We currently have a vacancy for a Financial Services Operations and/or IT specialist to work on fast-paced and often high-profile merger and acquisition (M&A) projects, as part of our market-leading Delivering Deal Value (DDV) team. This role offers the chance to develop your career in the stimulating, challenging and supportive environment within PwC’s highly regarded consulting practice.

The DDV team consists of C.100 consultants, of which C.20 specialise in financial services.

We recruit proactively from industry, consulting, private equity and audit to create a great blend of experience on each project. This blend of backgrounds helps us learn from each other and stay at the top of the market delivering fantastic results for our clients on landmark deals.

About the role

You will identify, plan, shape and support the creation of lasting value for our financial services and private equity clients as they undergo mergers, acquisitions and disposals. We work across the deal life cycle, from identifying value creation opportunities and conducting due diligence, to executing carve out and integration programs, realising synergies and creating value for our clients.

A career in the DDV team is a unique and rewarding challenge. The work is at the front of our client’s strategic agenda, often complex and done under tight deadlines. As a result, there are extraordinary opportunities for personal growth, learning new skills and career development.

Whilst the team is London based, deal activity is global, therefore projects can involve travel at short notice.

Your responsibilities

As a Manager, you will work as part of a team of problem solvers with extensive consulting and industry experience, helping our clients solve their complex business issues from strategy to execution.

The Manager role is a leadership role at project level. As such, you will be expected to take on a leading role on engagements and management of project team members within 6-12 months and contribute to business development efforts where possible alongside your project responsibilities.

Specific responsibilities include but are not limited to:

There are plenty of opportunities to build your personal and professional networks. Consulting is a relationship industry after all. We have weekly team newsletters, monthly team meetings and monthly socials, together with an annual away day. The team is a collaborative and supportive environment with lots of chances to socialise across our team and the wider business.

Who we are looking for- Professional experience

• Experience of working in a consulting role in financial services, or a transformation role in industry, ideally banking or insurance
• Experienced in M&A, synergy, integration and/or carve-out, and/or on change projects, restructuring or business improvement
• Demonstrated ability to quickly assess the performance of a business (or elements of it) and outline improvement opportunities based upon limited information and/or interactions with senior management
• Ability to quickly understand large amounts of information and draw out hypotheses and key messages
• Extensive experience around IT and operational analysis to understand business processes, their associated costs and potential issues as well as opportunities for improvement
• The ability to understand the impact of IT on commercial, financial and operational aspects of a business, ideally in the context of a transaction
• Awareness of common IT application systems and infrastructure in one or more financial services sub-sectors
• Knowledge of the key issues and challenges currently facing the financial services sector

Also -

• We work hard together, so we hire people who treat their colleagues well, who are not hierarchical and enjoy creating a happy culture even when under pressure
• Extremely comfortable around C-suite or senior stakeholders, as most of our work is done at this level; you don’t need to be an extrovert, but confidence definitely helps
• Comfortable with uncertainty and ambiguity in a project environment, and excited by the idea that you may not know what country you will be in next week
• Extremely handy with Excel and PowerPoint. Much of our work involves detailed analysis and report writing, so it is critical you can work with these tools
• Naturally curious; we love people who can apply logic and problem solving to difficult business problems

Nice to have

• MBA or other business management qualification
• Other post-graduate or accounting qualifications are welcome
