    Business Consulting Remediation (BCR)

    Remediation is all about helping our clients fix issues that may mean their customers may not have been treated fairly. Our clients include the UK’s largest Banks, Insurance providers and Wealth managers, and within EY we have a dedicated team set up to help them identify and solve these problems. 

    The financial services industry is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority, who set the rules and expectations on firms. Remediation tends to be required when firms do not, or have not, met these standards. Our team works on a significant range of interesting and exciting projects covering insurance, investments, bank account charges, personal lending and many more. 

    Technology in BCR

    Our team uses a range of technology to help us quickly identify and fix our clients' areas of concern. We use machine learning and data analytics to investigate large sets of information before we review the results and understand how the findings can help our clients. We also use Robotic Process Automation to complete a number of minor tasks that take away the administrative burden, and allows our people to focus on the work that really matters.

    What will you be doing?

    • You could be helping clients identify if there is a problem that needs to be fixed (we call this the diagnosis phase). 
    • You'll be involved in the design and set-up of a new delivery team to help clients fix a problem when it has been identified (we call this the operational set-up phase). You will be helping design process and procedure documentation to make sure activities are completed in a controlled way. 
    • You'll be conducting the actual tests to understand whether a customer has been treated unfairly and to understand what the best result would be for them to remedy the situation (we call this the review phase). This may include reviewing historical information from the sale of financial products, undertaking quality check's of the work we do to ensure we are meeting that standards agree with our clients and, as you progress, you will get the chance to oversee and lead teams and work collaboratively with employees in our client teams, often working in mixed and diverse teams.
    • Are you eligible to apply?

      We operate an open access policy, meaning we don’t screen out applications on your academic performance alone.
