The opportunity: your next adventure awaits

Business Consulting

Locations Available: Dublin (GFS & All-Industry), Cork (All-Industry Only)

In Business Consulting, we deliver long-term value to our clients by transforming organisations through the power of exceptional skills, insights, talent and experiences.

We help define client strategies, deliver end to end transformation for our clients and provide a full suite of services throughout their transformation lifecycle.

Through a comprehensive range of services designed to enhance business performance and achieve strategic objectives, we support clients by developing effective and innovative strategies, optimising operations, reducing costs and driving digital transformation.

We have a number of specialised teams across our Business Consulting practice including Business Transformation, Finance Transformation, Customer Transformation, and Supply Chain and Operations (UKI).

What we look for:

• You have an agile, growth-oriented mindset. What you know matters. But the right mindset is just as important in determining success. We’re looking for people who are innovative, can work in an agile way and keep pace with a rapidly changing world.

• You are curious and purpose driven. We’re looking for people who see opportunities instead of challenges, who ask better questions to seek better answers.

• You are inclusive. We’re looking for people who seek out and embrace diverse perspectives, who value differences, and team inclusively to build safety and trust.

• You have excellent communication skills and can clearly articulate your ideas, designs, and suggestions.

• Qualifications: We welcome graduates from all backgrounds and disciplines who are on track to achieve a 2:1 or higher in their degree. English is the business language of our firm. To ensure all candidates can fully participate in our programmes and workplace, we require evidence of proficiency in both written and spoken English.

What to expect:

• Day One: Your EY journey starts with a dynamic induction alongside interns from across Ireland. From day one, you’ll have a dedicated buddy to guide you, answer questions, and help you feel at home. We’ll make sure you’re set up for success from the start.

• Your Role: You won’t just observe—you’ll contribute. Expect real projects, real clients, and real impact. You’ll sharpen your analytical and problem-solving skills, learn to collaborate effectively, and build relationships that last. Plus, you’ll gain confidence in leading and managing tasks while exploring your preferred sector or beyond.

• Balance & Wellbeing: We know life isn’t all work. That’s why we’ve built in wellbeing sessions on mental health, time management, and presentation skills. And because connection matters, you’ll enjoy social events and networking opportunities with colleagues and fellow interns.

• Get to know EY: Dive deep into our world. Explore Assurance, Tax, Consulting, EY-Parthenon and more. Learn how we innovate and embed sustainability in everything we do. By the end of the summer, you’ll know where your future could take you.

• Compensation: This is a fully paid internship with a competitive salary. You’ll work as part of EY like a full-time employee—and be rewarded accordingly.

• Your Future: Perform well, and you’ll be invited to a conversion interview for a graduate role. Many interns go on to join EY full-time. This is your first step towards a career that matters.
