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 on both outbound and inbound clients. Opportunities to travel to the US are expected.
We are looking for a Senior Manager with strong advisory and compliance-focused tax experience to primarily focus on Hedge Fund and inbound clients, from start-ups all the way through to global multi-PM and multi-strategy managers.
As a Senior Manager, you will have 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 tax technical skills in a stimulating and challenging environment.
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.
