PwC has confirmed it will recruit more than
100 people to join its growing Financial Services practice, as
Scotland's business community adjusts from the disruption of the
Covid-19 pandemic and looks towards a sustainable, inclusive
future. Representing a 10% uplift in PwC's total headcount across
Scotland, the recruitment drive comes as the Financial Services
industry accelerates its digital transformation.
PwC, which currently employs more than 300 people in Financial
Services across its Glasgow and Edinburgh offices is expanding
across its lines of service to support a sector worth £13bn to the
Scottish economy. Underpinning this growth is digital
transformation, FinTech disruption, the move to net zero and the
recovery from the pandemic.
Fraser Wilson, the Glasgow based Financial Services leader for PwC
Scotland said: "Like many industries, the pandemic has forced the
financial services sector to accelerate the rate at which it has to
change. Technology and the race to net zero have fundamentally
altered the way the sector thinks and our role at PwC is to help
enable that transformation. The demand for this runs right through
our business and that's why we're recruiting more than 100 new
people to work at all levels".
