Job Description & Summary
About the role
PwC's Alternative Investment Funds (AIF) team sits within our wider Financial Services Tax team. 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 Senior Manager 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 and Directors 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
- The alternative investment funds industry is dynamic, technically demanding and offers opportunities to work on large complex international projects as well as interesting UK tax matters.
- You will be responsible for managing a portfolio of clients and advising on a broad range of issues covering the manager/advisor, the fund, the fund executives, the investors, the investments and tax reporting.
- You will work closely with other parts of the business, including the wider Financial Services Tax team and Deals tax and international PwC member firms.
- You will manage client teams and will coach and support junior members of the team, encouraging everyone to have a voice and inviting opinions from all.
- You will contribute to the growth of the team, through developing junior members of the team and through contributing to marketing activities and thought leadership.
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.
