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.

The opportunity

Our Artificial Intelligence and Data team helps apply cutting-edge technology and techniques to bring solutions to our clients. As part of that, you'll sit side-by-side with clients and diverse teams from EY to create a well-rounded approach to advising and solving challenging problems, some of which have not been solved before. No two days will be the same, and with constant research and development, you'll find yourself building knowledge that can be applied across a wide range of projects now, and in the future. You'll need to have a passion for continuous learning, stay ahead of the trends, and influence new ways of working so you can position solutions in the most relevant and innovative way for our clients. You can expect heavy client interaction in a fast-paced environment and the opportunity to develop your own career path for your unique skills and ambitions.

In this role, you will research, build, and implement scalable artificial intelligence systems that learn and make predictions tailored to business requirements across various environments, including cloud and on premises. You will enhance data pipelines and storage, ensuring data is clean, accurate, and optimized for XOps processes. Additionally, you will monitor and evaluate learning processes to continuously improve high-performance models, collaborating with other data and analytics professionals to industrialize analysis into effective analytics solutions.

Within Power & Utilities engagements, these solutions will commonly support regulated environments such as electric, gas, and water utilities, addressing domains including grid and asset reliability, outage prediction and response, capital planning, customer operations, regulatory reporting, and operational efficiency across generation, transmission, distribution, and field operations.

Your key responsibilities

As a Manager in AI Native Engineering, you will play a pivotal role in delivering innovative solutions that drive business success. You will work with a wide variety of clients to deliver the latest data science and big data technologies. Your teams will design and build scalable solutions that unify, enrich, and derive insights from varied data sources across a broad technology landscape. You will help our clients navigate the complex world of modern data science, analytics, and software engineering. We'll look to you to provide guidance and perform technical development tasks to ensure data science solutions are properly engineered and maintained to support the ongoing business needs of our clients.

You will be joining a dynamic and interdisciplinary team of scientists and engineers who love to tackle the most challenging computational problems for our clients. We love to think creatively, build applications efficiently, and collaborate in both the ideation of solutions and the pursuit of new opportunities. Many on our team have advanced academic degrees or equivalent experience in industry.

In Power & Utilities contexts, this includes working with business, IT, and operations leaders to translate regulated utility priorities—such as safety, reliability, affordability, and compliance—into scalable AI-enabled solutions.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Leading workstream delivery and ensuring the effective management of processes and projects.
• Continuously improving processes by identifying innovative solutions through research and analysis.
• Managing professional employees and supervising teams to deliver complex technical initiatives, with accountability for performance and results.
• Engaging actively with clients, participating in daily working sessions, and leading workstreams from planning through execution to closure.
