Are you driven to contribute to the development of AI Security as part of an engaged professional community? Join our Cybersecurity team and help strengthen our ability to advise clients on the security of AI systems, including GenAI, LLM-based and agentic solutions. You will work with colleagues across Cybersecurity and with Technology specialists and experts from Switzerland and the wider PwC network.

• Develop and apply practical threat models and abuse cases for AI systems, covering scenarios such as prompt injection, data exfiltration, insecure outputs, excessive agency, tool misuse, poisoning, model or API abuse, and identity or permission failures.
• Understand and challenge security considerations across GenAI, LLM-based, RAG and agentic solutions, and translate technical weaknesses into proportionate security requirements, control recommendations and prioritised remediation actions.
• Define the objectives and scope of technical testing and control validation, direct specialist activity where required, review the evidence and challenge whether the proposed remediation is sufficient.
• Take end-to-end responsibility for AI Security workstreams and, depending on grade and experience, engagements from scoping and project setup through delivery, client communication and quality of outputs.
• Work closely with colleagues in AI Security governance and risk so that technical findings are integrated into coherent client conclusions and decisions, and mobilise Technology specialists and subject matter experts when deeper implementation or niche expertise is required.
• Use entrepreneurial skills to contribute to the development of AI Security services, methodologies, reusable assets, proposals and thought leadership, helping shape the future of the capability at PwC.
• Lead by example, share technical knowledge and support the development of colleagues, fostering curiosity, collaboration and continuous professional growth.
