Hi,
Saw an interesting opportunity at EY - Future Sector Strategist. Is this a knowledge track role (not client-facing)? Does anyone know more about the work, growth opportunities, WLB etc.?
Thanks!

Hi there,
It's rather a client-facing role.
Just to make sure you understand the job description fully, reach out to the recruiter to discuss it. Have your CV handy so you can already align with them on the call about whether the role is relevant for you. If yes, it would be worth also covering the recruitment process for the role.
Best,
Cristian
hi there
Yes, roles like "Future Sector Strategist" at EY are typically part of the internal strategy or thought leadership teams, so more knowledge-focused than client-facing. You’d likely work on market trends, innovation, and sector insights to support client teams or leadership. These roles can offer great exposure, especially in shaping firm-wide perspectives, but they’re not usually on a partner track like traditional consulting roles.
Growth can still be solid, especially toward roles in strategy, innovation, or even external-facing work later. WLB is generally better than in client delivery roles, though it can depend a bit on the team and region.
Best,
Alessa :-)
Hi,
EY website states that “As a Future Sector Strategist at EY, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of various industries by leveraging your deep sector knowledge and creative thinking. You will be responsible for analyzing current trends, envisioning future scenarios, and communicating these insights effectively to clients and stakeholders.”
So yes. Check out the job description if if further questions appear, feel free to reach out to HR.
Good luck!
Mari
Yes, it's client facing. The job description on EY's career portal confirms as much.
As Cristian suggested, definitely worth discussing with your recruiter. Also, see if you can find anyone in your personal/alumni network who might be able to share additional insight with you.
