About the role
PwC's Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) team sits within our wider Financial Services Tax practice.
The team consists of specialists focusing on assisting alternative investment fund managers with a range of services across their business, covering the manager, the key people, the funds, investors and investments.
Whilst the team is UK based, the nature of the AIF industry means that a large amount of our work is international meaning there are many opportunities to work with the wider PwC AIF network.
As a Director you will work as part of a team to provide excellent quality advisory and compliance services to a high-profile portfolio of both UK and multinational clients. You will have the opportunity to work on a range of AIF clients, covering strategies including Private Equity, Private Credit, Infrastructure, Hedge Funds, and Real Estate.
You will be given the opportunity to develop your skills, drive your ambition and work with experienced Partners across the team. The team will provide you with the opportunity to put into practice your technical skills in a stimulating and challenging environment.
What your days will look like:
As a Director in PwC’s Alternative Investment Funds (“AIF”) team you will be expected to:
- Lead on a mix of tax advisory and compliance projects in the AIF space
- Develop relationships with existing and new clients
- Play an active role in developing and supporting the culture of the team
- Support the team to disrupt, improve, and evolve ways of working when necessary (particularly with respect to delivery of advisory and compliance engagements)
- Contribute to thought leadership on technical and market matters. Identify gaps in the market and spot opportunities to create value propositions
- Effectively collaborate with the wider business (including within Financial Services and Deals Tax) to bring the best of PwC to our clients
- Look for opportunities to scale efficiencies and new ways of working across multiple projects and environments
- Create an environment where people and technology thrive together to accomplish more than they could apart
- Uphold the firm’s code of ethics and business conduct
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.
