Internship, Tax, Reward and Employment, London, Summer 2023 London, England
Job description
We help our clients stay ahead of the changes that impact their business. Equipped with the scale of a seamlessly connected global network, we’re where they need us - delivering deep tax technical expertise, while providing the critical context to help make informed and compliant decisions that drive their operations forward. At a global and local level, we design best-in-class integrated tax and legal strategies that empower clients to move from complexity to execution.
Our expertise covers every conceivable area of taxation. Our tax experts proactively engage in the tax policy debate and are focused on leading views and new ideas. Your knowledge will help high-profile organisations, entrepreneurs and family businesses, understand complex rules and make informed decisions with significant impacts. Our people need to be flexible and ready to build strong relationships, networks and leadership skills.
People and Organisation (P&O)
In P&O you’ll help some of the leading UK and international employers make the most of their biggest asset – their people. It’s such a diverse area, you could work on projects helping business leaders define their HR strategy, through to advising clients on how to improve the effectiveness of their workforce. Or help senior executives understand their global personal tax obligations, to implementing cutting‑edge technology in the HR space. You'll work on projects across all sectors of the economy, providing vital support to clients. And whatever you work on, you'll learn about employment tax risk, employment cost reduction and employer social responsibility.
Reward and Employment (R&E)
The Reward & Employment team is a 250+ people strong rapidly growing part of the P&O practice. You would join a team advising clients on a broad range of Reward, Executive Compensation, Remuneration Regulation, Employee Performance, Pay Governance and related tax / financial matters. Coupled with this the increased focus on corporate reputation, executive pay, pay for performance, pay governance and fairness, cost control and compliance with ever changing global rules and regulations, means our clients constantly need our help.
Programme
Our summer internships offer students invaluable insight into PwC's business and culture. You'll have the opportunity to experience work and life at PwC, and collaborate with both graduate trainees and experienced professionals on real client projects. The opportunities to learn and grow are unrivalled - so be prepared to get stuck in.
What you'll do
Our multidisciplinary Reward and Employment team advises clients on the most effective way of incentivising and rewarding their employees. You’ll draw on your problem-solving and analytical skills to develop reward structures that support business strategy, drive appropriate behaviours, and are considered fair to shareholders and employees alike. Please note that if you are offered a place on our graduate programme following this internship, this would be for our CIPD pathway.
What you'll need
You’ll need to be in your penultimate year of an undergraduate or postgraduate degree; or
you’ll need to be in your final year of an undergraduate degree with a one year postgraduate place confirmed; and
you'll need to have achieved or be on track to pass an undergraduate degree or above in any subject. We determine whether you're on course to pass based on the grades you achieved in your last completed year of academic study.
When to apply
Although there is no application deadline, each year we have only a small number of roles available. We therefore advise applying early, but please be prepared for a short wait in processing your application at each stage of our process while we consider your application alongside others.
