PwC
Chicago, IL

At PwC, our people in Corporate Technology Strategy consulting focus on providing strategic guidance and insights to organisations. They analyse market trends, assess business performance, and develop recommendations to help clients achieve their goals. These individuals work closely with clients to identify opportunities for growth, optimise operations, and enhance overall business performance. In technology strategy at PwC, you will specialise in developing and implementing strategic plans to leverage technology for business growth and innovation. You will analyse market trends, assess organisational needs, and provide guidance on technology investments and initiatives. Working in this area, you will collaborate with stakeholders to align technology strategies with overall business objectives to increase utilisation of technology resources, driving competitive advantage.

Focused on relationships, you are building meaningful client connections, and learning how to manage and inspire others. Navigating increasingly complex situations, you are growing your personal brand, deepening technical expertise and awareness of your strengths. You are expected to anticipate the needs of your teams and clients, and to deliver quality. Embracing increased ambiguity, you are comfortable when the path forward isn’t clear, you ask questions, and you use these moments as opportunities to grow.

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

  • Respond effectively to the diverse perspectives, needs, and feelings of others.
  • Use a broad range of tools, methodologies and techniques to generate new ideas and solve problems.
  • Use critical thinking to break down complex concepts.
  • Understand the broader objectives of your project or role and how your work fits into the overall strategy.
  • Develop a deeper understanding of the business context and how it is changing.
  • Use reflection to develop self awareness, enhance strengths and address development areas.
  • Interpret data to inform insights and recommendations.
  • Uphold and reinforce professional and technical standards (e.g. refer to specific PwC tax and audit guidance), the Firm's code of conduct, and independence requirements.

As part of the Corporate Technology Strategy team you will support delivery of digital and technology transformation engagements. As a Senior Associate, you analyze complex problems, mentor others, and maintain standards. You focus on building client relationships and developing a deeper understanding of the business context, while delivering quality work.

Responsibilities:

  • Support end-to-end delivery of technology and digital strategy initiatives, including problem framing, option analysis, business case development, and roadmap design
  • Apply structured, hypothesis-driven problem solving and data analysis to address complex technology and business challenges
  • Produce clear, executive-ready deliverables including business cases, operating model designs, strategic frameworks, and transformation plans
  • Mentor junior team members in analytical approaches, consulting toolkits, and modern delivery practices (e.g., agile, DevSecOps, cloud-native architectures)
  • Build relationships across business and technology stakeholders; facilitate workshops to drive alignment and informed decision-making
  • Support complex IT and digital transformation programs, ensuring risks, dependencies, and milestones are well managed
  • Apply knowledge of IT frameworks (e.g., ITIL, COBIT, TOGAF) and emerging technologies (AI, edge, blockchain, quantum) to inform strategic recommendations
  • Contribute to Corporate Technology Strategy initiatives that align capabilities, investments, and technology choices with business goals

What You Must Have

  • Bachelor's Degree
  • At least 3 years of experience

What Sets You Apart

  • Master's Degree preferred
  • Understanding of foundational IT domains (infrastructure, cloud, applications, data, cybersecurity)
  • Possessing experience with IT cost analysis, operating model design, sourcing strategies, or portfolio analysis
  • Knowledge of enterprise architecture concepts and common architecture frameworks
  • Assessing IT capabilities and identifying gaps to better align technology with business needs
  • Supporting performance management through KPIs/OKRs, dashboards, and governance processes
  • Supporting IT governance, process design, and role clarity within modern operating models
  • Using GenAI / Agentic tools for analysis, research, or workflow automation
  • Having exposure to AI strategy, governance, responsible AI, or AI adoption frameworks
  • Contributing to digital transformation roadmaps by integrating customer needs, data insights, and technology enablers
  • Supporting workforce strategy initiatives including skill assessments and capability-building plans
  • Supporting technology-enabled change management, including stakeholder engagement and adoption planning
