Job description

Senior Associate-Consultant

At EY, we're all in to shape your future with confidence. We'll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go. Join EY and help to build a better working world.

EY-Parthenon's unique combination of transformative strategy, transactions and corporate finance delivers real-world value solutions that work in practice, not just on paper. With deep functional and sector expertise, paired with innovative AI-powered technology and an investor mindset, we partner with CEOs, Boards, Private Equity and Governments every step of the way enabling you to shape your future with confidence.

Within EY-Parthenon's Strategy and Execution sub service line, the Tech Private Equity Value Creation team is a specialized group focused on unlocking growth and operational efficiency for private equity portfolio companies. The team works primarily with PE-backed, SaaS businesses in the Technology, Media, and Telecommunications (TMT) sector. Our team partners with management teams to identify critical business challenges, uncover actionable insights, and develop strategic and tactical recommendations, typically supporting execution planning and, in many cases, helping drive implementation. This is a high-impact, fast-paced environment where consultants play a key role in delivering results and shaping client outcomes.

Your Key Responsibilities

As a Senior Associate-Consultant in EY-Parthenon's Strategy and Execution Tech Private Equity Value Creation practice, you will be a vital member of the team executing operational focused projects. Your responsibilities will include :

  • Conduct structured, data-driven analysis to identify root causes and quantify opportunities using Excel and other tools.
  • Drive structured analysis to identify root causes, quantify opportunities, and develop actionable, data-backed recommendations across go-to-market, pricing, customer success, product, and operations.
  • Develop and test hypotheses to address complex business problems across go-to-market, pricing, customer success, product, and operations.
  • Prepare client-ready deliverables and contribute to presentations with increasing independence.
  • Support Directors and Partners by preparing materials and insights that help them show up well-informed and impactful at client meetings.
  • Take ownership of discrete workstreams and begin to lead internal and client discussions with limited oversight.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional client teams and EY-Parthenon colleagues to drive alignment and momentum.

Skills and Attributes for Success

To qualify for the role, you must have :

  • A bachelor's degree in Business, Accounting, Finance, Engineering, Computer Science, or Analytics and 2 years of related work experience; or a graduate degree and approximately 18 months of related work experience.
  • Experience in management consulting, investment banking, corporate strategy, or operating roles with significant exposure to growth, go-to-market, or operational improvement.
  • Strong proficiency in Excel modelling, Power Point storytelling and structured problem solving.
  • Demonstrated ability to work independently and take ownership of deliverables.
  • Experience developing client presentations and communicating insights effectively.
  • Understanding financial statements and operational performance metrics.
  • Experience leading and managing in complex business environments.
  • You must either reside in or be in a commutable distance to your office location for this position.
  • The ability and willingness to travel and work in excess of standard hours when necessary.
  • Ideally, you will have :

  • MBA from a top-rated school.
  • Direct experience with private equity sponsors and / or PE-backed portfolio companies.
  • Sector experience in TMT, with particular emphasis on B2B SaaS business models.
  • Familiarity with go-to-market strategy, product development, or operational improvement in a consulting or operating role.
  • Knowledge of how to leverage firm-approved AI tools in a business setting, including Microsoft Copilot.
  • We are looking for intellectually curious, analytically strong professionals who thrive in fast-paced, high-impact environments. You should be energized by solving complex problems, collaborating with teams, and helping clients unlock value. If you bring an entrepreneurial mindset, a passion for technology and innovation, and a desire to grow through hands-on experience, this role is for you.

    At EY, we'll develop you with future-focused skills and equip you with world-class experiences. We'll empower you in a flexible environment, and fuel you and your extraordinary talents in a diverse and inclusive culture of globally connected teams.

    We offer a comprehensive compensation and benefits package where you'll be rewarded based on your performance and recognized for the value you bring to the business. The base salary range for this job in all geographic locations in the US is $130,000 to $185,000. Individual salaries within those ranges are determined through a wide variety of factors including but not limited to education, experience, knowledge, skills and geography. In addition, our Total Rewards package includes medical and dental coverage, pension and 401(k) plans, and a wide range of paid time off options.

    Join us in our team-led and leader-enabled hybrid model. Our expectation is for most people in external, client serving roles to work together in person 40-60% of the time over the course of an engagement, project or year. Under our flexible vacation policy, you'll decide how much vacation time you need based on your own personal circumstances. You'll also be granted time off for designated EY Paid Holidays, Winter / Summer breaks, Personal / Family Care, and other leaves of absence when needed to support your physical, financial, and emotional well-being.
