About the employer

EY, formerly Ernst & Young, is a global professional services organization providing assurance, tax, consulting, and strategy and transactions services. Its teams support businesses, governments, and investors with digital transformation, technology implementation, cybersecurity, risk management, finance, and organizational change. EY operates in more than 150 countries and combines international resources with local market knowledge. EY Cyprus serves clients across sectors including financial services, technology, consumer products, energy, and public services, with offices and professional teams supporting both local and international organizations. The company invests heavily in cloud, data, artificial intelligence, automation, and modern software engineering. Employees typically work in collaborative, client-facing environments and may have opportunities to contribute to regional or global projects. Benefits and working arrangements vary by position, seniority, and local employment terms.

Working in Cyprus

Cyprus offers a warm Mediterranean lifestyle, English-friendly business environment, and growing opportunities in technology, financial services, consulting, shipping, tourism, and fintech. Nicosia is the main professional and government center, while Limassol has a strong international business and technology community. The island combines historic towns, beaches, mountain villages, and an active outdoor culture. Living costs are generally lower than in many major Western European cities, although rents in Limassol and central Nicosia can be high. EU and EEA citizens can work after completing local registration requirements. Non-EU nationals normally need an employer-sponsored work and residence permit before starting employment; eligibility depends on the role, salary, and immigration rules. Cyprus also has separate residence options, such as a digital nomad scheme, but these do not automatically authorize local employment. Candidates should confirm visa, tax, healthcare, and relocation details with EY and Cypriot authorities.
