Government & Infrastructure - Service Delivery Center- Consulting - Risk - Financial Risk, Financial Crime & Grants -Associate Analyst (Staff 1)

The opportunity

From strategy to execution, the Government & Infrastructure (G&I) practice of Ernst & Young LLP provides a full range of consulting and audit services to help our Federal, State, Local and Education clients implement new ideas to help achieve their mission outcomes. We deliver real change and measurable results through our diverse, high-performing teams, quality work at the highest professional standards, operational know-how from across our global organization, and creative and bold ideas that drive innovation. We enable our government clients to achieve their mission of protecting the nation and serving the people; increasing public safety; improving healthcare for our military, veterans and citizens; delivering essential public services; and helping those in need. EY is ready to help our government build a better working world.

The Service Delivery Center (SDC) is made up of high-performing, US-based resources who work closely with our experienced professionals to deliver project-based work and managed services to our government clients. The SDC is a core component of G&I. SDC Risk teams work hand in hand with client-site G&I Risk Consulting teams: consulting teams lead the client relationship and overall engagement, and SDC teams deliver repeatable, high-quality execution to agreed procedures, quality standards and service levels.

This role is part of the SDC Risk team aligned to our Financial Risk, Financial Crime & Grants team. The team carries out the recurring work behind government organizations' payment-integrity, fraud-prevention, financial crime compliance, financial-risk and grants programs at the federal, state and local level, including state-administered programs such as Medicaid, unemployment insurance and SNAP. This may include improper-payment testing and sampling; routine review of system-generated alerts within defined procedures; grants operations such as application intake support, recipient and subrecipient monitoring, and reporting on the EY Grants Accelerator platform or client grants systems; and recurring financial-risk and program-integrity metrics reporting.

In this position, you will support our clients' payment-integrity, fraud-prevention, financial crime compliance and grants initiatives by completing defined engagement tasks and managed-service activities under the guidance of experienced team members. You will receive training in established procedures, tools and quality standards while building foundational knowledge and hands-on experience. This is a delivery career path where you will have opportunities to build deep expertise and grow toward Analyst, Senior Analyst and other delivery or specialized roles.
