About The Role

Strategy& is PwC’s global strategy consulting business, as well as the only at-scale strategy business inside a professional services network. Strategy&'s unique combination of strategic expertise and scale provides outstanding opportunities for rapid professional growth. You'll be part of a global team solving challenging strategic problems for our clients through innovative ideas and thought leadership. In return, our culture gives you the opportunity to challenge conventional thinking and a tailored mentorship to help you develop and progress.

What Your Days Will Look Like

As a Strategy Consultant, you will work with leading corporate clients and investors, helping and supporting them tackle their toughest decisions. Your engagements will include a mix of corporate strategy (growth strategy, market entry, pricing, commercial excellence, product strategy) and transaction-related work (commercial due diligence and pre- and post-deal value creation). Your work will be varied, fast paced - no engagement is ever the same. In our Strategy team, you’ll be joining a market-leading and fast-growing team that works with leading businesses, private equity and venture capital investors, supporting them across the Deal cycle, from pre-deal to post-deal value creation.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
