Job Description & Summary
About this role
Our Reward & Employment team, part of PwC’s fast-growing People & Organisation practice, is looking for a Senior Manager to support clients across the employment tax spectrum. You’ll advise a wide range of national and global organisations on employment-related governance, risks and opportunities, helping them meet obligations while identifying practical improvements. This role brings together technical employment tax advice, client relationship management and project delivery across PAYE, NIC, benefits, reporting, compliance, HMRC engagement, CIS, pay governance and legislative change, including IR35. You’ll join a collaborative team focused on high-quality advice and commercially relevant solutions.
What your days will look like:
- Advise clients on PAYE and NIC matters, including payroll, expenses and benefits, year-end reporting such as PSA, Form 42 and P11Ds, and the tax or NIC treatment of non-cash remuneration.
- Support clients with HMRC investigations, compliance projects and large assignments where HMRC requirements must be met, liaising with tax authorities and helping clients manage enquiries effectively.
- Develop expenses and benefits policies and procedures, undertake due diligence to identify material unpaid tax or NIC exposures affecting transactions such as acquisitions or mergers, and provide practical recommendations.
- Consult on CIS, National Minimum and Living Wage regulations, holiday pay and wider pay governance, ensuring clients understand new legislation and its impact, including requirements arising from IR35.
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.
