About The Role

PwC’s Data & AI Consulting team is rapidly expanding as we invest in building a new generation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) products that transform how we deliver value to our clients. We’re recognised by industry analysts, such as Gartner and IDC, as a market-leading Data & AI services consultancy and are actively working with clients to design, develop and deliver AI-powered products and data capabilities that achieve tangible outcomes and business value.

We’re looking for self-starting, progressive, and inquisitive individuals who want to shape the future of how AI is applied in real business contexts. You’ll join a collaborative and entrepreneurial team that combines deep technical expertise with sector knowledge and product thinking. We work in cross-functional squads to design, build, and launch solutions that create measurable impact for our clients and strengthen PwC’s position as a leader in trusted, responsible AI.

If you want to apply your skills to complex challenges, help define new products, and be part of an ambitious team that’s re-imagining the role of AI in professional services, this could be the role for you.

What Your Days Will Look Like

  • Working as part of a cross-functional product squad - including AI Engineers, Product Designers, Data Scientists and Industry Sector Specialists - to launch and scale AI client solutions, from core data science products (e.g. pricing and forecasting) all the way through to Agentic AI
  • Designing and advising on the data science approach for your product, balancing rigour, interpretability, and scalability, and ensuring models are reusable across multiple client contexts
  • Partnering with sector and go-to-market teams and solution architects to identify client challenges, demonstrate product capabilities, gather feedback, and inform development priorities
  • Collaborating closely with engineers to productionise models on cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP) using MLOps and DevSecOps practices
  • Working with the Product owner to monitoring model performance and user feedback to continuously refine algorithms, enhance feature design, and improve product outcomes over time
  • Embedding responsible and explainable AI principles into development to ensure outputs are trusted, transparent, and compliant with PwC’s standards

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.
