EY NextGen Women
Fast forward your career with EY NextGen Women – a global competition for women with the potential to have a fulfilling career in EY Strategy and Transactions.
If you could do something that matters, what would it be?
The EY NextGen Women in Strategy and Transactions competition allows talented women to fast forward their careers.
Are you part of the next generation of women in Strategy and Transactions?
We want to be inspired by women like you – purpose-driven women who challenge conventional ways of thinking, dare to ask questions, seek better answers and work to build a better world.
The EY NextGen Women in Strategy and Transactions competition aims to inspire the next generation of exceptional female talent to pursue an exciting and fulfilling career in Strategy and Transactions.
EY Strategy and Transactions helps enable clients to navigate complexity by reimagining their ecosystems, reshaping their portfolios and reinventing themselves for a better future. Bringing together a global ecosystem of world-class thinkers, EY teams help design and deliver real-world strategies for EY clients.
We hope to foster a community where women from varying backgrounds can learn, be challenged and develop relationships and skills that will last a lifetime.
Competition stages
The competition is split into three stages. Throughout, we will be looking for evidence of purpose and analytical strength – as well as the practical skills that will distinguish you in the competition.
Stage 1 – Application and Regional Final
Firstly, we will challenge you to answer one short answer question on the broader business environment and one question about building a better working world through video.
If your application is successful, you will be invited to participate in the Regional Finals. You will work as part of a team to analyse and present on a transactions case study to our EY judges.
Do well in Stage 1 and you will become a regional winner, rewarded with a paid internship in Strategy and Transactions and a trip to Sydney to compete in the Oceania competition.
In the event that the Oceania Final is unable to proceed face-to-face the format of the competition may need to be adapted to be conducted in a virtual setting. Applicants will receive updated communication closer to the time.
Stage 2 – Oceania Final
In the second stage, you will participate in individual and group activities and continue your journey of learning more about Strategy and Transactions. The Oceania winner will represent EY Oceania at the Global competition.
Stage 3 – Global competition
Taking place in late 2024, the successful Oceania winner will work closely with other finalists from across the world. You will be challenged with individual and group activites in front of EY leaders, clients and academia. At the global competition, finalists will attend an awards ceremony where the EY NextGen Women winning team and individual awards winners will be announced.*
*In the event that the Global Competition is unable to proceed face-to-face in Europe/ UK then the competition will be conducted in a virtual setting.

The EY NextGen Women competition is open to all female students residing in Australia or New Zealand who hold citizenship or permanent residency in the country they reside in.
