Technology Consulting

Women working at desk

From innovative strategy to rapid real-world results and more, we use technology to help our clients transform their businesses, delivering sustained outcomes that make a difference.

Today, technology distinguishes leading businesses from the rest. However, the "right" technology transformation varies—improving functions, unlocking new returns, or overhauling connectivity. While leaders understand technology's importance, they often struggle with knowing what's possible, where to start, or how to implement change.

Working in Technology Consulting

At PwC, we combine deep industry and functional knowledge, technology specialisms, and alliance relationships to help clients minimise disruption and maximise impact through tech-powered transformation. Recognized by leading analysts, we excel in helping clients derive real business value from technology.

Our technologists work alongside functional and industry experts to solve critical challenges. They provide expertise in technology strategy, architecture, and delivery, specialising in areas like data, intelligent sourcing, and cloud. We leverage best-in-class technologies from cloud hyperscalers such as Microsoft, Google, and AWS, and enterprise applications including Oracle, Salesforce, SAP, Guidewire, and Workday.

As part of our tech-powered Consulting teams, you’ll help clients with large-scale, cloud-enabled technology delivery, implementation, and transformation programmes across various industry sectors in the UK.

The Technology Consulting Experience

PwC’s Technology Graduate programme is an accelerated pathway into learning technical skills, and experiencing first-hand, how some of the world’s biggest and most dynamic brands use technology to run their business. You’ll have the opportunity to develop skills that will place you at the heart of helping our clients innovate and take advantage of technology to enable their business to be truly digital.  

This is a great opportunity to join our community of solvers, coming together in unexpected ways to solve the biggest challenges for our clients and society.

Your structured development programme means you’ll experience the different types of work we do and get exposure to the clients we work with. This may involve:

  • setting tech-powered transformation strategy and defining new ways of working,
  • being part of a team conducting a detailed appraisal of a client’s processes and systems, making recommendations including building proof of concepts and technology products to show and tell,

Whatever the project – this is one programme where you’ll continue to learn.
