Careers at PwC

What we look for

The PwC Professional defines how we behave at PwC

We want to know more than “are you capable?” We want to understand how you lead and deliver, now and in the future. That’s where the PwC Professional comes in. It’s our global leadership framework that defines how we behave - together - and what we look for in our people.

The PwC Professional is built around two key dimensions

Trusted leadership

Behaviours that prioritise trust, courage and development. We want you to inspire others, act with integrity, stay curious through change, and grow confidently, so you can lead purposefully.

Distinctive outcomes

Behaviours rooted in quality, innovation and value. We look for people who bring thoughtful insight, push boundaries and deliver client experiences that stand out.

Whether you're just starting your career or already building it, think about how your experiences - academic, work, volunteering or beyond - demonstrate these elements of the PwC Professional.

Trusted leadership

Inspiring, collaborating with, and developing others

Our approach to leadership is grounded in trust and effectiveness. We encourage behaviors that foster long-lasting, impactful relationships. Being a trusted leader means being courageous in challenging times, prioritising honesty and objectivity, and embracing change with fresh perspectives and skills.

  • Self-reflection: Do you recognise your influence on others and how it affects their willingness to work alongside you? 
  • Coaching mindset: Are you committed to mentoring and collaborating with colleagues? 
  • Growth-oriented: Do you consistently seek new experiences and skills for professional growth?

Distinctive outcomes

Delivering excellence and differentiation

Our dedication to quality, expertise, and unique experiences leads to outcomes that truly stand out. We base our work on high standards and integrity, constantly pushing past old assumptions to uncover new opportunities. Our outcomes remain distinctive by inspiring confidence, welcoming innovation, and building trust.

  • Commitment to excellence: Are you committed to integrity, quality, and inclusive behavior in your work? 
  • Business insight: Do you apply a strategic business mindset and grasp the surrounding market dynamics? 
  • Team collaboration: Do you work collectively to deliver outstanding and distinct experiences for clients?

Our values

While we come from different backgrounds and cultures, our values are what we have in common. They describe the expectations our clients should have of us, describe how we work with each other, and hold us accountable to do our best. They guide our actions and enable our success.

Our five values set the context in which we strive to fulfil our purpose.

What do these values mean in practice? When working with our clients and colleagues to build trust in society and solve important problems, we:

Act with integrity

We expect and deliver the highest quality outcomes, speak up for what’s right, even in difficult situations, and make decisions as if our personal reputation is at stake.

Make a difference

We stay informed and respond with agility to the ever-changing business environment in which we operate—always looking to create a positive impact on our colleagues, clients and society.

Care

We aim to understand every individual and what matters to them, recognising each person’s value and contribution, while enabling them to grow in a way that brings out their best.

Work together

We collaborate, share ideas and integrate a diverse range of perspectives to improve ourselves and others.

Reimagine the possible

We empower innovation and challenge the status quo by keeping an open mind to the possibilities in every idea.
