    Description

    & SummaryA career in our Sustainability and Climate Change will provide you with the opportunity to help clients seize essential advantages by working alongside business leaders to solve their toughest problems and capture their greatest opportunities. We work with some of the world's largest and most complex companies to understand their unique business issues and opportunities in an ever changing environment. We help create sustainable change by stimulating innovation, unlocking data possibilities, navigating risk and regulatory complexity, optimising deals, and aligning costs with business strategy to create a competitive advantage.

    Sustainability and climate change are at the top of the agenda for many organisations, but many are at different stages in understanding how they should respond. As part of our team, you'll help our clients balance competing economic, social and environmental goals. Our advice goes right to the heart of policy and strategy, addressing everything from the international development policies of major donors to changing regulations and consumer preferences, to the security of supply chains, climate risk and the challenges of urbanisation.

    To really stand out and make us fit for the future in a constantly changing world, each and every one of us at PwC needs to be a purpose-led and values-driven leader at every level. To help us achieve this we have the PwC Professional; our global leadership development framework. It gives us a single set of expectations across our lines, geographies and career paths, and provides transparency on the skills we need as individuals to be successful and progress in our careers, now and in the future.

    As a Manager, you'll work as part of a team of problem solvers, helping to solve complex business issues from strategy to execution. PwC Professional skills and responsibilities for this management level include but are not limited to:

  • Encourage everyone to have a voice and invite opinion from all, including quieter members of the team.
  • Deal effectively with ambiguous and unstructured problems and situations.
  • Initiate open and candid coaching conversations at all levels.
  • Move easily between big picture thinking and managing relevant detail.
  • Anticipate stakeholder needs, and develop and discuss potential solutions, even before the stakeholder realises they are required.
  • Contribute technical knowledge in area of specialism.
  • Contribute to an environment where people and technology thrive together to accomplish more than they could apart.
  • Navigate the complexities of cross-border and/or diverse teams and engagements.
  • Initiate and lead open conversations with teams, clients and stakeholders to build trust.
  • Uphold the firm's code of ethics and business conduct.

    • About PwC SATIC

    PwC has recently launched the South African Technology & Innovation Centre (SATIC). SATIC is designed to innovate, build and deploy for our global clients across a range of technology and transformational solutions.

    We are looking for a number of candidates who can support our global clients transform their approach to sustainability reporting. We'll need people who understand how technology can be used to support this reporting, but also candidates with backgrounds in sustainability and delivering change for clients to tackle the biggest challenges in society.

    The Sustainability delivery centre will work closely with the PwC UK Sustainability practice, where you will play an integral part in engagements, working as part of an extension of the UK team. It presents an exciting opportunity to shape a meaningful career, contributing positively to some of the most pressing global challenges.

    If you are looking for a career where every day is different, where challenges are complex and where you can make a real difference, then we want to hear from you.

    Role Summary:

    Joining PwC's Sustainability team in SATIC presents an exciting opportunity to shape a meaningful career, contributing positively to some of the most pressing global challenges. Through speed, collaboration, and imaginative thinking we're helping our clients to build trust in the climate transition by:

  • enhancing credibility of non-financial sustainability and climate reporting,
  • driving sustainability transformation programmes to ensure the transition to Net Zero is fair.

    • We are also ensuring our own business is ready to meet the challenge ahead. As part of The New Equation, PwC is committing $12bn globally over the next 5 years, creating over 100,000 new jobs, with a specific emphasis on strengthening our Sustainability capabilities.

As our Sustainability Reporting team expands, we are actively seeking talented professionals with a background in Sustainability Reporting or non-financial control frameworks, to play a leading role in delivering complex engagements to senior client stakeholders.
