Creating impact in the finance environment
You want to actively shape complex finance and risk topics and achieve real impact?
At EY ifb, you work on challenging transformation projects for banks and insurance companies – ranging from regulatory issues to modern IT and SAP solutions. In interdisciplinary teams, you advise clients as a trusted partner and combine strategic thinking with effective execution. You take responsibility, continuously develop your professional profile, and work in a mid‑sized organisation with around 350 employees – offering short decision‑making paths, backed by the development opportunities and strength of the global EY network.
Your Responsibilities
In our team, you will connect IT risk management, regulation, and technology, working on topics that are truly shaping today’s banking industry. We support our clients from conceptual analysis through to technical implementation, developing robust governance and IT solutions for topics such as DORA and artificial intelligence. You can expect an environment with strong subject‑matter depth, real scope for shaping outcomes, and a clear focus on delivery and implementation. In this role, you will take on a wide range of responsibilities:
- You design and implement advanced strategies to further develop IT risk management functions through technological innovations such as artificial intelligence and blockchain. In doing so, you support our clients in meeting regulatory requirements while jointly unlocking new business opportunities.
- You lead consulting projects with a focus on IT regulation and support clients in building a robust regulatory foundation for the use of technologies such as AI and cryptocurrencies.
- You manage complex implementation projects and actively contribute to the technical execution. Leveraging your programming skills, you help deliver innovative solutions that position our clients as technologically advanced and secure.
- You share your expertise through knowledge transfer sessions and trainings, strengthening our clients’ and their teams’ ability to confidently navigate current regulatory and technological developments and to remain resilient against cyber threats.
Your Skillset
- A completed university degree and at least three years of relevant professional experience in (audit‑related) consulting for financial institutions, with a focus on IT compliance.
- Hands-on experience in implementing IT regulatory requirements (e.g. DORA) and in closing regulatory gaps; a strong technical understanding to manage complex projects, ideally complemented by programming skills or experience with platforms such as ServiceNow.
- Strong strategic and analytical skills, a deep understanding of regulatory challenges and technological developments in the financial services industry, and fluent German and English, both written and spoken.
Your mindset
- Agile: You believe that a flexible mindset is just as critical to success as knowledge and skills.
- Curious: You are ambitious and highly engaged. We are looking for people who think in terms of opportunities rather than challenges and who find better solutions by asking the right questions.
- Team‑oriented: You value diverse perspectives and enjoy working collaboratively. We are looking for people who want to achieve meaningful results together with us and help create a trust‑based working environment.
Your Benefits
We create space for what matters to you – at work and beyond.
- You shape your daily work flexibly, with mobile working options, fair time tracking, and opportunities such as sabbaticals or job portability.
- Your health matters to us. With offerings focused on mental wellbeing, medical advice, and sports and fitness programmes, we help you stay balanced.
We also support you during challenging phases of life – including assistance for families, caregiving responsibilities, and bereavement. - And because development at EY ifb is no coincidence, we support you with structured onboarding, individual learning opportunities, and tailored programmes for your career development.
