At EY, we are all in to shape your future with confidence.

We'll help you succeed in a globally connected powerhouse of diverse teams and take your career wherever you want it to go. Join EY and help to build a better working world.

Our clients operate in a complex and highly regulated Life Sciences environment where innovation, operational excellence, and patient safety are equally critical. EY's Life Sciences Risk Consulting team supports biotechnology, pharmaceutical, medical device, and medical technology organizations as they modernize laboratory and quality operations while managing regulatory risk and accelerating business performance.

As a Manager within EY's Life Sciences Transformation practice, you will play a critical role in delivering laboratory transformation initiatives for Life Sciences clients across R&D, quality control, and manufacturing environments. You will focus on helping clients modernize laboratory operations through digital enablement, operating model redesign, and system implementations, while ensuring solutions are fit for purpose in regulated environments.

You will work as part of integrated engagement teams, leading discrete workstreams and serving as a key day-to-day client contact. This role is laboratory-first, with quality, regulatory, and validation considerations embedded to enable compliant, scalable, and sustainable lab operations rather than serving as the primary focus.

Key areas of emphasis include digital laboratory modernization, LIMS and laboratory platform implementations, laboratory process and operating model design, and integration of lab data and systems across the product lifecycle.

As a Manager, you will be responsible for workstream leadership, delivery execution, and team management, including:

• Leading laboratory transformation workstreams, including digital lab modernization initiatives, LIMS implementations, and laboratory operating model and process redesign across R&D, QC, and manufacturing labs
• Translating client objectives into detailed delivery plans, requirements, and execution roadmaps focused on laboratory operations and technology enablement
• Managing day-to-day delivery across lab-focused workstreams, ensuring timelines, scope, and quality expectations are met
• Integrating quality, regulatory, and computer systems validation considerations into laboratory solutions in partnership with SMEs, ensuring solutions are compliant without over-engineering
• Serving as a primary client contact at the manager and director level, facilitating working sessions, status updates, and issue resolution
• Leading and coaching consultants and senior consultants, providing direction, feedback, and development support
• Supporting business development and account activities, including proposal development, client presentations, and contribution to laboratory transformation offerings and assets

• Proven experience leading laboratory-focused transformation workstreams in Life Sciences environments
• Strong understanding of laboratory operations, lab workflows, and digital lab technologies (e.g., LIMS, LES, ELN, lab data platforms)
• Working knowledge of quality, regulatory, and validation requirements as they apply to laboratory systems and processes
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills, with the ability to bridge lab, IT, and business stakeholders
• Experience managing delivery risk, dependencies, and trade-offs within complex programs
• Ability to balance innovation, usability, and compliance in GxP-regulated laboratory environments
• Commitment to developing junior team members and contributing to a collaborative team culture
• Curiosity and interest in emerging laboratory technologies and trends within Life Sciences

• A bachelor's or master's degree in Life Sciences, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
• 5+ years of Life Sciences experience, with a strong emphasis on laboratory operations, lab systems, or lab transformation initiatives
• 3+ years of experience leading project workstreams or components of larger programs in consulting or industry
• Hands-on experience with laboratory systems (e.g., LIMS, ELN, LES) and/or lab data and integration platforms
• Foundational knowledge of computer systems validation, data integrity, and regulatory expectations for laboratory environments

• Experience supporting global Life Sciences organizations across R&D, QC, or manufacturing laboratories
• Exposure to proposal development, internal asset creation, or offering development related to laboratory transformation
• Experience mentoring consultants or senior consultants
• Willingness to travel up to 40%, based on client needs

We're looking for senior leaders who can help Life Sciences organizations modernize laboratories, strengthen quality capabilities, and navigate regulatory complexity—all while enabling innovation and measurable business value. If you thrive at the intersection of strategy, technology, and compliance, this role offers the opportunity to make a lasting impact.

At EY, we'll develop you with future-focused skills and equip you with world-class experiences. We'll empower you in a flexible environment, and fuel you and your extraordinary talents in a diverse and inclusive culture of globally connected teams. Learnmore.
