We are looking for a Manager to join PwC’s Transformation Design & Delivery team in Pōneke / Wellington. This opportunity is suited to experienced professionals who have worked hands-on across enterprise transformation or large-scale delivery programmes, from shaping and planning through to execution and delivery.

You’ll help to navigate complex change across some of New Zealand’s most significant transformation programmes, bringing structure and momentum to delivery, building trusted executive relationships and contributing to the continued evolution of PwC’s transformation practice.

• Lead transformation workstreams from planning through execution, working closely with clients to understand complex challenges, shape practical solutions, deliver high-quality outcomes and meaningful impact, building trusted relationships along the way.
• Coach and support junior team members, contributing to a strong, collaborative, and high-performing team culture.
• Contribute to the development of PwC’s tools, frameworks and ways of working, helping shape how we deliver transformation for clients.
• Plan and manage delivery effectively, including work planning, resource coordination, and adapting to changing priorities.
• Proactively identify, manage and escalate risks and issues, ensuring challenges are addressed early and delivery stays on track.
• Communicate clearly and consistently with stakeholders, providing accurate updates and maintaining alignment throughout delivery.
• Contribute to implementation and service transition activities, ensuring solutions are embedded effectively and sustainably.
• Leverage PwC’s coaching and development network to accelerate your growth while gaining exposure to a wide range of transformation work.
