The opportunity

The GDS Marketing Program Manager (Assistant Director) will help Brand, Marketing and Communications (BMC) program leaders and program managers bring external and/or internal marketing and event programs to life by understanding EY’s business and marketing strategies and transforming business priorities into world ‑ class execution and delivery.
