Climate Change and Sustainability Services - Climate Risk Modeling Senior Manager

EY
Houston, TX
Location: Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Washington

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.

At EY, the Climate Change and Sustainability Services (CCaSS) team seeks to build a better working world by helping businesses and governments respond to societal, environmental, and economic challenges. We help businesses understand and evaluate the broader value impacts and outcomes associated with their organizations, operations, programs, and projects.

Our multidisciplinary team comprises strategists, accountants, engineers, data analysts, and many other technical experts united by the vision to build a better working world. Our teams help clients solve challenging ESG and climate change problems. Join us and help clients manage emerging risks and reduce costs by designing and implementing systems and processes to leverage opportunities in areas such as climate change, green and sustainable finance, health and safety, labor rights, nonfinancial reporting, supply chain, and environmental management.

The opportunity

Our CCaSS team is growing exponentially, and as a Senior Manager, you’ll play a key role in that growth. Working across all industries, you’ll develop your career by communicating creative, strategic goals both internally and externally. It’s all about listening to and understanding our clients to give them a truly exceptional experience in a field where there are no off-the-shelf recommendations.

Your key responsibilities

The nature of this role means no two projects will be the same. That means you’ll need to think on your feet and challenge existing practices to develop answers to complex issues. You’ll also be collaborating with a talented and diverse set of colleagues across multiple service lines, so we’ll look to you to build relationships and identify opportunities for our clients to benefit from our knowledge in other areas. Regular travel will be required as you will meet with key clients, some of whom are most respected in their fields.

Ideally, you’ll also have

A PHD in Climate Science, Physics, Environmental Economics, or related discipline

We’re interested in versatile people who can take on new responsibilities and listen to clients to get things done.
