Industry/Sector: Not Applicable

Time Type: Full time

Travel Requirements: Not Specified

At PwC, our people in risk and compliance focus on maintaining regulatory compliance and managing risks for clients, providing advice, and solutions. They help organisations navigate complex regulatory landscapes and enhance their internal controls to mitigate risks effectively.

Those in enterprise risk management at PwC will focus on identifying and mitigating potential risks that could impact an organisation's operations and objectives. You will be responsible for developing business strategies to effectively manage and navigate risks in a rapidly changing business environment.

Growing as a strategic advisor, you leverage your influence, expertise, and network to deliver quality results. You motivate and coach others, coming together to solve complex problems. As you increase in autonomy, you apply sound judgment, recognising when to take action and when to escalate. You are expected to solve through complexity, ask thoughtful questions, and clearly communicate how things fit together. Your ability to develop and sustain high performing, diverse, and inclusive teams, and your commitment to excellence, contributes to the success of our Firm.

Examples of the skills, knowledge, and experiences you need to lead and deliver value at this level include but are not limited to:

  • Juris Doctorate degree preferred

  • Leading the substantive negotiation of complex commercial contracts;

  • Reviewing and redlining detailed risk, legal, and commercial contract terms;

  • Understanding of managed services offerings and related contract terms and conditions, performance metrics, and experience with (1) finance managed services - payroll, accounting, reporting, treasury and broader finance and accounting operations, (2) technology managed services - IT infrastructure, cloud, data analytics, application delivery maintenance application managed services, (3) cyber managed services, or (4) risk & regulatory managed services - regulatory compliance and enterprise risk programs;

  • Exercising an entrepreneurial, problem-solving mentality and autonomy in managing contract negotiations;?

  • Explaining contract terms and positions in a collaborative manner to both internal stakeholders and external contract parties;?

  • Driving process improvement by analyzing current contracting approaches and processes and improving contracting efficiency and overall experience
