Wealth management · Non-financial risk consulting

You lead teams that advise wealth and asset managers on the risks of handling digital assets, such as cryptocurrencies and tokenised funds, and design the controls to manage them. This is a manager seat in the Non-Financial Risk Consulting team, part of Financial Services Risk Consulting at EY. The non-financial risk in the team's name means the ways a business can lose money or break rules that have nothing to do with market prices or borrowers failing to pay. A system going down, a fraud, a lost wallet key or a breach of a regulator's rule all count.

Digital assets are assets recorded on a shared digital ledger, often a blockchain, rather than in a central register. Here tokenisation means issuing a traditional asset, such as a fund unit, in that form. A stablecoin is a digital coin designed to hold a steady value against a currency. A manager in consulting runs the day to day of a project, owns what is delivered to the client and looks after the more junior consultants doing the detailed work.
