The Opportunity: Data Enablement

At PwC, our people in data and analytics focus on leveraging data to drive insights and helping our clients make informed business decisions. A career in our Data Enablement practice, within Risk Services, will provide you with the opportunity to empower our business partners (external clients and other PwC operational units) to solve the problems that matter using data-driven insights. Being human-led, tech-powered, we put the right controls, processes, and structures in place, so our people and clients make confident, data-backed decisions to deliver on our promise of trust.

In this role, you will:

Assurance Development : Redefine how PwC delivers the audit of tomorrow by building a strong understanding of commonly used client information systems (ERPs) to develop automated solutions to problems encountered by existing engagement teams.

Specialised Assurance: Engage with clients in highly specialised assurance tasks, using advanced data analysis and automation to deliver results. Includes testing of key client reports, testing over client's ERP system conversions, creating Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) pipelines and developing solutions for industry specific assurance.

Data Analysis : Help clients manage their data better and feel confident that the information generated from their business data is reliable and can help them make the right business decisions using advanced data analysis techniques and capabilities.

Acquire Data: Work with clients to understand and set up and optimize the process to acquire comprehensive datasets used as the foundation of PwC's audits. This includes implementing the cutting-edge technology (such as PwC Extract) for data extraction and transformation to facilitate end to end automation.

With connectivity being a key enabler of our strategy, our objective is to become the most connected firm - connected to our clients, our communities and to each other.
