    PwC background
    Full time
    Description
    Risk is a £500m business employing c.2,000 Partners and staff. It provides a range of services to help organisations navigate risk in increasingly complex operating environments.

    PwC's Business Partnering teams work hand-in-hand with our employees across the business, informing our leaders on the key decisions that drive the business forward, and shape their engagements.

    We entrust our Business Partnering teams to be proactive and honest, to build relationships and influence, to understand, challenge, and hold a mirror to the business, and to translate the numbers into a business story.

    To facilitate our exciting growth, PwC is evolving to future-proof our Business Partnering teams. To empower our people to focus more on insight, collaboration, and commerciality, we are placing new specialised lead roles within our Business Partnering teams, and refocusing the efforts of our core business partners. This refocusing is being accompanied by a renewed investment in technologies to drive our ways of working forward, freeing up time to let our people focus more on providing insights to people in the business, driving our growth agenda, and working together to solve complex challenges.

    We have invested in our Business Partnering career development framework for our associates and senior associates - a renewed way of working to provide our people with a breadth and depth of experience across Finance capabilities, and the opportunity to identify and develop in their areas of strength and interest, whilst still getting a full picture of the value Finance adds across the firm.
    Our framework means our teams can flex their capabilities to meet the various periodic demands of our Business Partnering team, gaining a wide perspective of the business in the process. PwC's career pathways and career development framework works with our associates to help them develop and visualise their future careers, as they are exposed to more responsibilities within Finance.
