At EY, we’re all in to shape your future with confidence.
We’ll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go.
Join EY and help to build a better working world.
Disruption is changing the way the world works. It’s happening quickly and it creates opportunity if you can keep up and even get ahead of it. That’s why we established a dedicated Global Innovation team focused on understanding external forces changing our world and how to do things differently in 6 months, 3 years, 10 years and beyond.
In this shifting landscape, we challenge ourselves to embrace disruption and think differently for our clients. How? By combining the deep experience of our global Tax, Accounting, Advisory and Transactions professionals with start-up thinking. This approach applies an entirely new mindset for today's challenges.
Our global network of EY teams and innovation centers are creating powerful ideas and solutions for organizations and ourselves, especially around opportunities coming from artificial intelligence, blockchain, robotics and data and analytics.

At EY, you will help our clients, some of the most influential companies, explore emergent applications and transform the way the world does business.

Blockchain Technology is a complex emerging capability that is far from mature. Above and beyond any of the “essential” skills for this job, you must have a love of learning and experimentation with new technologies and a passion for learning by doing and leading by example.
This is not purely a management role. You will also be expected to have the technical skills and understanding necessary to be a thought-leader in the field and to make contributions as part of the R&D team.
Analytical/Decision Making Responsibilities:
- Lead by example promoting a proactive approach to identifying issues and presenting solutions and options, and where appropriate, leading to resolution.

- Create an inclusive and flexible environment where people feel they are a valuable part of the team, can communicate openly and constructively challenge one another.
- Ability to prioritize personal and team workloads to best meet organizational objectives.
- Provide leadership and direction. Empowered to make decisions and recommend approach based on the results from quality reviews.

- 10-15 years of technical work experience across various technical departments including proven experience in public blockchain development.
Other Requirements:
- We follow a hybrid work structure, and the resource is expected to work from the London office 2-3 days in a week. Travel to the office is not paid for and full-time remote is not offered.
- Occasional work-related travel to other locations.
Job Requirements:
Ideally, you’ll also have:
Passion for technology and applying it to business solutions with a strong interest in blockchain and associated concepts.
