In this role, you will work closely with client business teams across the end-to-end lead-to-cash lifecycle, helping organisations reimagine their sales strategy, operating model, processes, and technology to accelerate revenue growth and improve sales efficiency.
As part of our Sales Transformation team, you will apply your expertise across lead-to-order processes and broader commercial operations to deliver complex, high-impact client engagements. You will work at the intersection of strategy and execution, helping clients define customer segmentation, optimise sales coverage models, and design future-ready sales processes that enable successful technology implementation.
You will operate across a dynamic mix of transformation programmes, working with senior stakeholders to solve some of their most pressing growth and performance challenges. From shaping the future vision of sales to driving its practical delivery, you will play a key role in designing and implementing next-generation sales capabilities.
At EY Studio+, we combine deep industry expertise with leading-edge AI, data, and technology to unlock tangible commercial outcomes. This role offers a unique opportunity to not only imagine the future of sales, but to build it, delivering measurable impact for clients and shaping how organisations grow in an increasingly digital and data-driven world.
The Opportunity

This is a role for an individual who combines strategic clarity with hands-on delivery leadership, someone who can influence, challenge, and inspire at the most senior levels while driving delivery with pace and precision. You will be accountable for delivering measurable client impact, building high-performing teams, and embedding lasting change that enables organisations to transform how they sell and grow.
