Start your career at Strategy&, ​our strategy consulting team, and you’ll place yourself at the boardroom table, where the biggest decisions are made. We work alongside the world’s leading organisations, helping them to seize advantage and solve their most important challenges. Providing strategic guidance and insights across a broad range of sectors, we give leaders the clarity to make well-informed decisions about the future.​

It’s a career path with diverse and challenging assignments. Our teams work with a wide variety of UK, European and Global corporate clients (from large consumer goods companies, online retailers and FinTechs to charities, government departments and the public sector), as well as major investors (private equity and investment funds). ​

We deliver a mix of strategy consulting projects, addressing key issues such as human capital, growth strategy, market entry, mergers and acquisitions, and value creation. We evaluate each client’s unique proposition and market positioning, identifying innovative opportunities for growth, flagging risks and defining the technology, talent and skills they need for the future. ​

We analyse market trends, assess business performance and track candidate and consumer behaviours to get a complete picture of the situation.​

Next, we help our clients translate our insights into decisive action, developing recommendations that help clients achieve their goals by optimising operations and enhancing performance. To deliver, we combine our strategic advice with the broad capabilities of the PwC network, giving clients access to the expert guidance they need in every situation.​

By identifying where to invest and where to pull back, we help businesses to use their time, money and people more effectively. We encourage long-term vision, making our clients stronger and more resilient through sustainable and responsible decision-making. ​

Strategy& is a fast-paced and fascinating place to build your career. You’ll work in diverse teams, full of new ideas and fresh perspectives, using a blend of commercial, analytical and people skills to solve complex problems and unlock opportunities.​

You’ll provide clarity and direction​

Whether your client is a major corporation, a private equity firm or a charity, you’ll help them understand their current position, make the most of their opportunities and move forward with confidence.

You’ll answer the big questions​

You’ll collaborate with teams across PwC, drawing on their ideas and expertise to challenge conventional thinking and spark thoughtful debate. With an open ​
and entrepreneurial mindset, you’ll find fresher, ​smarter answers to our clients’ toughest problems.​

You’ll collaborate with all kinds of organisations and people. ​

You’ll work closely with clients on interesting and ​varied assignments across a broad range of sectors, organisations and projects. Each client’s situation ​is different, and our approach is always tailored to ​their needs, so you will gain a broad education ​across the commercial world. ​

  • You are intellectually curious and analytical.​
  • You are entrepreneurial and like to challenge conventional thinking.​
  • You make an impact by having the presence and confidence to influence others​.

Although there's no professional qualification as part of this category, your structured learning pathways will help you to build the critical technical and human skills you need to perform your role.
