About the employer

EY, formerly Ernst & Young, is a global professional services organization providing assurance, tax, consulting and strategy and transactions services. Its teams help businesses, governments and investors manage risk, improve performance, adopt technology and respond to changing markets. EY operates through offices and member firms in many countries, including Jamaica, and supports clients across financial services, consumer products, government, energy and other sectors. The organization also invests heavily in digital transformation, cybersecurity, cloud services, data and technology-enabled business solutions. In Jamaica, EY provides professional and shared services opportunities alongside client-facing work, offering employees exposure to international teams, structured processes and global technology platforms. Exact employment terms, benefits and responsibilities vary by local entity and the specific vacancy.

Working in Jamaica

Jamaica offers opportunities in technology support, business-process outsourcing, finance, accounting, tourism, logistics, healthcare, education and professional services. Kingston is the main business and technology hub, while Montego Bay has a strong tourism and services economy. Jamaican culture is known for reggae, dancehall, flavorful cuisine, cricket, athletics, community spirit and a relaxed but energetic social life. The lifestyle combines urban conveniences with beaches, mountains and outdoor activities, although traffic, utility reliability and housing costs should be considered. Foreign nationals generally need a work permit or appropriate employment authorization before taking a local job; the employer commonly supports the application. Entry, residency and permit rules depend on nationality and contract length, so applicants should confirm requirements with Jamaica's Passport, Immigration and Citizenship Agency and the employer. Relocating employees should budget for housing, transport, health insurance and document processing.
