Your team

As a Manager in PwC’s Cloud, Data & AI team, you will take a leading role in helping clients transform data into trusted, scalable, and business-critical assets. You will drive complex data management, governance, platform, and AI-readiness initiatives from strategy through execution, helping organisations build the foundations for better decisions, smarter operations, and sustainable digital growth.

You will work closely with senior client stakeholders, multidisciplinary PwC teams, and technology specialists to shape high-impact transformation programmes, translate ambition into pragmatic delivery, and create measurable value through modern data and AI capabilities.

Your Impact

Lead client engagements and delivery teams across data governance, data management, data quality, metadata, master data, data platform, and AI-readiness initiatives, ensuring strong outcomes, clear ownership, and high-quality execution.

Translate business priorities into practical data strategies and roadmaps that connect platform capabilities, governance structures, and measurable business value.

Design and implement scalable governance frameworks including decision forums, ownership models, policies, standards, controls, and adoption mechanisms that embed data accountability across the organisation.

Guide clients in modernising enterprise data platforms by shaping requirements, target architectures, delivery plans, and operating models for cloud-based analytics, automation, and AI use cases.

Lead the design and delivery of scalable data products, from business requirements and use-case prioritisation through solution design, data modelling, engineering coordination, testing, and adoption.

Manage stakeholders with confidence and credibility by facilitating workshops, aligning business and technology teams, resolving delivery challenges, and communicating complex topics in a clear and compelling way.

Develop high-impact client deliverables including maturity assessments, target operating models, implementation roadmaps, business cases, governance playbooks, platform blueprints, and executive presentations.

Drive business development and market growth by shaping propositions, developing proposals, contributing to RfP responses, supporting commercial discussions, and identifying opportunities to expand client relationships.

Coach and develop team members by providing guidance, feedback, and day-to-day leadership that strengthens delivery quality and builds the next generation of data and AI consultants.

Significant consulting experience in an international, client-facing environment, with a strong track record of managing workstreams or projects within data, technology, analytics, or digital transformation programmes.

Strong expertise in data management and governance including data quality, metadata, master data, lineage, ownership, stewardship, policies, controls, and operating model design.
