The Assurance Senior Manager leads complex audit and assurance engagements for major clients, overseeing planning, risk assessment, financial statement reviews, audit quality, budgets, and delivery. The role typically requires a professional accounting qualification such as ACCA, CPA, or CA, substantial external-audit experience, strong knowledge of IFRS and auditing standards, and proven people-management skills. Candidates should demonstrate sound commercial judgment, excellent communication, report-writing and presentation abilities, and the confidence to build trusted relationships with clients and regulators. Experience managing multiple engagements, coaching teams, identifying business risks, and supporting business development is expected. EY will also look for integrity, resilience, analytical thinking, attention to detail, and willingness to work flexibly during demanding reporting periods.
EY, formerly Ernst & Young, is a global professional-services organization providing assurance, consulting, strategy and transactions, and tax services.

EY Jamaica is part of the firm’s Caribbean network and serves local and international clients across industries including financial services, consumer products, government, energy, and telecommunications. The organization places strong emphasis on audit quality, independence, professional development, technology-enabled assurance, and creating long-term client value. Employees typically work in collaborative, multicultural teams and may gain exposure to regional engagements. An Assurance Senior Manager would normally combine technical audit leadership with client management, team development, commercial awareness, and responsibility for delivering high-quality engagements in accordance with professional and regulatory standards.
Jamaica offers opportunities in accounting, audit, banking, tourism, technology, logistics, business process outsourcing, construction, healthcare, and public services. Kingston is the main commercial center and home to many professional-services employers, while Montego Bay has strong tourism, hospitality, and BPO activity. Jamaican culture is celebrated for reggae, dancehall, food, cricket, warm hospitality, and a relaxed but energetic social life. The climate is tropical, with higher living costs in Kingston and resort areas; housing, commuting, and private healthcare should be budgeted carefully. Foreign nationals generally need a work permit before taking employment, usually supported by the employer, and should confirm requirements with Jamaica’s Passport, Immigration and Citizenship Agency. Relocating candidates should arrange valid travel documents, employment approval, housing, tax registration, and health insurance. English is the official business language, and regional travel links are widely available.
