Job Description & Summary

At PwC, our people in finance consulting specialise in providing consulting services related to financial management and strategy. These individuals analyse client needs, develop financial solutions, and offer guidance and support to help clients optimise their financial performance, improve decision‑making, and achieve their financial goals.

As a finance consulting generalist at PwC, you will possess a broad understanding of various aspects of finance consulting. Your work will involve providing comprehensive guidance and support to clients in optimising their financial performance, improving decision‑making, and achieving their financial goals. You will be responsible for analysing client needs, developing financial solutions, and offering recommendations tailored to specific business requirements.

About the role

Imagine helping some of the world’s most complex organisations reinvent how they plan, budget and forecast — and doing it with the most exciting planning platform in the SAP ecosystem. As a Manager in our Finance Solutions – EPM team, part of the Digital Core Modernisation practice, you’ll be a lead specialist on high‑profile SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) Planning programmes, guiding finance functions through the design and deployment of intelligent, high‑performance planning solutions.

This is a role for an EPM/FP&A practitioner who loves the craft of finance transformation and wants to lead from the front — shaping solutions, advising senior Finance and IT stakeholders, and orchestrating mixed onshore/offshore teams. You’ll sit at the intersection of finance, data and AI, with the chance to actively build your expertise in Gen AI and Agentic AI as those capabilities become embedded in the way we plan.

If you’re energised by solving real finance problems with great technology — and want to be part of a team that’s setting the pace in the market — we’d love to hear from you.

What your days will look like:

• Leading the design and delivery of complex SAC Planning implementations, translating FP&A requirements into elegant, scalable solutions.
• Running business requirement definition workshops with senior Finance stakeholders — challenging thinking, shaping the target operating model and bringing planning processes to life.
• Designing FP&A processes across revenue, workforce, OpEx/CapEx, cash flow forecasting and management reporting.
• Architecting SAC Planning within the wider finance landscape, defining integration with SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC), SAP Datasphere, S/4HANA and hyperscaler platforms such as Microsoft Azure, AWS or Google Cloud.
• Bringing the latest SAC and SAP AI capabilities into your designs — Compass, Smart Predict, Joule and emerging agentic AI patterns.
• Leading mixed onshore/offshore delivery teams, mentoring consultants and growing the next generation of SAC/EPM talent.
• Acting as a trusted advisor to senior client stakeholders, contributing to proposals and helping shape our go-to-market.

This role is for you if:

• Deep, hands‑on experience designing and delivering SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) Planning solutions for large, complex organisations — including planning models, data actions, allocations, multi actions, value driver trees, stories and analytic applications.
• A strong FP&A and EPM background, with proven experience designing end‑to‑end planning, budgeting and forecasting processes — revenue, workforce, OpEx/CapEx, cash flow and management reporting.
• A track record of leading business requirement definition with senior Finance stakeholders, translating business needs into platform capabilities and challenging thinking where it matters.
• A business and finance process‑oriented mindset that brings technology, data and finance together with confidence.
• Outstanding communication skills and the ability to influence in complex, multi‑stakeholder environments.

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.
