As a BRIDGE team Senior Associate, you will manage a portfolio of relationship requests submitted by EY client teams and/or other internal business stakeholders pursuing a formal business relationship with a third-party supplier. The Senior Associate on the BRIDGE team can (1) review BRIDGE submissions, (2) support engagement teams by providing insight and analysis related to relationships with third-party suppliers, focusing on high priority and/or more complex matters and (3) work on special projects that require independence consideration. The individual in this role will be interpreting Q&RM policies, determining required actions and making recommendations based on firm guidance. The Senior Associate will analyze issues and produce deliverables to document the diligence with which such tasks were performed, as the work product for these individuals is subject to review and scrutiny by outside regulators.
Skills and attributes for success
- The BRIDGE team Senior Associate must apply judgment to initial consultations and/or submission review and rapidly develop understanding of key requirements of firm and regulator independence rules and policies.
- Make appropriate reference to existing policies; however, due to frequency of unique situations the Senior Associate will need to research issues and, through situation specific inquiries, propose solutions.
- The BRIDGE Senior Associate must know when to escalate matters and/or sensitive transactions requiring more experienced individuals to respond or process BRIDGE submissions, including interpretation of whether the submission and documentation appropriately convey the proposed business relationship and whether the proposed transaction adheres to the firm policies and guidelines.

- Able to independently exercise judgement to identify issues and know when to escalate matters, on a timely basis
- Excellent communications and client service skills
