We work hand in hand with other PwC Deals teams - Strategy, Financial Due Diligence, Regulatory, Legal and Tax - to give clients one coherent view and advice throughout the entire transaction lifecycle, often as part of international, cross-border deal teams.

We are looking for:

• Experience leading teams,
• Strong financial analysis skills, with a solid understanding of key financial and operational value drivers,
• The ability to quickly interpret large volumes of information and translate it into clear hypotheses and insights,
