Job Description & Summary

At PwC Greece, we believe change is the new constant. An enterprise’s ability to innovate, adopt new technology and disrupt the status quo is a core capability needed to thrive. We support and guide clients to disrupt their existing business models. Innovative mindsets and human ingenuity are always welcome. This is why we are looking for you.

If you are a problem solver with motivation to learn, someone willing to collaborate with different teams across PwC Greece, a good communicator with high emotional intelligence and someone willing to take ownership beyond the obvious, then you are the one!

Our Operations Strategy team, integral part of our Strategy practice, stands in-between the Strategy and Operations solidifying their link and acting as a solution integrator. We typically come in when the client needs to effect large-scale changes to implement their strategy and/or respond to external environment needs. 

We lead a broad range of projects, including but not limited to, strategic programme management for large transformations, target operating model re-design, turnaround programmes, post-merger integrations/ carve outs and digital modernization. We work with leading organisations in various industries such as energy, utilities, telecommunications and technology, consumer goods, industrial products, to name a few.

As we continuously grow our practice, we are recruiting for Associates / Senior Associates to join our Operations Strategy team in Athens.

What we are looking for:

• Excellent academic background from a Greek or foreign university (Bachelor’s or Master’s degree) 
• Previous working experience (1-3 years), or experience in Consulting or internal Consulting / Strategic Project Management roles is welcomed but not necessary; we are looking for high calibre individuals above all

• Confidence, positive attitude and commitment in providing excellent quality work
• Military obligations fulfilled for male candidates

We look for people who bring something distinct to our work. Our Associates join us from a range of backgrounds, but all have an eye for execution and are highly motivated to drive change within an organisation. We also look for people who bring something more to our work than their academic credentials.For example, the self-discipline and team-working skills that stem from a sporting background; or leadership qualities gained through work experience.

As an Associate, you’ll be able to exercise analytical, planning, critical thinking, and interpersonal skills in your day-to-day work. Over time, you’ll build the confidence and credibility to present your opinions to clients and senior stakeholders.
