The role

Over the last few years, we have been very proud of our track record of delivering large, complex, and brand-defining Finance transformations in Insurance Asset and Wealth Management. We have a long list of great in-flight programmes and an exciting pipeline of opportunities for our people to work with leading global and local brands.

At PwC, we recognize that our people are our greatest asset. We continually evolve ways of working to develop and retain the best talent. We invest in focused learning and development roadmaps for all our staff, with clear career paths and growth opportunities to reward success. We encourage a startup culture with a flat hierarchy, where we nurture bottom-up feedback and value diversity and inclusion.

We are looking for driven, entrepreneurial, high-achieving, and high-potential individuals to elevate our Finance and ERP Transformation Consulting practice. Currently, we have an opportunity for a Finance Process and Target Operating Model Business Architect at the Director level to join our team.

You will work closely with client-side finance leaders to assess current processes, identify optimization opportunities, and design and implement future-state solutions that align with digital, regulatory, and commercial requirements. As part of a cross-functional team, you will advise on modernizing finance operating models, standardizing core processes, improving control environments, and embedding enabling technologies such as ERP, RPA, AI, and analytics.

What your days will look like:

1. Resolving key design decisions focusing on wider business architecture and integration for our I&AWM clients.
2. Developing cost models for large-scale FT implementations and leading project analysis for transitions from current platforms to modernized cloud-architected platforms.
3. Developing project strategies to solve complex business challenges for our clients.
4. Architecting and innovating ahead of the delivery of IT solutions, leading UI strategies, and comparing technology options to maintain a ‘clean core’, focusing on SAP, Oracle, or Workday, with knowledge of surrounding technologies (e.g., actuarial, data platforms like AWS, Azure, Palantir).
5. Managing and nurturing client relationships, ensuring alignment with C-suite and key decision-makers, with a strong focus on business development targets.
6. Managing and delivering large projects by developing/mentoring project teams, assessing Business Architecture options, and managing engagement risks.
7. Shaping and delivering projects to meet and exceed client expectations and quality standards.
8. Influencing clients’ use of AI solutions (generative AI, agentic AI, etc.) as they evolve in the market.
9. Training, coaching, and supervising team members, especially in strategy and operating model sub-solution groups.
10. Participating in the leadership team that shapes the strategy and execution of our FT & ERP vision.

This role is for you if:

1. Strong understanding of Insurance Finance areas (covering finance, actuarial, finance operations, FP&A, consolidation, business performance). Optional: understanding of A&WM finance functions.
2. Deep understanding of core end-to-end finance processes (P2P, O2C, R2R, FP&A).
3. Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with process mapping and diagnostic capabilities (e.g., Lean, Six Sigma).
4. Solid grasp of financial reporting and controls, including familiarity with accounting principles (IFRS 17 / UK GAAP).
5. Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skills, from finance operations to CFO level.
6. Strong sales and project delivery experience, ideally in a consulting or transformation environment.
7. Strong understanding of how evolving tech (e.g., agentic AI) will reshape the Finance function and the ability to shape propositions to clients as they evolve.

Desirable Skills:

1. Experience working in or advising finance functions in large organizations and/or knowledge of finance technologies (e.g., Oracle Cloud, SAP S/4HANA, Workday Financials, Anaplan, BlackLine, Alteryx).
2. Experience with data and process mining tools (e.g., Celonis).
3. Exposure to change management frameworks (e.g., PROSCI).
4. Knowledge of shared services, GBS, or outsourcing models.

What you’ll receive from us:

We offer a range of benefits, including flexible working arrangements, private medical cover, 24/7 virtual GP access, volunteering days, and more. Our benefits are designed to support and recognize your contributions, regardless of your career or personal stage.
