Job Description & Summary A career in our Sustainability practice, within Risk Assurance Compliance and Analytics services, will provide you with the opportunity to assist clients in developing analytics and technology solutions that help them detect, monitor, and predict risk. Using advanced technology, we’re able to focus on establishing the right controls, processes and structures for our clients to ensure that decisions are based on accurate information and assure that information provided to third parties is accurate, complete, and can be trusted.
Our team helps organisations plan, source, deliver, finance and measure the wider impact of products and services. We’re helping to future proof businesses by making them more resilient and sustainable. You’ll focus on identifying and prioritising sustainability issues, setting goals that support alignment and integration of the sustainability vision into overall corporate strategy, and implementing processes, controls, systems, and dashboards to measure progress for consistent and accurate reporting.
PwC Canada is building the country’s leading climate change team within our sustainability / ESG platform. We focus on supporting our priority clients to address Canada’s most significant climate change questions, challenges and opportunities.
As a Senior Manager, you will play a critical role in the leadership of our climate change team and in the PwC-wide ESG platform. Ideally the Senior Manager will work on both decarbonisation and climate risk projects, but it is also acceptable for the Senior Manager to focus fully or primarily on either of those. While the focus of your work will be on climate change projects, you will also have an opportunity to support broader work in low carbon and sustainable finance, as well as broader ESG strategy, reporting and data.

Contribute effectively to complex, multi-disciplinary projects – often supporting several projects at a time
Continue to develop your technical understanding of climate change and how it applies to business, investment, and government decision making; and support internal and external thought leadership on specialist issues within climate change
Develop as a subject matter expert on one or more of decarbonisation, transition, resilience, or other topics within climate change
Manage and coach junior resources
Support technical projects in areas such as climate scenario analysis projects
Support clients and PwC colleagues to build their capacity in climate change
Manage client consulting engagements over their life-cycle

Experiences and skills you’ll use to solve
Professional experience in climate change consulting is required
A background in one or more of climate science, climate finance, engineering, financial analysis, economics, natural resources, or nature/biodiversity
Demonstrated experience in the key climate change and climate-related reporting frameworks
Commercial acumen and strong programme and project management skills
Critical thinking, intellectual curiosity and problem solving abilities
Ability to lead and work collaboratively in multi-disciplinary teams
Exceptional commitment to providing excellent client service, by building and maintaining productive relationships with both internal and external clients
Strong personal initiative, agility and resourcefulness
Excellent oral and verbal communication skills
The ideal candidate will be Montreal based but we will consider candidates in Toronto, Ottawa, or in other locations with the ability to travel to Montreal, Toronto, or Ottawa
