Job Description & Summary

At PwC, our people in software and product innovation focus on developing cutting-edge software solutions and driving product innovation to meet the evolving needs of clients. These individuals combine technical experience with creative thinking to deliver innovative software products and solutions.
Those in software engineering at PwC will focus on developing innovative software solutions to drive digital transformation and enhance business performance. In this field, you will use your knowledge to design, code, and test cutting-edge applications that revolutionise industries and deliver exceptional user experiences.
Enhancing your leadership style, you motivate, develop and inspire others to deliver quality. You are responsible for coaching, leveraging team member's unique strengths, and managing performance to deliver on client expectations. With your growing knowledge of how business works, you play an important role in identifying opportunities that contribute to the success of our Firm. You are expected to lead with integrity and authenticity, articulating our purpose and values in a meaningful way. You embrace technology and innovation to enhance your delivery and encourage others to do the same.
Examples of the skills, knowledge, and experiences you need to lead and deliver value at this level include but are not limited to:
Analyse and identify the linkages and interactions between the component parts of an entire system.
Take ownership of projects, ensuring their successful planning, budgeting, execution, and completion.
Partner with team leadership to ensure collective ownership of quality, timelines, and deliverables.
Develop skills outside your comfort zone, and encourage others to do the same.
Effectively mentor others.
Use the review of work as an opportunity to deepen the expertise of team members.
Address conflicts or issues, engaging in difficult conversations with clients, team members and other stakeholders, escalating where appropriate.
Uphold and reinforce professional and technical standards (e.g. refer to specific PwC tax and audit guidance), the Firm's code of conduct, and independence requirements.
The world runs on data. It flows between machines, platforms, clouds, and people - and the organizations that harness it intelligently win. At PwC's Digital Integration & Architecture practice, we're the architects of that future. We help the world's most ambitious companies reimagine how their technology talks, thinks, and acts - and we're looking for exceptional people to help us lead that charge.
What We Do:
We sit at the intersection of technology strategy and real-world execution. Our team designs and delivers the integration fabric and platform architectures that power modern enterprises - from cloud-native API ecosystems and event-driven architectures to AI-infused data pipelines and intelligent automation.
But this isn't just engineering. It's vision. We advise C-suite leaders and technology executives across every major industry on how to think differently about their architecture - how to move from legacy monoliths to composable, AI-ready platforms that can adapt at the speed of business.
We bring the latest thinking in Artificial Intelligence to every engagement. We challenge clients to ask bigger questions: How can AI reshape your integration strategy? How do you architect systems that don't just connect machines - but enable machines to think alongside humans? These are the conversations we live for.
The Role:
As a Manager in our Digital Integration & Architecture practice, you'll be a trusted advisor, a technical visionary, and a team leader - often all in the same day.
You'll lead client engagements from the front, shaping architecture strategies that blend technical depth with business impact. You'll work hand-in-glove with our clients - not just delivering solutions, but challenging their thinking, building their capability, and guiding them through transformational change.
This is a role for someone who thrives on complexity and knows that the best solutions require both left-brain precision and right-brain empathy.
