Capital Markets (Sales & Trading), Management Consulting, Sr Associate

At PwC, our people in finance consulting specialise in providing consulting services related to financial management and strategy. These individuals analyse client needs, develop financial solutions, and offer guidance and support to help clients optimise their financial performance, improve decision-making, and achieve their financial goals. In operating model and organisation design at PwC, you will focus on helping clients optimise their finance function and organisational structure. You will analyse current finance operating models, identify gaps and inefficiencies, and design and implement solutions to enhance finance processes, roles, and responsibilities. Working in this area, you will provide guidance on finance transformation initiatives, change management, and talent development to align the finance function with strategic objectives.

Focused on relationships, you are building meaningful client connections, and learning how to manage and inspire others. Navigating increasingly complex situations, you are growing your personal brand, deepening technical expertise and awareness of your strengths. You are expected to anticipate the needs of your teams and clients, and to deliver quality. Embracing increased ambiguity, you are comfortable when the path forward isn’t clear, you ask questions, and you use these moments as opportunities to grow.

Skills

• Respond effectively to the diverse perspectives, needs, and feelings of others.
• Use a broad range of tools, methodologies and techniques to generate new ideas and solve problems.
