About the role

The Deals AI Forward Deployed Engineer is a hands-on technologist positioned at the heart of PwC's market-leading Deals practice, a business that is fundamentally transforming how the firm and our clients navigate their most complex challenges. Embedded directly within Deal teams, this role is instrumental in rapidly designing, building, and deploying cutting-edge AI-driven solutions that are reshaping the transaction lifecycle, from due diligence and valuation through to integration, separation, and working directly with clients on agentic solutions throughout post-deal value creation.

What your days will look like:

• You will partner closely with deal professionals and sprint teams to identify opportunities where AI can unlock meaningful value for our clients.
• You will architect and deliver bespoke solutions, leveraging large language models, agentic AI frameworks, retrieval-augmented generation, and a broad suite of modern AI tooling, tailored to the specific demands of each transaction.
• You will be expected to work efficiently, iterating on prototypes and shipping working solutions within tight deal timescales, maintaining a strong drive to deliver results, where progress is measured by what you build and learn rather than what is discussed in meetings.
• You will also play a critical role in surfacing recurring patterns, workflows, and failure modes from the field, feeding those insights back into our broader Deals AI product roadmap and platform capabilities so that wins on one engagement scale across the practice

The role is for you if:

• You bring extensive experience in strategic advisory, with a proven ability to influence senior stakeholders and shape AI-driven approaches across complex deal environments.
• You have deep technical expertise spanning AI and software engineering — including proficiency in Python, large language models, agentic AI frameworks, and modern deployment practices — with a track record of architecting solutions that deliver measurable client value.
• You have built a strong professional network and communicate effectively across workstreams, teams, and senior stakeholders, translating complex technical concepts into clear, actionable insights.
• You are motivated by coaching, mentoring, and developing high-performing, diverse teams, fostering a culture of continuous learning, technical excellence, and collaborative problem-solving.
• You demonstrate increasing autonomy and sound judgement in navigating ambiguity, solving through complexity, and making pragmatic decisions under pressure within tight deal timescales.
• You are results-driven and client-focused, with the pragmatism to prove value early and the depth of understanding to ensure AI solutions address meaningful, real-world challenges.
