Director

At PwC, our people in finance consulting specialise in providing consulting services related to financial management and strategy. These individuals analyse client needs, develop financial solutions, and offer guidance and support to help clients optimise their financial performance, improve decision-making, and achieve their financial goals.

As a finance consulting generalist at PwC, you will possess a broad understanding of various aspects of finance consulting. Your work will involve providing comprehensive guidance and support to clients in optimising their financial performance, improving decision-making, and achieving their financial goals. You will be responsible for analysing client needs, developing financial solutions, and offering recommendations tailored to specific business requirements.

To sustain growth and broaden the I&AWM Finance Solutions business, we are seeking an experienced Director from the external market who can lead the full client lifecycle - originating opportunities, shaping the proposition and architecture, mobilising the right capabilities across PwC, and remaining accountable through delivery and value realisation. This is a senior market-facing role for someone who creates opportunities, builds trusted relationships and converts those relationships into high-value, multi-phase transformation programmes.

The Director will act as a Finance Business Architect: understanding the client business model and strategic agenda, translating this into an integrated Finance transformation response, and connecting functional depth with controls, technology, data and AI, organisation design and service delivery.

• Lead agentic process re-engineering across Finance: identify where AI agents, automation and human judgement should reshape end-to-end processes; define the required controls, data, roles and governance; and connect these changes into the wider enterprise architecture.
• Own the Finance Solutions demand into the Data and AI ecosystem, working with other areas of our business, hyperscalers, data platforms and frontier AI providers to develop Finance-specific propositions, reference architectures, use cases, assets and delivery patterns.
• Lead multi-tower Finance Transformation programmes across Insurance and Asset & Wealth Management, connecting R2R, P2P, O2C, Performance Management, Treasury and Tax with the wider enterprise transformation agenda.
• Bring deep understanding of insurer and asset / wealth management business models and value drivers, ensuring Finance transformation aligns to product, investments, actuarial, capital, risk, operations and technology change rather than being designed in isolation.
• Originate and expand C-suite relationships with CFOs, Finance Directors, Group Financial Controllers and transformation leaders, converting initial conversations into multi-phase, high-value programmes and new Finance Solutions revenue pools.
• Orchestrate the wider PwC ecosystem - including ERP practices, Cloud, Data & AI practices, specialist Finance technology, Workforce, Risk & Modelling and Tax - while retaining coherence of the Finance solution and accountability for the…
