EY Consulting Digital Engineering is seeking an accomplished Functional Manager – Tech-Driven Business Solutions to join our high-impact team. With 15-20 years of experience blending technical acumen, strategic solutioning, stakeholder engagement, and emerging technologies, you will lead the design, architecture, and delivery of cutting-edge digital platforms that enable intelligent, connected enterprises.

You will act as the strategic interface between business and technology—translating vision into scalable architectures across AI, IoT, Digital Twin, and Digital Thread ecosystems. This role is ideal for leaders ready to drive enterprise transformation through innovation, platform thinking, and business impact.

The Opportunity

You will shape intelligent solutions that solve complex business challenges while enabling long-term digital readiness. This is a unique opportunity for professionals with a foundation in delivery and architecture, and a mindset focused on continuous innovation, client value, and organizational growth.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Engage with internal and client stakeholders to define solution roadmaps, strategic outcomes, and business transformation goals.
• Translate high-level business objectives into actionable technical requirements and architectural blueprints for AI, Digital Twin, and IoT-based ecosystems.
• Lead end-to-end project lifecycle: estimation, sprint planning, solution design, development oversight, testing, and go-live.
• Architect and enable solutions that incorporate Digital Twin frameworks, Digital Thread integration, AI/ML pipelines, and real-time data flows for operational intelligence.
• Guide cross-functional engineering, data, and platform teams through agile delivery cycles.
• Serve as the client-facing anchor for solution storytelling, demo orchestration, and strategic alignment workshops.
• Develop go-to-market (GTM) strategies with marketing, sales, and pre-sales—framing offerings in terms of value, scalability, and business relevance.
• Identify opportunities to integrate GenAI, automation, and predictive intelligence into solution backbones to elevate business impact.
• Define and track success metrics (KPIs) post-deployment to ensure alignment with customer goals and business returns.
• Mentor high-performing teams and drive continuous learning in digital architecture, business communication, and delivery excellence.
• Create scalable patterns and reusable solution components for future business enablement and platformization.

Soft Skills

• Proven leadership and team-building capabilities, with a coaching mindset.
• Strong business storytelling and client communication skills—able to simplify technology to drive strategic buy-in.
• System-level thinking with the ability to balance tactical delivery with long-term vision.
• Confidence in engaging senior business and technology stakeholders in large-scale digital initiatives.

To Qualify for the Role, You Must Have

• A master’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 9–15 years of experience, with a strong foundation in digital solution delivery, enterprise technology, and client-facing engagements.
• Demonstrated experience in solution architecture, especially around Digital Twin, AI/ML, cloud-native platforms, and data-driven decision systems.
• Proven ability to translate business needs into technology strategies and manage full lifecycle project delivery.
• Strong understanding of cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, GCP) and connected ecosystems including IoT, Edge, and real-time processing.
• Experience in shaping GTM plans, technical proposals, and working with sales/pre-sales teams to close strategic deals.

Ideally, You’ll Also Have

• Industry experience in BFSI, healthcare, manufacturing, or retail where Digital Twin, AI, or IoT solutions have been successfully implemented.
• Hands-on exposure to delivery frameworks like Agile, SAFe, and tools like JIRA, Azure DevOps, or Confluence.
• Certifications in architecture frameworks (e.g., TOGAF), product ownership, or cloud platforms.
• Experience in business case creation, client workshops, and executive stakeholder management.
• A proven track record of driving digital transformation, innovation-led delivery, and organizational growth.
