At PwC, our people in business services and support focus on providing efficient and effective administrative support to enable smooth operations within the organisation. This includes managing schedules, coordinating meetings, and handling confidential information.
Those in client administration at PwC will focus on managing and coordinating client relationships, prioritising smooth communication and efficient service delivery. You will utilise strong organisational skills and attention to detail to support the overall client experience.
About the role
The role-holder will be joining a small team within a broader Environmental tax team and so will be able to take on responsibility early, with real prospects for quick progression, while enjoying the support of a team of around 18 permanent members. The team's clients include household names and FTSE 100 multinationals, with the role holder expected to have client contact from Day 1.
The team also focuses on emerging regulation, and staying ahead of the market, making it an exciting and modern place to work, with a fast-paced and entrepreneurial atmosphere. This approach, and the team's agility, also means that ideas are welcomed from all grades, and there is the opportunity to develop your practice and suggest new offerings at a relatively junior level. Diverse perspectives are welcome, and team members are encouraged to bring their whole self to work.
