The opportunity
We’re hiring a Manager (Banking, Customer /Business Transformation) in Tashkent.
As a Manager, you own delivery end‑to‑end - turning complex problems into actionable solutions and driving them through to real impact. You lead project teams, control scope, timelines, and quality, and stay close to every key decision.
At the same time, you are the face of the project for the client - running discussions, challenging thinking, aligning stakeholders, and driving tangible progress and outcomes.
Beyond delivery, you contribute to business development by supporting proposal development, participating in client pitches, and identifying opportunities to deepen client relationships.
You are also expected to actively contribute to the growth of the practice - sharing knowledge, developing team members, and fostering collaboration in line with EY values.

- Structure complex business problems and translate strategy into actionable roadmaps and implementation plans
- Design and implement target operating models, management reporting frameworks (e.g., VBM, profitability analytics, FTP, cost allocation), and performance management systems (KPIs, management P&L)
- Redesign branch network operating models and customer journeys, and optimize front-to-back banking processes
