Our work spans industries, with a significant focus on Government, retail and consumer, utilities, and technology businesses. We work closely with specialists across our breadth of technology abilities to help clients define their direction, make informed investment decisions, and deliver sustainable transformation.

This is a consulting role for someone who combines structured problem-solving, client engagement skills, and practical technology experience, and loves working at the intersection of business and technology, navigating ambiguity, developing evidence-based recommendations, and helping clients move from strategy through execution. Your role will include, but isn't limited to:

  • Work with clients to understand their business priorities, technology environments, operating challenges, and transformation objectives.
  • Apply structured, hypothesis-driven problem-solving to define issues, conduct research and interviews, analyze information, test options, and develop practical recommendations.
  • Gather and analyze qualitative and quantitative information, translating complex findings into clear insights, decisions, and actionable roadmaps.
  • Support projects involving technology and digital strategy, technology operating model design, system selection, process redesign, cloud transformation and migration, data and AI strategy, automation, digital enablement, and technology architecture.
  • Help clients identify, assess, and prioritize business and technology requirements, investments, capabilities, and initiatives.
  • Develop business cases, options analyses, financial or economic models, implementation roadmaps, executive presentations, written briefs, and other client deliverables.
  • Support the implementation of technology strategies and transformation initiatives, bringing together people, process, data, and technology considerations.
  • Build trusted and collaborative relationships with client stakeholders, PwC colleagues, and technical specialists.
  • Communicate complex ideas clearly through structured presentations, concise written materials, and effective client discussions.
  • Contribute to proposals, presentations, oral pitches, account activities, thought leadership, and other business development initiatives.
  • Work collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams, particularly with cloud, data, AI, digital, architecture, and implementation professionals.
  • Support the development of junior team members through coaching, knowledge sharing, and timely, constructive feedback.
  • Contribute to an inclusive, high-performing, and sustainable PwC team culture.


What You'll Bring
Your skills, knowledge, and experiences are what set you apart. Here's what we look for:

  • Previous consulting experience in a professional services firm, technology consultancy, or a highly consultative internal advisory environment.
  • Experience approaching complex problems through structured analysis, fact-finding, hypothesis development, stakeholder engagement, option assessment, and recommendation development.
  • Practical experience in technology strategy, technology transformation, technology advisory, digital transformation, or a related field.
  • Exposure to one or more relevant technology domains, such as cloud, data, artificial intelligence, GenAI, digital, infrastructure, technology architecture, automation, software delivery, architecture, or technology operations.
  • Experience contributing to projects such as technology or digital strategies, operating model design, system selection, process redesign, cloud transformation, data and AI strategy, business case development, or transformation planning.
  • Strong analytical and critical-thinking skills, with the ability to organize ambiguous information, identify key issues, and develop clear conclusions.
  • Strong business analysis skills and an understanding of how people, process, data, and technology contribute to successful transformation.
  • The ability to prepare clear, structured, and persuasive PowerPoint presentations, written briefs, reports, and other executive-level communications.
