Job Description & Summary

PwC is growing, evolving, and shaping the future of professional services—our ability to maintain Independence has never been more critical. As we navigate acquisitions, regulatory shifts, and global expansion, the Independence Team sits at the very core of this transformation.

We are looking for a solutions-focused Manager who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys building relationships, and is excited to be at the forefront of change. If you're someone who balances strategic thinking with precision, is great with details, and can confidently liaise with individuals at all levels, this could be the perfect role for you.

What your days will look like:

  • Advising practice teams on independence requirements - helping them navigate regulations and structure services effectively.
  • Managing key independence processes ensuring seamless operational efficiency
  • Coaching junior team members - enhancing their knowledge, problem-solving abilities and soft skills
  • Working with and reporting to senior stakeholders across the firm and network
  • Supporting audit tenders and major transitions, advising on independence considerations during client rotations.
  • Collaborating with engagement teams across the firm, guiding them on non-audit services and technology tool permissibility

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.
