Line of Service Advisory Industry/Sector Not Applicable Specialism Business Recovery Services Management Level Manager Job Description & Summary

About the Role

Organisations are facing increasing pressure to adapt amid economic volatility, geopolitical uncertainty, and intensifying competition. In response to growing client demand, we are expanding our TP&I team across our UK regional offices.

As a Manager, you will work with a diverse range of clients alongside leading practitioners across PwC, primarily within Deals. You will play a critical role across the end-to-end TP&I lifecycle—from diagnosing performance issues and identifying value opportunities, through to supporting and leading implementation.

This is a delivery-focused role. You will be expected to take ownership of workstreams, manage stakeholders, and ensure tangible, quantifiable benefits are realised for our clients. We pride ourselves on being a trusted, hands-on delivery partner, not just an advisory voice.

What your days will look like:

• Manage internal and external stakeholders, including senior client executives

• Provide sector and functional insight to operational transformation and value creation programmes

• Analyse complex financial and operational information to develop clear, actionable recommendations

• Conduct market, operational, and client analysis to identify performance improvement opportunities

• Perform cash flow and liquidity analysis, financial baselining, sensitivity analysis, and forecast reviews

• Prepare and deliver high-quality presentations and reports for senior stakeholders

• Build and maintain strong, trusted relationships with clients and colleagues across the Firm

• Leverage PwC’s broader capabilities to deliver integrated, high-impact solutions

• Lead, coach, and develop junior team members, fostering a high-performance culture

• Oversee project economics, governance, and delivery quality

• Support marketing, business development, and proposition development activities

​This role is for you if:

• Experience supporting clients through operational transformation or performance improvement initiatives

• Strong financial and operational analytics capability

• Knowledge of working capital management, supply chain optimisation, procurement, and debt management

• Experience managing complex change programmes and senior stakeholders

• Comfort operating in ambiguous, high-pressure environments with competing priorities

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including strong PowerPoint capability

• Proven experience leading, coaching, and developing teams

• Ability to leverage digital tools and data to enhance client delivery and insight

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.
