About the role

As part of the team you’ll continue to build your tax technical skills as you work with a variety of clients across all business sectors, whilst at the same time have the opportunity to develop your operational consulting and technology skills as you support clients in how they deal with the day to day practicalities of meeting the requirements of an increasingly complex legal and regulatory landscape.
At PwC you will experience unparalleled opportunities to develop your career, build your skills and experience working on complex and challenging assignments. If you are ready to accelerate your career in indirect tax then this is the opportunity for you.
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.
