EY-Parthenon - Off-Cycle Strategy & Transactions

Job description

At EY, we’re 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.   

Are you ready to shape the future with confidence? 

The most exciting careers start with a challenge.

At EY-Parthenon, we work alongside CEOs, founders, private equity investors and executive teams to solve some of the most complex strategic and transaction-related questions organizations face today.

We are looking for exceptional students who are eager to learn fast, think critically, challenge themselves and make an impact from day one.

If you are in the final year of your degree and want to experience what it means to be part of one of the world's leading strategy and transactions practices, this program is for you.

The opportunity: Your next adventure awaits  

Our EY-Parthenon Off-cycle Program offers a unique opportunity to gain exposure to one of the areas of Strategy & Transactions while working as an intern on real projects with high-performing teams in our Barcelona office.

From your very first day, you will:

• Work alongside consultants, managers and partners on strategic and transactional projects.
• Contribute to analyses that influence key business decisions.
• Develop problem-solving, analytical and communication skills at an accelerated pace.
• Learn in an environment that combines intellectual rigor, collaboration and continuous feedback.
• Build a network of mentors and colleagues who will support your professional development.
• Have the ability to be hired if performed satisfactorily during the internship and be offered an indefinite contract and the possibility to participate in our EY-Parthenon Rotation Program.

This is not a traditional program.

It is an opportunity to discover your potential, explore different career paths and gain firsthand experience in a fast-paced, high-impact consulting environment.

Our 6 month off-cycle program offers you the opportunity to explore one of the fields in our strategy and transactions area:

• M&A: Helps enable strategic growth through better integrated and operationalized mergers and acquisitions.
• Project Finance & Modelling: Helps develop and review financial models for energy and infrastructure projects by assessing assumptions, risks, and outcomes to ensure the technical and financial consistency of the models. The main objective is to provide assurance to clients and investors throughout every stage of the project, from structuring to financial close.
• Valuations: Analyzing businesses for growth opportunities and helping them gain a competitive edge.
• Transaction Diligence: Helps clients in buying or selling businesses by analyzing financial, commercial, and operational data to identify risks, opportunities, and value drivers. They conduct financial due diligence, assess strategic aspects, and provide reports to help clients improve their negotiating position.
• Reestructuring & Debt: Supporting underperforming clients in achieving strategic turnarounds and adapting to changing economic conditions.
• ESG: Helps organizations address sustainability issues, investor concerns, support ESG reporting and disclosures, and improve ESG performance.
• Strategy and Execution: Support merger and acquisitions transactions by understanding clients’ strategic goals and applying creative thinking to help achieve successful outcomes.

Each team brings a different perspective, but all share the same goal: helping clients make better decisions and create long-term value.

What we look for:  

We are looking for outstanding individuals, not perfect résumés. You do not need to have all the answers. What matters most is your willingness to learn, grow and contribute.

We value intellectual curiosity, humility, ambition and a genuine desire to learn. Our best professionals are people who enjoy solving difficult problems, supporting their teammates and continuously pushing themselves beyond their comfort zone.

• 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 a team player. We’re looking for people who seek out and embrace diverse perspectives, who value differences, and team inclusively to build safety and trust.   
• Qualifications: We welcome last year’s students who are enrolled in degrees such as mathematics, physics, business & analytics, engineering. To ensure all candidates can fully participate in our program and workplace, we require evidence of proficiency in both written and spoken Spanish.

Why EY-Parthenon:  

• Accelerate your technical capabilities and transformative leadership skills with future-focused courses and development programs.  
• Broaden your horizons by working on highly integrated teams across the globe and collaborate with people of diverse backgrounds — both professionally and culturally.  
• Bring out the best in yourself with continuous investment in your personal well-being and career development.  
• Develop your own personal purpose and help us create a positive ripple effect on our teams, our business, clients and society.
