Job description
Strategy& is a global strategy consulting business uniquely positioned to help deliver your best future: one that is built on differentiation from the inside out and tailored exactly to you. As part of PwC, every day we’re building the winning systems that are at the heart of growth. We combine our powerful foresight with this tangible know-how, technology, and scale to help you create a better, more transformative strategy from day one.
As the only at-scale strategy business that’s part of a global professional services network, we embed our strategy capabilities with frontline teams across PwC to show you where you need to go, the choices you’ll need to make to get there, and how to get it right.
The result is an authentic strategy process powerful enough to capture possibility, while pragmatic enough to ensure effective delivery. It’s the strategy that gets an organization through the changes of today and drives results that redefine tomorrow. It’s the strategy that turns vision into reality. It’s strategy, made real.
As a Local Content Senior Specialist, you will play a critical role in supporting Strategy&'s compliance with Local Content requirements across our Kingdom of Saudi Arabia operations. Working closely with project teams and corporate functions, you will help ensure accurate reporting, effective governance, and ongoing compliance with Local Content regulations and client commitments.
This role offers the opportunity to work across both project-level and entity-level Local Content activities, partnering with a wide range of stakeholders including Finance, Procurement, Human Capital, Operations, and business leadership. You will contribute to the development of robust reporting processes, provide analytical insights, and support the firm's commitment to delivering value in alignment with Saudi Arabia's national priorities.
