PwC Ireland: bring your talent, grow your skills, unlock your potential!
We are looking for energetic, enthusiastic and dedicated people to join our team, help us to deliver our services, and build a rewarding career.
At PwC, your professional progress is our priority. The work you do will be as varied and interesting as the clients you will work with. You can expect to work with the biggest brands in Irish and international business, building strong relationships and getting the chance to work alongside the best. We will match your curiosity with continuous learning opportunities.
Responsibilities include but are not limited to:
- Use feedback and reflection to develop self-awareness, personal strengths and address development areas.
- Delegate to others to provide stretch opportunities, coaching them to deliver results.
- Demonstrate critical thinking and the ability to bring order to unstructured problems.
- Use a broad range of tools and techniques to extract insights from current industry or sector trends.
- Review your work and that of others for quality, accuracy and relevance.
- Know how and when to use tools available for a given situation and can explain the reasons for this choice.

- Use straightforward communication, in a structured way, when influencing and connecting with others.
- Able to read situations and modify behaviour to build quality relationships.
- Uphold the firm's code of ethics and business conduct.
We look to develop accomplished all-round consultants, not just technically strong actuaries.

You will be able to build a strong professional profile both internally in PwC and externally in the insurance sector. You will be supported throughout your development with ample training and guidance from senior staff within the practice.

- An ability to build strong client relationships (internal or external) and an ability to communicate our analysis and insights to our clients in plain English.
- An ability to develop and mentor junior staff, including technical training and performance management.
- A desire to build out our propositions so that we meet a client need and develop a viable, commercial, professional service, offering in that space.
- Strong IT (e.g. MS Excel and Word) and actuarial modelling skills - we base our advice on our analytical abilities.
- Strong technical, problem identification, analytical and solutioning skills.
- Strong project management skills with the ability for quality delivery within timescales.
