Job Description & Summary

We’re looking for a curious and motivated Risk and Regulation Associate to join our team. You’ll work with experienced colleagues on real client challenges, build practical skills across risk, regulation and internal audit, and contribute to work that strengthens organisations and creates lasting value. From the outset, you’ll be encouraged to ask questions, share ideas and take ownership of your development in a supportive, collaborative environment.

A career in Risk and Regulation gives you insight into how organisations set objectives, respond to regulatory expectations, manage uncertainty and meet the needs of their stakeholders. We help clients understand the risks that matter most, strengthen governance and controls, improve resilience, and consider how culture and behaviours influence sustainable performance.

Depending on client needs and your development goals, you may gain experience across a range of engagements, including:

Fraud and forensic investigations,

Crisis management and operational resilience,

Enterprise Risk Management / Assessments

Internal Audits.

Your Mission

As an Associate, you will collaborate with colleagues who bring a range of consulting and industry experience. Together, you will help clients address complex business challenges, from strategy through to execution. Your responsibilities may include:

Taking ownership of assigned tasks across the planning, fieldwork and completion stages of engagements, with guidance from more experienced colleagues.

Contributing to audit projects and consulting engagements in line with established methodologies and quality standards.

Conducting interviews, analysing data and other evidence, documenting business processes, and identifying risks, control gaps and practical improvement opportunities.

Producing clear, accurate and well-structured deliverables, including working papers, data-informed insights, draft reports, presentations for management, boards and audit committees, and learning materials.

Developing your technical, digital and data-analysis capabilities, sharing what you learn, and contributing to the team’s methodologies and knowledge.

Building trusted and professional relationships with internal and client stakeholders by preparing for and contributing to meetings, interviews, workshops and learning sessions.

Collaborating with subject-matter specialists across PwC to bring relevant expertise to client work.

Staying informed about relevant local, regional and international business, regulatory and economic developments.

This is a client-facing role that combines structured analysis, teamwork and clear communication. You’ll balance several priorities and use technology to support your work and receive regular coaching as your responsibilities grow.

About You:

We’re looking for someone who has:

A relevant recognised university degree, or progress towards a relevant professional qualification such as ACCA or ACA.

Up to two years of relevant experience in risk-related services, such as internal audit, may be beneficial but is not required.

Curiosity, analytical thinking and attention to detail.

A willingness to learn about new business processes and industries, with support and guidance from the team.

A commitment to ongoing learning and development.

The ability to communicate clearly in written and spoken English with colleagues, clients and other stakeholders.

You will be supported to learn through engaging work, collaboration with colleagues and exposure to a diverse range of clients. Your perspectives and contributions will be valued in an environment that encourages curiosity, inclusive leadership and high-quality work.
