Job Description & Summary
A career in our fast-paced Deal Analytics practice, a business unit within the PwC deals platform, will provide you with the opportunity to work with top private equity and corporate clients across all sectors on complex and dynamic multi-billion dollar decisions.

The PwC Deal Analytics practice is a blend of deals and consulting professionals with a diverse set of skills and backgrounds including financial, commercial, operational and data science. We support private equity and corporate clients across all phases of the deal lifecycle including diligence, post-deal and preparation for exit / divestiture. Our data-driven approach delivers insights in diligence at deal speed, works with clients to improve performance post-deal and brings a commercial insights lens through the use of third party and alternative data to help inform decisions.

As part of the Deals Analytics Center of Excellence (DA CoE), you will:

• Act as a change agent to drive the digitization agenda within Deals (both from an Analytic and Generative AI (“GenAI”) perspective).
• Raise awareness of Global Deals digital use-cases and serve as a bridge to the firm's Digital office, including GenAI use cases.
• Collaborate with Learning & Development teams and the Global Deals Analytics community to curate bespoke development and upskilling programs.
• Enhance advanced analytics capabilities and stay connected with network firms to leverage knowledge and best practices.

This role offers exciting responsibilities and opportunities for growth. Candidates should confidently identify with the following skills:

• Experience in strategy, management consulting, corporate finance, or accounting.

• Attention to detail to reconcile results.
• Ability to translate business needs into technical requirements and vice versa.

• Curiosity and articulation to build rapport with clients.
• Comfort in working directly with partner/executive-level audiences.
• Ability to guide and coach junior and senior consultants.

As a Manager, you'll work as part of a team of problem solvers, helping to solve complex business issues from strategy to execution. PwC Professional skills and responsibilities for this management level include but are not limited to:

• Pursue opportunities to develop existing and new skills outside of comfort zone.
• Act to resolve issues which prevent effective team working, even during times of change and uncertainty.
• Coach others and encourage them to take ownership of their development.
• Analyse complex ideas or proposals and build a range of meaningful recommendations.
• Use multiple sources of information including broader stakeholder views to develop solutions and recommendations.
• Address sub-standard work or work that does not meet firm's/client's expectations.
• Develop a perspective on key global trends, including globalisation, and how they impact the firm and our clients.
• Manage a variety of viewpoints to build consensus and create positive outcomes for all parties.
• Focus on building trusted relationships.
• Uphold the firm's code of ethics and business conduct.

• Degree in Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Business Administration, Data Science, Economics, or a related field. Advanced degrees (MBA, Master's in Data Science) are a plus.
• At least 5 years of experience in data analytics, M&A, strategy, management consulting, or a related field.
• Proficiency in data analytics tools such as Alteryx and Power BI, including advanced DAX.
• Strong knowledge of Microsoft Suite (Excel, PowerPoint, etc.).
• Familiarity with programming languages such as Python, R, and SQL is advantageous.
• Demonstrable experience in having developed strong commercial awareness to analyze business context and performance and understand key business drivers.

• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Excellent organizational and time management skills.
• Ability to be accurate and detail-oriented in all tasks.
• Ability to work well with others and independently when needed.

The technologies we use day-in and day-out include Alteryx, Power BI (including advanced DAX), Power Query and Power Pivot. Possession of other languages, such as but not limited to Python, R, and SQL, is advantageous as the DA CoE looks to expand its capabilities toward Advanced Analytics.
