In a fast-changing and uncertain world, the right insights make the difference between seizing an opportunity and missing it entirely. EY Knowledge helps EY to win in the market by providing the right insights at the right time through an agile, client-first organization.

This Analyst position will see you provide deep insights and perspectives on the Insurance sector to EY leadership, participate in client meetings and external events to strengthen EY’s presence and reputation in the market, and mentor more junior analysts to develop their commercial and analytical skills. Focus areas will include either Sustainability, Finance Transformation (IFRS17+), or Embedded insurance.

The opportunity:
EY recognizes the power of knowledge to anticipate change, unlock value and drive growth. As a Insurance Industry Analyst, you will provide powerful insight to EY's Financial Services leaders and practitioners related to their external market positioning and client service. You will combine strong analytical skills and a strategic mindset with real-world perspectives driven by an understanding of client issues and broader marketplace drivers. You will have a key role to connect and collaborate across our global network of Knowledge Analysts along with our Industries and Service Lines business network to further strengthen the quality of your insights.

Your key responsibilities include:

• Engaging with and challenging EY senior leadership to provide commercial and provocative perspectives on the issues, challenges and opportunities facing our clients in the industry
• Co-creating insights beyond publicly available information, interacting with EY leaders and external networks to build proprietary data sets and evidence for differentiated points of view
• Leading/contributing to multidisciplinary teams for delivery of strategic and complex projects, often working virtually across industries, service lines and geographies

Skills and attributes for success:
As a trend-watcher for the Insurance Industry, you will harness a natural curiosity about business models and emerging themes that are reshaping the Insurance sector to curate and co-create insights that empower our clients to act decisively.
We know it takes specialist skills to gather, generate and analyse a rich pool of information and turn it into powerful insights that give clear future-facing directions. You will be known for translating your big picture thinking and ability to explain complex concepts into crisp, clear, concise and graphic-rich communications, using appropriate analytics and visualization tools.

To qualify for the role, you must:

• Have 5+ years experience in researching trends in the Insurance industry (Life and Non-Life)
• Expertise in at least one of the priority Insurance focus areas of Sustainability, Finance Transformation (IFRS17+), or Embedded insurance
• Have deep analytic capabilities leveraged, including surveying and data storytelling, in support of EY’s Insurance thought leadership agenda
• Have strong commercial acumen, able to connect client business issues with EY solutions
• Have experience in interacting with senior business leaders, leading conversations, and offering differentiating perspectives
• Have a proven ability to deliver succinct and structured oral and written communications
