Workforce Transformation - Compensation and Rewards Accounting - Senior Associate
At PwC, our people in workforce consulting focus on providing consulting services related to human resources, talent management, and organisational development.

You will work closely with clients to analyse their reward and benefits strategies, design competitive and equitable compensation structures, and develop cost-effective and attractive benefits packages.

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.
