About the Role

This role is for a high-performing Senior Consultant within EY's Financial Services Risk Consulting team, focusing on digital assets within Wealth and Asset Management. The position involves advising clients on navigating the evolving digital asset landscape, designing and implementing robust risk and control frameworks for emerging products and services, and working at the intersection of innovation and risk.

Responsibilities

  • Advise clients on non-financial risk frameworks for digital assets, including governance, risk taxonomies, and control environments.
  • Support the design and implementation of risk and control frameworks across digital asset lifecycle processes (issuance, trading, custody, settlement, and reporting) with a specific focus on distribution, product governance and fund operations.
  • Assess and enhance digital asset process flows, identifying key risks and defining indicative controls.
  • Evaluate and map client journeys across digital asset use cases, such as tokenisation of assets and funds, investing in digital assets and cryptocurrencies, and stablecoin payments and settlements.
  • Advise on operating models and target control environments for digital asset use cases for wealth and asset managers.
  • Conduct risk assessments across different participants (e.g., asset manager vs. transfer agent vs. custodian), highlighting how risks and controls vary.
  • Support clients in interpreting and implementing global regulatory requirements related to digital assets.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (technology, regulatory, compliance) to deliver holistic client solutions.

Requirements

  • Strong wealth/asset management knowledge (inc. buy/sell-side processes).
  • Strong understanding of the digital assets ecosystem, including cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and tokenised assets, and blockchain fundamentals and distributed ledger technologies.
  • Experience designing or assessing risk taxonomies and control frameworks for digital assets.
  • Knowledge of end-to-end digital asset process flows, including trading and execution, custody and wallet management, settlement and reconciliation, and lifecycle management.
  • Understanding of key risks (operational, technology, fraud, regulatory, market, liquidity) and associated controls.
  • Experience mapping and analysing client journeys and operating models in financial services.
  • Familiarity with global digital asset regulations and frameworks, including UK FSMA 2023 and FCA guidance, GENIUS Act (or equivalent emerging US regulatory frameworks), HKMA guidance on virtual assets, MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation), and other relevant regional and global regulatory developments.
  • Ability to translate regulatory expectations into practical control and governance solutions.
