Your new job | About your key responsibilities
Do you want to help build the insurer of the future? The insurance sector is on the brink of a fundamental transformation. Legacy core systems are making way for modern cloud platforms, AI is changing the way processes are executed, and customers expect a fully digital experience.

Hiring process
Shaping your future together with us? | About your application process
For this vacancy, we would like to receive only your CV. This makes it easy for you to apply quickly.
Our first contact and the first interview: after your application, our recruiter will call for an introductory interview. If the role is a good match, we will schedule a first interview with the recruiter and a colleague from the department. This is a mutual introduction.
After the first interview, we will ask you to complete an online assessment. Not a standard questionnaire, but a game-based one that looks at both your cognitive skills and your behavioral preferences. In the second interview, we will discuss the results together.
The second interview: If we see a match after the first interview and you are still enthusiastic, a second introduction will follow. In this interview, we will go deeper into the position and other relevant themes, and sometimes a business case is also part of the procedure. It may be that a final interview takes place.
We are a match. You will receive an offer from us and we will conduct a pre-employment screening. After that, your new challenge begins. Welcome to EY!
Feel free to apply, even if you do not meet all requirements (Dutch is a requirement, however)
