• Coach, delegate to and support junior team members across advisory and

compliance work

• Leverage GenAI, digital tools, PwC methodologies and quality frameworks to

improve efficiency, consistency and client outcomes

• Manage and develop strong client relationships, acting as a trusted advisor

and identifying opportunities to support clients with employment

tax, reward and workforce-related tax issues

• Build your skills for the future and develop in a way that is meaningful for

you while working with clients across multiple industries
