To work at PwC Spain, first decide whether you are looking for a programme for students and recent graduates or a vacancy for experienced professionals. PwC offers separate routes on its careers website, with opportunities across several business areas.
This guide will help you choose the right route, understand the different areas of work and prepare an application tailored to the requirements of the role, without assuming that every vacancy is in audit or requires the same qualifications.
Two official routes: PwC distinguishes between opportunities for recent graduates and experienced professionals. Check the relevant section before submitting your CV.
How to apply for a job at PwC
The safest approach is to use the recruitment website that the organisation itself identifies as its careers channel. Vacancies may close or change, so check the information when applying for each role.
- Visit the official careers website.
- Search for the area, city or role you are interested in and check whether the vacancy is still open.
- Read the full responsibilities and requirements, paying particular attention to location, working hours and deadlines.
- Complete the requested details and attach an up-to-date CV tailored to the role.
- Save the vacancy reference and check for updates about the recruitment process through the official channel.

Kurriku is an independent publication and does not process applications for PwC Spain. If a vacancy gives instructions that differ from this guide, follow the company’s instructions and check that the URL belongs to a legitimate channel.
What jobs does PwC offer?
Not all roles have the same requirements or responsibilities. The following are among the professional areas identified by the company or found in its operations; availability depends on current vacancies:
- Audit: reviewing and analysing financial information and control processes.
- Business Consulting and Strategy&: strategy, operations and organisational improvement.
- Cybersecurity, technology and data governance: analysis, risk and digital transformation.
- Tax and legal advisory: technical and advisory work in these specialisms.
- Transactions, risk and corporate services: a range of professional and internal roles.
Requirements for working at PwC
Specific requirements depend on the role and should be checked in its description. Before applying, consider the following:
- Qualifications related to the specialism of the role (business administration, law, engineering, mathematics, computer science or other subjects).
- Analytical skills, organisation and the ability to communicate findings.
- Teamwork and a willingness to learn, particularly in junior programmes.
- Languages, technical knowledge or certifications where required by the vacancy.
- Proven professional experience if you are applying for an experienced role.
Do not assume that all candidates need the same qualifications, certifications, language skills or permits. If in doubt, check the formal requirements, job advert or instructions from the recruitment team.
Can you work at PwC without experience?
PwC offers a route for recent graduates, separate from its section for experienced professionals. The company lists qualifications in business administration, law, engineering, mathematics, physics and other subjects, as well as a motivation to learn and collaborate.
If you are just starting out, you can highlight internships, projects, volunteering and skills gained during your studies. It is better to provide specific examples than to fill your CV with generic phrases.
PwC jobs for students and recent graduates
If you are nearing the end of your studies, use the “Recent Graduates” section. PwC highlights potential, training and the ability to learn, and welcomes applicants from a wide range of disciplines. Tailor your application to include academic projects, internships, and quantitative or technology skills relevant to the area.
Working at PwC with professional experience
For senior-level candidates, a separate job search organises opportunities by business area: audit, governance and risk, consulting, tax, legal advisory, transactions and other areas. In this case, it is more important to demonstrate relevant experience, responsibilities and results than to list generic skills.
What to highlight if you are interested in audit or consulting
It is useful to distinguish between the roles. Audit focuses on reviewing information and controls; consulting can cover strategy, business, technology or risk. Tailor your CV to these specific skills and prepare examples of analysis, communication with teams, problem-solving or tools used in your specialism.
Salary and working conditions at PwC
Pay varies considerably between internships, junior roles, consultants, managers and specialists. There is no single public figure that represents all roles at PwC Spain. During the recruitment process, check the salary band if provided, contract type, location, working arrangements and specific benefits.
Before accepting a role, consider the working hours, schedule, gross salary, additional payments, contract type, location and responsibilities together. If the job advert does not state a salary, ask for details at the appropriate stage of the process.
Tips for preparing your application
A concise, clear CV tailored to the vacancy is more useful than sending the same version to companies and for roles that are very different. We recommend that you:
- First choose the business area and level of the vacancy.
- Tailor your CV to projects and tools you have actually used.
- For audit, describe the financial subjects, controls or data analysis you are familiar with.
- For technology roles, showcase projects, programming languages and verifiable solutions.
- Prepare a clear explanation of why you are suited to that team, not just to the PwC brand.
If the process allows you to include an additional explanation with your CV, you can use our guide to writing a cover letter.
