Job title: Technology Risk – (Assistant, Executive & Assistant Manager) – Consulting – EY Mauritius

Company: EY

Job description: Technology is at the heart of most modern organisations. Technology provides businesses with the potential to deliver new services, operate in new markets, and change the way they operate. As well as opening a world of opportunities, technology exposes organisations to a variety of risks. We help our clients to identify and manage these risks to protect their stakeholders.

At EY, you’ll have the chance to build a career as unique as you are, with the global scale, support, inclusive culture and technology to become the best version of you. And we’re counting on your unique voice and perspective to help EY become even better, too. Join us and build an exceptional experience for yourself, and a better working world for all.

The opportunity

As a leading independent provider of risk advisory services, EY supports organisations in managing their risks, exploiting opportunities and operating effectively.

• Maintain internal and external relationships with different stakeholders as required
• Coach team members and support continuous learning (for seniors and assistant managers)
