Senior Manager - Healthcare Sector Strategy Consulting

Ernst & Young

Dubai, UAE

Ref: NP946-378

Job description / Role

Employment: Full Time

EY’s global Strategy business is a successful and fast growing strategy capability that advises the best known global and regional clients on their most complex strategic decisions. Our Strategy capability sits at the heart of EY’s global strategy, that has seen large investments over the last few years, including the acquisition of Parthenon, acquisition of OC&C’s Dutch and French businesses, and on-boarding of a large number of Direct Admit Partners from well-known strategy firms. The focus of the Strategy practice, also known as Parthenon-EY in many parts of the world, is to work closely with our clients to build investible and practical strategies that help them increase distance from their competition.

We currently have an opportunity for a Manager in our Strategy team in MENA. The Strategy practice focuses on helping clients in their strategic decisions such as portfolio and growth strategies for the regional family businesses; inbound entry/expansion decisions for global corporate clients; commercial/business due diligence for private equity and sovereign wealth funds and inbound corporate clients; evaluation of greenfield investment, partnership/JV/franchising, divestment and other such strategic decisions; and privatisation and corporatisation decisions for governments. EY’s Strategy consultants typically work directly with the C-Suite on their strategic and transaction decisions.

The Strategy practice’s growth strategy has sector specialism, accounts focus and aggressive relationship building as its three cornerstones. It is in the process of filling some gaps in its leadership team and looking to recruit high calibre, ambitious leaders for the following sectors in the MENA region:

Healthcare
The Strategy practice is housed inside our EY’s large Transactions Advisory Services (TAS) practice that focuses on advising clients on their capital agenda – investing, raising, preserving and optimising capital. TAS sources, designs, structures, evaluates and executes acquisition, investment, divestment, financing, privatisation, restructuring and listing decisions for our clients.

The role:
• Manage the delivery of client engagements across the region to a high standard while ensuring that quality of the client relationship moves to the next level during delivery.
• Assist in defining the objective and scope of client engagements and deliverables in consultation with the Engagement Leader and Partner.
• Design and execute analyses on clients’ problems and markets to validate key hypotheses. Design and facilitate in-depth interview programs with key company stakeholders (i.e., customers, suppliers, business partners). Manage engagements from initial data collection and analysis to creating final client deliverables that meet EY quality standards.
• Build and maintain relationships with client personnel at appropriate levels and other EY TAS teams on the engagement.
• Effectively support and motivate teams with diverse skills and backgrounds, while staying abreast of current business and industry trends.
• Use current technology and tools to enhance the effectiveness of services and help document the engagement procedures performed against objectives.
• Think like an entrepreneur and use creative techniques, analyses and presentations to answer clients’ most important questions.
• Support the CFS Sector Leader in building high quality client relationships, developing sharp points of view, developing winning proposals, and developing sector focused thought leadership.

To qualify, candidates must have:
• A bachelor's degree and approximately 5-6 years of related work experience; or a post-graduate degree and approximately 4-5 years of related work experience.
