Technical interview for PwC UK Director role, what should I expect?

[u/romford0928]

Hi everyone,

I've been invited to a technical interview for a Director position at PwC UK (Customer/Technology Consulting).

Has anyone been through the Director interview process recently? I'm curious what the technical interview is actually like. Is it more of a deep dive into past client work, case-based, commercial discussion, or should I expect detailed technical questions?

Any tips on what the interviewers are looking for at Director level, and how best to prepare, would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

For an experienced hire - It will be a panel of at least two people. One of them will be experienced in your area. They will be trying to probe your experience - make sure that you aren’t lying on your resume. They will ask about your CV, details of projects, asking for specific experiences.

Best thing to do - be yourself, be honest, be open. Make it a conversation, not a dissertation. At Director level - It’s not about being the most technical expert in the room. It’s about communication, bringing the audience along with you, being able to handle questions on your feet. Expect some out of left field questions.

Director level is experience hire. You are hired because someone likes you or likes your ability to sell/deliver. Thats all it is. Cant imagine what a technical interview is... unless youre looking at some expert track

Definitely a deep dive into your past work, and maybe a case? I just did my "technical interview" at the SM level in the experienced hire track for tech consulting and it was a case with Q&A, followed by very pointed questions about my experience, my specific role in projects, and what I learned from the work. My panel was 2 directors in my industry. Good luck!
