Management Level Senior Manager

& 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\xe2\x80\x99re 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\xe2\x80\x99re helping to future proof businesses by making them more resilient and sustainable. You\xe2\x80\x99ll 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.

Canada\xe2\x80\x99s largest businesses, governments, communities and investors are shifting from simply measuring their operational emissions to taking action. Over the next 12-24 months, organizations across Canada will need to demonstrate progress towards decarbonisation; to more accurately measuring their Scope 3 emissions based on activity or real data; to implement stronger data collection and control processes; and to assess their vulnerability to physical risks. They will also need to strengthen their approaches to nature, adaptation, and other climate-related topics.

PwC Canada is building the country\xe2\x80\x99s leading climate change team within our sustainability / ESG platform. We focus on supporting our priority clients to address Canada\xe2\x80\x99s 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.
