Job Description & Summary

A career in PwC’s Finance Transformation practice enables collaboration with CFOs, VPs Finance, Controllers, and Finance Transformation leaders to fundamentally improve how finance functions operate, deliver insight, and support decision‑making.

As a Senior Manager, you lead large‑scale, technology‑enabled finance transformations, with a strong focus on Enterprise Performance Management (EPM), advanced analytics, and AI‑enabled finance capabilities. You support clients in translating strategic ambition into measurable outcomes by driving transformation from vision and operating model definition through execution and value realization.

You lead organizations in defining their finance vision and operating model, aligning governance and processes with business priorities by optimizing core finance functions through automation and AI. As a trusted advisor, you architect and deliver scalable EPM solutions (OneStream, Anaplan, Oracle EPM, SAP EPM) that connect business strategy, data, and technology, ensuring sustainable results while providing expert guidance to senior executives and advancing PwC’s AI-enabled Finance Transformation offerings.

The Opportunity:  

As a Finance Transformation Senior Manager,, unlock your potential and embrace the chance to drive meaningful outcomes that’ll elevate your career. Your role will include, but isn’t limited to: 

• Lead complex, multi‑workstream Finance Transformation engagements across the full lifecycle from diagnostic and design through implementation and stabilization 

• Serve as overall engagement lead or EPM solution lead, accountable for delivery quality, timelines, outcomes, and value realization 

• Design and lead finance diagnostics to assess maturity, identify pain points, and uncover improvement opportunities across core finance domains, while also defining target operating models -including process design, governance, RACI, data ownership, and enabling technology. 

• Lead clients through vendor/software selection and full technology implementation, ensuring scalable, sustainable solutions aligned with long-term finance transformation goals. 

• Partner with Directors and Partners to manage engagement risk, monitor financial performance, and uphold contractual commitments, ensuring project delivery remains aligned with objectives and PwC quality standards. 

• Define, monitor, and control project scope, assumptions, dependencies, and change management; proactively identify, escalate, and resolve risks and challenges, including resourcing issues and client dependencies, while serving as a senior escalation point for stakeholders and internal teams. 

• Drive timely decision-making and issue resolution, ensuring all deliverables are clear, coherent, executive-ready, and consistently meet PwC’s standards for quality. 

• Establish and maintain trusted relationships with senior finance leaders, serving as a long-term advisor on their transformation strategies and providing clear, actionable recommendations on leading practices in finance transformation—including process standardization, automation, governance, analytics, and AI-enabled capabilities—tailored for executive and board-level audiences. 

• Cultivate a robust network across the finance transformation ecosystem by engaging clients, technology vendors, and the PwC network to drive innovation and market growth. 

• Own and expand the Finance Transformation and EPM revenue pipeline nationally and locally across industries, from opportunity identification through close, by shaping and leading priority pursuits -including solution strategy, client positioning, commercial structuring, and proposal development—in close collaboration with Partners and account teams; identify, qualify, and convert follow-on and long-term transformation opportunities to support sustained account growth. 

• Design and develop differentiated, value-led transformation offerings that integrate Finance strategy, EPM, data, and AI capabilities to address client priorities and drive revenue growth; create and scale Finance Transformation points of view, accelerators, and methodologies, while collaborating across PwC lines of service to deliver integrated, end-to-end transformation programs. 

• Coach, mentor, and develop Finance Transformation professionals across functional, technical, and delivery areas by actively shaping staffing, career progression, and performance management, leading recruitment, onboarding, and retention to build strong, high-performing teams and ensure the right skills are matched to engagements. 

• Lead the development and scaling of Finance Transformation capabilities and offerings- especially AI-enabled finance, EPM, ERP, finance operations, and emerging technologies by sharing leading practices, lessons learned, and intellectual capital across PwC Canada and the global network.

The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in recruiting is just getting started, so we know you have questions about how and why we use it. At certain points during our recruiting process, we rely on AI to improve your experience. This could be during resume review or curating personalized job recommendations, asking you clarifying questions via a chatbot or during our interview scheduling to improve your experience. Our use of AI helps ensure we combat bias by evaluating candidates equally and fairly, without seeing identity information, such as your name, or gender for example). AI also helps us better predict successful hires by reviewing all applicants for a role and the relationship between your skills, experience and likely success at PwC Canada. While AI supports parts of our recruitment process, final hiring decisions always involve human review. For more information about our use and protection of your data, please refer to our Privacy Policy (https://www.pwc.com/ca/en/privacy-policy.html).

Nous tenons à répondre à vos besoins tout au long du processus de demande d’emploi, d’entrevue et d’embauche. Si vous avez besoin de mesures d’adaptation pour être parfaitement à l’aise, faites-le-nous savoir à l’étape de la demande d’emploi.

L’utilisation de l’intelligence artificielle (IA) dans le domaine du recrutement en est à ses balbutiements. Nous savons que vous pourriez vous demander comment et pourquoi nous y avons recours. À certains stades de notre processus de recrutement, nous comptons sur l’IA pour améliorer votre expérience. Par exemple, pendant l’examen du curriculum vitæ ou l’élaboration d’une liste de recommandations personnalisées, un agent conversationnel pourrait vous demander des précisions ou fixer avec vous un rendez-vous pour l’entrevue. L’IA nous aide à mieux lutter contre les préjugés, car l’évaluation des candidats se fait de façon juste et équitable, sans que les informations d’identification comme le nom ou le sexe soient connues. Elle nous permet également de mieux repérer les bons candidats pour un poste et d’évaluer le lien entre leurs compétences, leur expérience et leurs chances de réussir chez PwC Canada. Bien que l’IA facilite certaines étapes de notre processus de recrutement, les décisions finales d’embauche sont toujours prises par des personnes.
