Business Valuations Assistant Director

at  EY

THE OPPORTUNITY

EY’s Valuation, Modelling and Economics (VME) team is a fully integrated group of c.200 professionals providing valuation and financial modelling services to our clients. We work with many of the largest blue-chip corporates across a diverse range of industry sectors, providing insights and quality services to help build trust and confidence in capital markets and economies across the globe.
Value is not purely driven by financial performance. With stakeholders increasingly focussed on sustainability, the ability of a company to articulate their value proposition to consumers, employees, governments, and wider society is paramount.
We are seeking to recruit an Assistant Director to grow our strategic valuations capability, focussed on the Energy Transition and Sustainability. The work will centre around strategic valuation analysis but will also encompass more general valuation services for our clients.
You’ll be a part of an integrated VME team that combines the power of macro-economic forecasting and analytics with a deep understanding of value to help inform our client’s strategic decisions and quantify and support the value created within their business.
