About the Role

Organisations are facing increasing pressure to adapt amid economic volatility, geopolitical uncertainty, and intensifying competition. In response to growing client demand, we are expanding our TP&I team across our UK regional offices.

As a Manager, you will work with a diverse range of clients alongside leading practitioners across PwC, primarily within Deals. You will play a critical role across the end-to-end TP&I lifecycle—from diagnosing performance issues and identifying value opportunities, through to supporting and leading implementation.

This is a delivery-focused role. You will be expected to take ownership of workstreams, manage stakeholders, and ensure tangible, quantifiable benefits are realised for our clients. We pride ourselves on being a trusted, hands-on delivery partner, not just an advisory voice.

What your days will look like

  • Manage internal and external stakeholders, including senior client executives
  • Provide sector and functional insight to operational transformation and value creation programmes
  • Analyse complex financial and operational information to develop clear, actionable recommendations
  • Conduct market, operational, and client analysis to identify performance improvement opportunities
  • Perform cash flow and liquidity analysis, financial baselining, sensitivity analysis, and forecast reviews
  • Prepare and deliver high-quality presentations and reports for senior stakeholders
  • Build and maintain strong, trusted relationships with clients and colleagues across the Firm
  • Leverage PwC’s broader capabilities to deliver integrated, high-impact solutions
  • Lead, coach, and develop junior team members, fostering a high-performance culture
  • Oversee project economics, governance, and delivery quality
  • Support marketing, business development, and proposition development activities

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.
