Our aim is to create a superior customer experience alongside operational excellence that delivers efficient, quality services and solutions. You will work with technologists and business experts to meet the increasing pace of our business. That means growth for you, exciting learning opportunities, and the chance to make a real impact.

As the Change Community Network & Training Manager, you will play a crucial role in driving awareness and best practices for technology products, enhancing the ways of working for colleagues across the organization and developing and implementing training programs to ensure the successful adoption of new services and technologies within the organization (primarily M365, Security, Mobile and AI such as M365 Copilot).
This includes creating training materials, scheduling and promoting training sessions, delivering sessions, and measuring and reporting the effectiveness of training programs. You will also lead the network in:

• raising local awareness and adoption

This is a unique opportunity to be at the forefront of technological adoption and innovation within EY. AI has become an indispensable partner in our daily routines, and you will play a crucial role in the adoption of AI within our organization.
