About EY Sales Transformation

We are seeking an experienced and results-driven Senior Manager to join our Sales Transformation Practice within EY Studio+. In this role, you will work closely with client business teams across the end-to-end lead-to-cash lifecycle, helping organisations reimagine their sales strategy, operating model, processes, and technology to accelerate revenue growth and improve sales efficiency.

As part of our Sales Transformation team, you will apply your expertise across lead-to-order processes and broader commercial operations to deliver complex, high-impact client engagements. You will work at the intersection of strategy and execution, helping clients define customer segmentation, optimise sales coverage models, and design future-ready sales processes that enable successful technology implementation.

You will operate across a dynamic mix of transformation programmes, working with senior stakeholders to solve some of their most pressing growth and performance challenges. From shaping the future vision of sales to driving its practical delivery, you will play a key role in designing and implementing next-generation sales capabilities.

At EY Studio+, we combine deep industry expertise with leading-edge AI, data, and technology to unlock tangible commercial outcomes. This role offers a unique opportunity to not only imagine the future of sales, but to build it, delivering measurable impact for clients and shaping how organisations grow in an increasingly digital and data-driven world.

The Opportunity

As a Senior Manager in the Sales Transformation Practice within EY Studio+, you will play a pivotal leadership role in shaping, delivering, and scaling sales transformation programmes for some of the most complex organisations. You will work with senior client stakeholders across the end-to-end lead-to-cash lifecycle to define commercial strategy, redesign sales operating models, and implement next-generation sales capabilities that drive sustainable revenue growth and competitive advantage.

You will lead multidisciplinary teams, take ownership of large, high-value transformation programmes, and act as a trusted advisor to client executives. From defining customer segmentation and go-to-market strategies through to enabling technology-driven sales processes, you will ensure that vision is translated into tangible outcomes. You will also play a critical role in growing the practice, contributing to business development, shaping propositions, and strengthening our market presence.

This is a role for an individual who combines strategic clarity with hands-on delivery leadership, someone who can influence, challenge, and inspire at the most senior levels while driving delivery with pace and precision. You will be accountable for delivering measurable client impact, building high-performing teams, and embedding lasting change that enables organisations to transform how they sell and grow.
