysis.

You will be involved in planning and leading stakeholder meetings, working groups, and steering committee sessions globally with multiple EY and Clients and Industries stakeholders, identifying opportunities for effective collaboration and co-creation of program deliverables.

You will develop a comprehensive understanding of the program to connect all facets, applying in-depth knowledge of EY’s business, resources, leveraging relationships, communications, and operational effectiveness including sharing success stories and examples that showcase program outputs and applications, while building momentum and insight across regional Clients and Industries teams.

• Demonstrated drive, determination and resilience, and a track record of being able to overcome barriers and achieve results
• An understanding of and desire to strive for profitable growth and commercial impact
• A global mindset and ability to communicate and work effectively across cultures
