About the role
At PwC, our Customer team helps public sector clients improve access to and experience of essential services. We work across health, central government, local government, charities, arm’s-length bodies and wider public services, combining service design, customer operations, digital channels, contact centres and case management to improve outcomes for patients, citizens, residents, service users, supporters and staff.
Our delivery-focused work reflects the priorities of each sector. This may include improving patient access and care pathways; modernising high-volume citizen and resident services; translating policy into effective delivery; redesigning benefits, housing, regulatory, grants and funding processes; improving supporter and service-user journeys; and strengthening case management, digital platforms and operational flow.
This role suits a customer consulting professional ready to take greater ownership of project delivery in complex, regulated and multi-stakeholder environments. You will be comfortable applying your skills across different public service contexts and adapting your approach to the needs of each organisation and the people it serves.
Responsibilities
As a Senior Associate in this team, you will play a key role in project teams delivering client engagements. You will take ownership of defined workstreams and key deliverables, assist with project planning and coordination, and help ensure high-quality execution.
You will help clients diagnose issues, identify opportunities and deliver practical solutions. This may include analysing patient, citizen, resident, service-user and supporter journeys; reviewing operating models, processes, data and technology; facilitating workshops with policy, operational, digital, clinical and corporate stakeholders; and producing evidence-based recommendations and client-ready materials.
You will manage multiple priorities and maintain accountability for your deliverables, project timelines and stakeholder expectations. You will communicate effectively with client stakeholders, anticipate potential risks and escalate issues appropriately.
