Strategy& - Turnaround & Performance Improvement - Senior Manager

About the Role 

Organisations are facing increasing pressure to adapt amid economic volatility, geopolitical uncertainty, and intensifying competition. In response to growing client demand, we are expanding our TP&I team across our UK regional offices. 

As a Senior Manager, you will work with a diverse range of clients alongside leading practitioners across PwC, primarily within Deals. You will play a critical role across the end-to-end TP&I lifecycle—from diagnosing performance issues and identifying value opportunities, through to supporting and leading implementation. 

This is a delivery-focused role. You will be expected to take ownership of workstreams, manage stakeholders, and ensure tangible, quantifiable benefits are realised for our clients. We pride ourselves on being a trusted, hands-on delivery partner, not just an advisory voice. 

What your days will look like: 

• Manage internal and external stakeholders, including senior client executives 

• Provide sector and functional insight to operational transformation and value creation programmes 

• Analyse complex financial and operational information to develop clear, actionable recommendations 

• Conduct market, operational, and client analysis to identify performance improvement opportunities 

• Perform cash flow and liquidity analysis, financial baselining, sensitivity analysis, and forecast reviews 

• Prepare and deliver high-quality presentations and reports for senior stakeholders 

• Build and maintain strong, trusted relationships with clients and colleagues across the Firm 

• Leverage PwC’s broader capabilities to deliver integrated, high-impact solutions 

• Lead, coach, and develop junior team members, fostering a high-performance culture 

• Oversee project economics, governance, and delivery quality 

• Support marketing, business development, and proposition development activities 

​This role is for you if: 

• Experience supporting clients through operational transformation or performance improvement initiatives 

• Strong financial and operational analytics capability 

• Knowledge of working capital management, supply chain optimisation, procurement, and debt management 

• Experience managing complex change programmes and senior stakeholders 

• Comfort operating in ambiguous, high-pressure environments with competing priorities 

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including strong PowerPoint capability 

• Proven experience leading, coaching, and developing teams 

• Ability to leverage digital tools and data to enhance client delivery and insight 

What you’ll receive from us: 

No matter where you may be in your career or personal life, our benefits are designed to add value and support, recognising and rewarding you fairly for your contributions.  

We offer a range of benefits including empowered flexibility and a working week split between office, home and client site; private medical cover and 24/7 access to a qualified virtual GP; six volunteering days a year and much more.
