Job description

At PwC, our people in brand management, marketing, and sales focus on collaboration to develop and execute strategic sales and marketing initiatives. These individuals aim to drive revenue growth, promote the firm's services, enhance brand visibility, and capture new business opportunities. They utilize market research, digital marketing, creative campaigns, and effective sales strategies to engage clients, enhance the firm's market presence, and achieve organizational targets.

Those in business development at PwC focus on identifying and pursuing new opportunities to drive growth and expand the firm's client base. Their work involves building relationships, conducting market research, and developing strategic plans to drive revenue and meet business objectives.

Focusing on relationships, you will build meaningful client connections and learn how to manage and inspire others. Navigating increasingly complex situations, you will grow your personal brand, deepen technical expertise, and become aware of your strengths.

• Respond effectively to diverse perspectives, needs, and feelings of others.

• Develop a deeper understanding of the business context and its changing landscape.
• Use reflection to develop self-awareness, enhance strengths, and address development areas.
• Interpret data to inform insights and recommendations.
• Uphold and reinforce professional and technical standards, including PwC tax and audit guidance, the firm's code of conduct, and independence requirements.

Purpose of Job

Generate and implement innovative ideas and solutions within your area of responsibility in collaboration with team members to enhance service offerings.
