Background
PwC are a trusted adviser to some of the largest organisations around the world, spanning the public, private, and financial sectors. The increasing availability and use of data requires all of these organisations to adapt quickly or face irrelevance. We are no different. Our technology strategy recognises this and aims to keep us at the frontier of change.
As part of this strategy, we are currently looking for Consultants to join our Artificial Intelligence (AI) team in London. We are looking for self-starters, quick learners, and technology enthusiasts who can develop and build on our current Artificial intelligence and Data Science propositions.
The Role
Bsiness is increasingly looking towards Data Science as a solution. As a Consultant in the AI team, you will work with business alongside our data scientists and engineers to use techniques such as machine learning and natural language processing to realise authentic, data-driven change and solutions.

The skills we look for in future employees
All our people need to demonstrate the skills and behaviours that support us in delivering our business strategy. This is important to the work we do for our business, and our clients.

Diversity
Valuing Difference. Driving Inclusion.
We work in a changing world which offers great opportunities for people with diverse backgrounds and experiences. We seek to attract and employ the best people from the widest talent pool because creating value through diversity is what makes us strong as a business, enabling us to solve important problems and deliver value to our clients. We encourage an inclusive culture where people can be themselves, are valued for their strengths and are empowered to be the best they can be. As an organisation with an increasingly agile workforce, we also support different ways of working offering flexible working arrangements.
