As an analyst you could be looking for hidden patterns in the global payments of a bank accused of money laundering or searching for evidence of fraud and abuse within a company’s finance system.

Join us and you’ll get to work on high-profile projects alongside industry-recognised specialists in computer forensics, data analytics, cybercrime, electronic discovery, information management and disclosure.
This position is based in London, however candidates should also be prepared to travel as some of our opportunities can require team members to work at client site from Monday to Friday.
About the role
Much of our work centres on the analysis of large volumes of electronic data. And because we operate in an environment where speed of response is often critical to our clients, we are constantly innovating and drawing on the very latest technologies.
The nature of what we do means that many of our clients have an international reach. And our engagements frequently involve working in cross-border teams alongside regulators, legal advisors and other parts of PwC – often in overseas locations. Despite these common factors, however, you can rest assured that no two jobs, or indeed days, are ever quite the same.

Your responsibilities will include but may not be limited to:
• In-depth quantitative analysis and summarisation of complex transactional data.
• Writing SQL / SAS code to aid data interrogation and investigations.
• Consulting with clients on business issues, often explaining complex technical concepts to non-technical people.
• Drafting reports and presentations to explain our findings.
• Researching new products, tools and techniques to assist with streamlining internal processes and methods of presenting results to clients.
Requirements
If you are naturally inquisitive, have an analytical mind and enjoy solving problems in a rigorous and methodological manner, we would be interested in talking to you. Experience in data mining, text mining, search, or statistics is useful, but not vital.

• Understanding of common data quality problems;
• Data cleansing and manipulation;
• Software development lifecycle and methodologies;
• General understanding of statistics;

To be successful in this role you will need to demonstrate the following:
• The ability to come up with creative solutions to complex problems;
• Exceptional analytical and technical aptitude;

• The ability to work independently with little supervision, but integrate well into teams;
• Concise and clear communication when presenting and explaining results and findings;
• A strong desire to learn and willingness to share knowledge.
