Working with a Manager who is staffed at 100% but spends 50% of his time on BD - Current engagement however is at risk and he just isn't putting in the work. How do I deal with this as an associate?

Email him all the time.

Try to see what work needs to be done beyond what you are doing, execute, set the meetings, run them, own the situation. Then speak to the Director about it all

Does PwC reward you for stepping up and take initiative? If it doesn’t and you’re not getting paid to manage your manager. Let it burn!

That is very fair, OP. Can you off-load some of the material prep work of the BD to free up the M? Having an honest discussion with the M doesn't have to be intimidating.
