About the role:

PwC’s Data & AI Consulting team is rapidly expanding as we invest in building a new generation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) products that transform how we deliver value to our clients. We’re recognised by industry analysts, such as Gartner and IDC, as a market-leading Data & AI services consultancy and are actively working with clients to design, develop and deliver AI-powered products and data capabilities that achieve tangible outcomes and business value.

We’re looking for self-starting, progressive, and inquisitive individuals who want to shape the future of how AI is applied in real business contexts. You’ll join a collaborative and entrepreneurial team that combines deep technical expertise with sector knowledge and product thinking. We work in cross-functional squads to design, build, and launch solutions that create measurable impact for our clients and strengthen PwC’s position as a leader in trusted, responsible AI.

If you want to apply your skills to complex challenges, help define new products, and be part of an ambitious team that’s re-imagining the role of AI in professional services, this could be the role for you.

What your days will look like:

  • Working as part of a cross-functional product squad - including AI Engineers, Product Designers, Data Scientists and Industry Sector Specialists - to launch and scale AI client solutions, from core data science products (e.g. pricing and forecasting) all the way through to Agentic AI

  • Designing and advising on the data science approach for your product, balancing rigour, interpretability, and scalability, and ensuring models are reusable across multiple client contexts

  • Partnering with sector and go-to-market teams and solution architects to identify client challenges, demonstrate product capabilities, gather feedback, and inform development priorities

  • Collaborating closely with engineers to productionise models on cloud platforms (Azure, AWS, or GCP) using MLOps and DevSecOps practices

  • Working with the Product owner to monitoring model performance and user feedback to continuously refine algorithms, enhance feature design, and improve product outcomes over time

  • Embedding responsible and explainable AI principles into development to ensure outputs are trusted, transparent, and compliant with PwC’s standards

This role is for you if:

  • Practical experience across the data science lifecycle - from feature engineering and model design to validation, deployment, and monitoring;

  • Fluency in Python, SQL, or similar programming languages;

  • Experience using deep learning frameworks such as TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch, or MXNet;

  • Familiarity with Agile and DevSecOps practices, including use of Git for version control;

  • Exposure to cloud environments (Azure, AWS or GCP) and a desire to build solutions that scale;

  • The ability to explain complex data concepts clearly to technical and non-technical audiences, with strong data storytelling and visualisation skills;

  • Intellectual curiosity with a disciplined, hypothesis-led approach - validating, challenging, and refining your outputs to ensure analytical rigour and business relevance

  • Commercial curiosity and the desire to understand how analytics drives business outcomes;

  • A collaborative mindset - you enjoy working in diverse, cross-functional teams that have a blend of onshore and offshore resources

What you’ll receive from us:

No matter where you may be in your career or personal life, our benefits are designed to add value and support, recognising and rewarding you fairly for your contributions.

We offer a range of benefits including empowered flexibility and a working week split between office, home and client site; private medical cover and 24/7 access to a qualified virtual GP; six volunteering days a year and much more.
