Job Description & Summary

It’s an incredibly exciting time to join PwC as we help our clients create long-term value through the management of environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks, while also helping them make a positive contribution to the environment and society.

ESG Reporting & Assurance brings this to life by helping clients to protect and strengthen ESG-critical business reporting, from people to performance, systems to strategy and business risk to business resilience.

Ngā Kōrero mo tēnei tūranga / About the role

For our clients who are navigating sustainability strategies and regulatory requirements, telling their story through quality ESG reporting & metrics is critical. Our team plays a pivotal role in bringing trust and transparency to our clients’ reporting of key ESG disclosures, metrics and targets. 

We are looking for two Senior Associates to join our team. As a Senior Associate, you'll work as one of our community of problem solvers, in one of our strategically important growth areas. Your impact will be felt by:

• Working closely with a range of clients who report in accordance with a wide range of ESG frameworks and schemes such as TCFD, GRI, SASB, and the upcoming Climate Standards here in New Zealand 
• Delivering both limited and reasonable assurance engagements of clients greenhouse gas emissions and energy reports, and non-financial disclosures in accordance with International Auditing Standards (ISAE 3000/3410) or ISO standards (or equivalent)
• Building strong relationships with clients

Ngā pūkenga kei a koe / Skills and experience

This is an excellent opportunity to take your existing external audit experience and develop skills in the emerging area of sustainability and non-financial reporting. We are looking for someone who can bring the following competencies and experience to the role:

• 3+ years of work experience as an external auditor for a large, global auditing firm or a firm focused on greenhouse gas emissions audits. 
• A strong interest and willingness to develop your ESG reporting knowledge and experience. 
• Previous experience ‘in-charging’ external audit engagements
• You must be either qualified, or working towards qualification of a relevant professional accounting such as, but not limited to, CAANZ, CPA , ACCA or ICAEW.
• Proven experience working on external audit engagements and coaching junior staff.
• A relevant Bachelor's or Master's qualification in accounting or a closely-related subject.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English

You’re a problem solver by nature and want to join a firm that values the kind of people who reimagine the possible for their clients and stakeholders. You have strong analytical skills and continually seek opportunities to improve processes and obtain insights from data.

You’re collaborative and enjoy working in an innovative environment. Most importantly, you act with integrity and show care for the people you work with.
