Job Description & Summary

Why PwC?

When you join PwC, you’ll bring your own ideas and insights to some of the world’s top brands. You’ll help them succeed in new ways. You’ll learn from the best in the business. And you’ll discover what a graduate programme can really do for you.

Strategy& can offer you a career with diverse and challenging assignments. Our teams work with a wide variety of Irish, European and Global corporate clients and investors. We deliver a mix of strategy consulting projects, addressing key CEO questions on issues such as growth strategy, market entry, mergers and acquisitions, value creation, economic impact assessments and ESG development.

What we look for

Our Graduates join us from a range of backgrounds, but all are intellectually curious and highly motivated. We also look for people who bring something more to our work than their academic credentials. For example, the self-discipline and team-working skills or leadership qualities gained through work experience. You have a strong academic record and good analytical and problem solving skills (minimum 2.1 degree or equivalent)

As a Graduate, you’ll be able to exercise commercial awareness, analytical and interpersonal skills in your day-to-day work. Over time, you’ll build the confidence and credibility to present your opinions to clients and senior stakeholders.

What to expect

We know that moving from university to the working world can be both exciting and scary. That’s why we’re here to support you every step of the way as you start your career with us. Our graduate programme gives you formal training and mentoring, as well as practical experience on the job. You will initially complete a comprehensive two weeks of training where you will get a strong understanding of the key skills required for the job, as well as getting to know your intake of other graduates in Strategy& and wider PwC Consulting. This will be followed up with regular training sessions over your career so you can continue to develop these skills.

After the initial two weeks training, you will immediately be immersed into the team and become a core part of project delivery teams. You will be responsible for delivering your own workstream on the project soon after settling into the team, while receiving support and guidance from the project team – ranging from Senior Associate up to Partner. From day 1, you will have the opportunity to contribute to discussions within internal meetings with senior team members, and will have your voice and opinions valued.

Typical Graduate responsibilities include:

Owning and delivering your own workstream, while receiving guidance and support from project team members.
Identifying relevant data sources and collecting, interpreting and analysing data to support delivery of the project outcomes.
Conducting interviews and deriving insight from qualitative inputs.
Presenting findings to team members, clients and other senior stakeholders.
All new joiners are each assigned a buddy who will be responsible for helping you settle in and be there to answer any questions you may have, as well as a career coach, who will serve as a mentor and support you to ensure you get the right projects and opportunities to develop and progress your career at Strategy&.

Some of the benefits you can expect from a PwC graduate programme:

Flexibility that lets you work in different ways and places, such as hybrid and flexible work options through our “Together Anywhere” policy which allows you to work abroad for a certain number of days. We offer hybrid working, but we ask that our people come together at least three days per week.
A competitive compensation package that not only rewards your impact but gives you the option to choose benefits that are important to you and your lifestyle.
Benefits that support your wellbeing, such as employee assistance program, onsite and virtual gym
Secondment opportunities where you can gain valuable international experience and learn from different cultures and markets.
As you grow and learn, you’ll get rewarded with grade and salary progression. You'll receive a competitive salary along with exam fees and exam support, recognition and other great perks as part of your total compensation package.
