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
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 San Francisco, 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.

Search Senior Consultant Jobs in CaliforniaSenior Consultant Jobs in California: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies sponsor visas for senior consultants in California?
The largest sponsors for senior consultant roles in California include the Big Four accounting and advisory firms (Deloitte, PwC, EY, KPMG), global management consultancies (McKinsey, BCG, Bain, Accenture, Booz Allen Hamilton), and major technology companies that run internal consulting practices, such as IBM, Salesforce, and Oracle. Life sciences consultancies serving the San Diego and Bay Area biotech corridors also sponsor regularly.
Which visa types are most common for senior consultant roles in California?
The H-1B visa is the most common visa for senior consultants in California, as most roles require at least a bachelor's degree in a specific field, meeting the specialty occupation standard. Candidates with extraordinary recognition in their discipline may qualify for an O-1A. Senior consultants transferring within a multinational firm may be eligible for an L-1A or L-1B intracompany transferee visa depending on their role and tenure.
Which cities in California have the most senior consultant sponsorship jobs?
San Francisco and the broader Bay Area account for the highest concentration, driven by technology and venture-backed companies that rely heavily on strategy and management consulting. Los Angeles follows, with strong demand across entertainment, media, and financial services. San Diego is a growing market for life sciences and defense consulting. Sacramento has demand tied to government and public-sector advisory work.
How to find senior consultant visa sponsorship jobs in California?
Migrate Mate filters job listings specifically by visa sponsorship availability, so you can browse senior consultant roles in California without manually screening out employers who don't sponsor. The platform indexes positions across consulting firms, technology companies, and financial services employers throughout the Bay Area, Los Angeles, and San Diego, making it straightforward to identify active sponsoring employers in this role category.
Are there state-specific considerations for senior consultant visa sponsorship in California?
California's prevailing wage requirements under H-1B rules are set to reflect local labor market conditions, which means employers must meet Department of Labor wage levels specific to each metro area. The Bay Area and Los Angeles wage levels are among the highest in the country for senior consultant classifications. California's large university system (UC Berkeley, UCLA, USC) also creates strong pipelines of international graduates who pursue consulting roles and require H-1B sponsorship.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored senior consultant jobs in California?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
