The opportunity
EY’s Digital Risk practice is supporting leading Technology, Media & Telecommunications (TMT) companies as they scale cloud-native, AI-enabled, and platform-based operating models. Based in the Northeast Region, this role sits at the forefront of innovation, working with high-growth and global technology organizations operating on microservices architectures and AI-driven engineering environments.
We are seeking a Manager to support risk, compliance, and control transformation across highly automated and continuously evolving ecosystems. This role requires a combination of SOX knowledge, cloud architecture understanding, and familiarity with modern software development practices, including AI-assisted coding and product development lifecycles (PDLC/SDLC).
You will work closely with senior team members and client stakeholders, including finance, technology, and engineering teams, to support the design and implementation of scalable, audit-ready risk and compliance frameworks within complex technology environments.
Your key responsibilities
As a Manager in our Digital Risk practice, you will support the delivery of complex Digital Risk engagements, owning key workstreams and contributing to overall program execution across cloud-native environments. You will work closely with senior leadership and client stakeholders to drive risk and control initiatives within modern technology ecosystems.
In this role, you will:
- Execute and manage workstreams across cloud platforms, microservices architectures, and AI-enabled development environments, including risk assessments, control design, and testing activities
- Support client engagement teams by working directly with stakeholders (e.g., finance, IT, engineering) to deliver clear, actionable insights and recommendations
- Oversee day-to-day delivery, including coordination of team members, tracking progress, and ensuring quality and timeliness of deliverables
- Contribute to engagement performance, including resource management, status tracking, and supporting budgeting and forecasting activities
- Provide technical guidance within your areas of expertise, supporting team members on cloud, platform, and engineering risk considerations
- Design and evaluate controls across DevOps, CI/CD pipelines, SDLC/PDLC processes, and distributed platforms, including APIs, microservices, data environments, and AI-enabled systems
Skills and attributes for success
Demonstrate strong understanding of cloud-native architectures, distributed systems, and modern engineering practices, applying that knowledge to support the design and assessment of scalable control solutions.
Exhibit an AI-aware risk mindset, with the ability to identify risks introduced by AI-assisted development and automated engineering workflows. Demonstrate architecture fluency, interpreting system interactions and data flows to support control design and evaluation.
Build engineering credibility, partnering effectively with DevOps, platform, and data teams within complex environments. Apply your TMT industry knowledge to understand evolving risks within high-growth, technology-driven organizations.
Communicate clearly and effectively, translating technical risk concepts into practical business insights for client stakeholders while contributing to overall delivery quality.
Operate with attention to detail and accountability, managing competing priorities while contributing to high-quality outcomes and continuous improvement.
To qualify for the role you must have:
- A bachelor’s or master’s degree in business, accounting, computer science, engineering, or a related field
- A minimum of 5 years of experience in Digital Risk, IT risk, or technology consulting, with exposure to TMT sector clients
- Hands-on experience in cloud platforms (e.g., AWS), microservices architectures, DevOps/CI/CD, SDLC/PDLC, and distributed systems
- Experience supporting:
- IT general controls (ITGCs) and automated control environments
- Risk assessments, control testing, and control design activities
- Technology risk engagements within cloud-native or distributed environments
- Understanding of how regulatory and control frameworks (e.g., SOX, internal controls) apply within modern engineering environments
- Exposure to data platforms and AI-enabled development environments
- Willingness to travel at least 50%, including client-site travel. Flexibility to work extended hours as needed.
Ideally, you’ll also have:
Relevant certifications such as CPA, CISA, CISSP, CISM; cloud certifications (e.g., AWS) or AI-related certifications are a plus
What we look for
We’re looking for individuals who are comfortable operating at the intersection of risk, engineering, and technology, and who are motivated to build technical depth within modern, fast-evolving environments.
The right candidate will be able to work through complex problems, collaborate effectively with both technical teams and business stakeholders, and contribute to delivering clear, actionable insights.
A proactive mindset, strong attention to detail, and the ability to deliver high-quality, scalable solutions in fast-paced, high-growth environments will be key to success.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Risk Management Consultant
Verify your degree meets specialty occupation standards
USCIS requires your degree field to directly relate to risk management work. A finance, actuarial science, or business degree with a quantitative focus is the strongest credential. A general management degree may trigger an RFE without supporting coursework documentation.
Target employers with LCA filing history
Use the OFLC Wage Search to filter employers who have filed Labor Condition Applications for risk management or financial analyst roles. Repeat LCA filers signal an established H-1B sponsorship process, reducing the risk of an employer withdrawing support mid-application.
Search H-1B sponsoring employers on Migrate Mate
Migrate Mate filters Risk Management Consultant roles by employers with verified H-1B filing history, so you're not guessing about sponsorship willingness. Apply directly to roles where the employer has already navigated the LCA and petition process for comparable positions.
Confirm your role's SOC code before the LCA
Risk management roles often map to SOC 13-2099 or 13-1199 depending on the employer's framing. Confirm the O*NET classification your employer intends to use, since the prevailing wage level and USCIS specialty occupation analysis both depend on it.
Register in March to protect your lottery slot
USCIS opens H-1B cap registration in early March for a roughly two-week window. Your employer must submit your registration before the window closes. Missing it means waiting a full year, so confirm your employer's immigration counsel has the start date on their calendar.
Request premium processing if your start date is firm
Standard H-1B adjudication can run several months past the October 1 start date. Premium processing upgrades USCIS to a 15-business-day review window. For risk management consultants starting on client-facing project timelines, this eliminates authorization uncertainty.
H-1B Visa Risk Management Consultant: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Risk Management Consultant role qualify as an H-1B specialty occupation?
Yes. USCIS classifies risk management consulting as a specialty occupation when the position requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field such as finance, risk management, statistics, or actuarial science. Employers strengthen the petition by documenting that the specific duties, not just the job title, require that theoretical and practical application of a body of specialized knowledge.
Which industries sponsor H-1B visas most often for Risk Management Consultants?
Financial services firms, insurance carriers, management consulting firms, and large banks file the majority of H-1B petitions for risk management roles. Regulatory-heavy environments, including those subject to Basel III or Solvency II frameworks, tend to have active sponsorship pipelines because qualified candidates are in short supply domestically. You can find employers with documented filing history on Migrate Mate.
What prevailing wage level applies to Risk Management Consultant H-1B petitions?
DOL assigns prevailing wages by SOC code, employer location, and experience level. Most entry-level risk consulting roles land at Level I or II, while senior or specialized positions map to Level III or IV. Your employer files the LCA at or above the applicable level. Use the OFLC Wage Search to see current wage levels for your specific metro area before evaluating an offer.
Can I switch employers mid-year on an H-1B as a Risk Management Consultant?
Yes. H-1B portability under AC21 lets you change employers once your I-140 has been approved and your petition has been pending for 180 days, or if you're transferring to a new H-1B employer who files a cap-exempt transfer petition on your behalf. Your new employer must file a new I-129 before your current authorized period ends, and you can start working once the transfer petition is received by USCIS.
How do I find Risk Management Consultant jobs where the employer is already open to H-1B sponsorship?
Most job postings don't state sponsorship willingness explicitly, which wastes time on applications that go nowhere. Migrate Mate surfaces Risk Management Consultant roles specifically from employers with verified H-1B LCA filing history, so you can focus your search on companies that have already navigated the process for comparable positions rather than hoping an employer will sponsor after an offer is made.
