About the role

Our NetSuite business here at PwC UK within our Enterprise Business Applications (EBA) practice has seen some significant growth and prospects over the last few months, and we are looking to grow our capabilities further to meet market demands.

Our NetSuite practice is engaged in helping small to medium-sized entities deliver successful NetSuite-based implementations and transformations, along with helping existing customers on NetSuite optimise and make the most of their investment in technology.

As a manager within our NetSuite practice, you'll work with the latest technologies and iconic companies on projects that are driving the future of those organisations. The role provides an excellent opportunity to work in a new and growing team and to progress your skills and career, with development opportunities across our risk and advisory business as well as broader business skills.

Being mobile is essential, as you'll work on client projects that could be anywhere in the UK, but we will fully support hybrid working where possible. The same goes for your skill set: intellectually curious, dynamic, and the ability to challenge traditional approaches to deliver real transformation. Ultimately, an open mind to take advantage of all of the opportunities on offer is essential.

As part of PwC's risk practice, you will have the privilege of acting as a trusted advisor to a diverse and expansive client base spanning multiple geographies and industries. This means that we have a real opportunity to enhance and refine our clients' businesses through the use of ever-evolving technology. Of course, this will only be possible if we have the right people with the right skills and the ability to push the boundaries of how new technologies can support future business models.

That's where you come in. As a lead functional consultant, you will blend a breadth of solution architect knowledge and hands-on experience with the Netsuite cloud ERP solution.
