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
AI products and agents are only as useful as the knowledge they can reach, interpret, and trust. You will shape the shared foundation that connects enterprise information and expert know-how, giving teams current, permission-aware context with evidence that users can inspect.
This is a high-impact role at the intersection of information architecture, semantic systems, retrieval, data engineering, and AI product design. You will turn fragmented information into dependable organizational memory, prove difficult choices in working systems, and create reusable patterns that help teams build differentiated experiences without recreating context, provenance, and access controls for every use case.
About Challenger
Challenger is a new EY program focused on building the firm’s next generation of services. It pursues opportunities where AI enables a fundamentally different service and way of delivering it, including rethinking existing offerings and developing new ones.
Small, dedicated teams build and test ideas in real conditions. Solutions that demonstrate clear business value and operational readiness transition to the business for adoption and scale.
Challenger Core develops and maintains the shared technology, methods, and risk and quality guardrails that support this work. Each team contributes reusable tools and practices, helping make the next service faster and less costly to build.
Your key responsibilities
- Set the knowledge direction. Own the target architecture, roadmap, and decision principles for the knowledge, retrieval, and grounding capabilities used by AI products and agents.
- Design organizational memory. Create a federated approach that respects domain ownership while establishing shared meaning, durable interfaces, and clear lifecycle expectations.
- Translate business questions. Work with domain experts to define the concepts, relationships, and boundaries that AI systems need to interpret information accurately.
- Engineer trusted ingestion. Shape reusable patterns that bring varied sources into the platform while preserving authority, lineage, freshness, licensing, and uncertainty.
- Build effective retrieval. Combine search, semantic, graph, and structured methods based on the problem, making relevance, latency, cost, and explainability trade-offs visible.
- Make evidence inspectable. Ensure context includes citations, provenance, quality signals, and evaluation hooks so users and teams can understand why an answer should be trusted.
- Embed policy in the path. Partner with security, privacy, records, and legal teams to make permitted use, access, retention, and deletion requirements technically enforceable.
- Prove the architecture. Lead lighthouse implementations from prototype through production, using working systems to resolve choices and establish a credible path to scale.
- Operate and improve. Define service objectives, observability, incident learning, and quality measures that keep knowledge capabilities current and dependable after launch.
- Build shared capability. Create reference components and onboarding practices, mentor engineers and stewards, and guide cross-functional architecture decisions.
Skills and attributes for success
- Information architecture: Deep understanding of domain modeling, semantics, taxonomies, ontologies, knowledge graphs, and the judgment to choose the simplest durable approach.
- Retrieval expertise: Strong command of search relevance, hybrid retrieval, ranking, grounded generation, context design, and evaluation.
- Data engineering depth: Ability to design reliable pipelines and contracts across enterprise data, documents, events, and operational systems.
- Trust by design: Practical knowledge of provenance, quality, access, privacy, regional, retention, and lifecycle requirements in production systems.
- Product mindset: Ability to connect architecture choices to user outcomes, adoption, operability, and the economics of knowledge workloads.
- Influential leadership: Clear communication and facilitation skills, with the ability to align domain owners, engineers, risk teams, and senior leaders around complex trade-offs.
To qualify you must have
- Bachelor’s Degree in a relevant field of study.
- 9-12+ years of relevant experience.
- Relevant experience: Substantial experience in data, information, solution, or platform architecture, including ownership of production AI, search, or knowledge systems.
- Enterprise delivery: A record of delivering a shared knowledge, search, graph, or grounded-AI capability across varied sources and organizational boundaries.
- Hands-on technical depth: Practical fluency with semantic, graph, or retrieval technologies, strong SQL, and a general-purpose programming language.
- Data integration: Experience designing pipelines that connect analytical, document, event, and operational information with clear production controls.
- Policy-aware architecture: Evidence of implementing access, provenance, quality, and lifecycle controls through the production retrieval path.
- Architecture judgment: The ability to use prototypes and operational evidence to make sound trade-offs rather than defaulting to a particular vendor or pattern.
- Cross-functional leadership: Experience guiding complex decisions and raising engineering capability through influence, collaboration, and mentoring.
- Travel and On-site requirements: This role requires up to 50% travel and flexibility to go into the office in a hybrid capacity.
Ideally, you’ll also have
- Regulated environments: Delivery experience where residency, retention, confidentiality, or assurance requirements materially shape the architecture.
- Complex knowledge domains: Experience with multilingual or multimodal knowledge, large graphs or indexes, federated query, or fast-changing information.
- Production scale: Experience balancing relevance, freshness, latency, resilience, and cost for high-volume knowledge workloads.
- Evaluation expertise: Experience designing meaningful measures for retrieval quality, groundedness, citation accuracy, and authorization behavior.
- Industry contribution: Practical contributions to semantic, data, interoperability, AI operations, open-source, research, or standards communities.
We welcome exceptional candidates from product, service design, operations, transformation, policy, domain, and entrepreneurial backgrounds; no particular degree or certification is required.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Green Card Sponsorship as a Knowledge Manager
Map your degree to EB-2 or EB-3
Pull your credentials together before applying. EB-2 requires a master's degree or a bachelor's plus five years of progressive experience in knowledge management or a closely related field. EB-3 accepts a bachelor's degree alone, so know which category fits you before targeting roles.
Use O*NET to frame your specialty
O*NET lists knowledge management under information systems and organizational learning occupations. Employers writing the PERM job description must match duties to the prevailing wage category, so align your resume language to O*NET task descriptions to reduce PERM audit risk for the employer.
Search Migrate Mate for verified green card sponsors
Filter by Knowledge Manager roles on Migrate Mate to find employers with documented employment-based green card sponsorship history. Targeting employers who have completed PERM filings before cuts the time you spend vetting companies that have never navigated the process.
Check prevailing wages before salary negotiations
Run the OFLC Wage Search for your target metro area and SOC code before you negotiate an offer. Your employer must pay at or above the DOL-determined prevailing wage throughout the PERM and green card process, so knowing the floor protects you if the offer comes in low.
Ask employers about their PERM recruitment window
PERM requires the employer to run a full recruitment test proving no qualified U.S. workers are available. That process takes several months before the DOL application is even filed. Ask hiring managers whether they've started or completed PERM for this role to gauge how far along sponsorship actually is.
Protect your priority date if you change employers
Once your original I-140 is approved, your priority date can carry over to a new employer's I-140 in the same or similar occupation. If your I-485 has been pending 180 days or more, AC21 portability also allows you to change to a similar role without losing your place in the queue.
Green Card Knowledge Manager: Frequently Asked Questions
What green card category covers Knowledge Manager roles?
Most Knowledge Manager positions qualify under EB-2 for candidates with a master's degree or a bachelor's degree plus five years of progressive experience, or under EB-3 for professionals with a bachelor's degree. The employer's PERM job description determines which category applies, so the role's stated minimum requirements drive the classification, not your highest credential alone.
How does PERM labor certification work for this role?
PERM is a Department of Labor process requiring your employer to conduct a formal recruitment test to demonstrate no qualified U.S. workers are available for the Knowledge Manager position. The employer also obtains a prevailing wage determination from DOL. Only after PERM certification can the employer file the I-140 immigrant petition with USCIS. Unlike H-1B visa sponsorship, PERM is a permanent pathway with no annual renewal cycle.
How is green card sponsorship different from H-1B for Knowledge Managers?
H-1B provides temporary status in up to six-year increments and requires annual renewals tied to your employer. Green card sponsorship through EB-2 or EB-3 results in lawful permanent residence, with no renewal requirement and no employer-dependency after the green card is issued. The trade-off is timeline: PERM certification, the I-140 petition, and priority-date backlogs for nationals of high-demand countries like India and China can extend the total process significantly.
Where can I find Knowledge Manager jobs with green card sponsorship?
Migrate Mate lists employers with documented employment-based green card sponsorship history, searchable by role and location. Starting with employers who have completed PERM filings before is more efficient than approaching companies with no prior sponsorship experience, since Knowledge Manager PERM cases require specific recruitment steps and prevailing wage compliance the employer must already understand.
Can I change jobs while my green card application is pending?
Yes, under two distinct rules. If your I-485 has been pending 180 days or more, AC21 job portability lets you move to the same or a similar occupation without losing your place in the queue. Separately, once your original I-140 was approved, your priority date can carry over to a new employer's I-140 in the same or similar field, even if you change jobs before filing the I-485.
