Job Description & Summary

A career in Development within our Products & Technology organization offers an exciting opportunity for a dynamic, driven leader to guide one or more software development teams. We’re seeking an individual with a proven history of successfully delivering complex, enterprise-grade software solutions. The ideal candidate is not only a technical expert but also an inspiring leader who excels at building and nurturing high-performing teams while providing strategic vision and hands-on technical guidance throughout the software development lifecycle.

In this pivotal role, you’ll oversee and collaborate with a broad range of stakeholders—including business partners, project sponsors, development and QA teams, vendors, and end users—to ensure seamless project delivery. Outstanding communication skills, the ability to anticipate and address risks proactively, and a dedication to upholding the highest standards of project execution are essential for success. Flexibility in navigating both iterative (Agile/Scrum) and traditional (Waterfall) development environments is vital, enabling you to drive results regardless of methodology. You’ll report directly to the Director of Software Development and play a key role in shaping the future of our technology solutions.

• Document and maintain project releases, features, user stories, tasks, bugs, and defects using agile project management tools 
• Ensure compliance with PwC Global and PwC Canada guidelines for development, security, and branding 
• Work with Product Managers to refine epics, user stories, and backlog for sprint planning 
• Manage multiple development teams and identify resource needs as projects evolve 
• Identify, report, and resolve project risks, issues, and technical debt 
• Design and implement innovative applications and services within the organization 
• Conduct code reviews and maintain up-to-date technical documentation and processes 
• Coach, inspire, and lead teams to adopt Agile principles and achieve high productivity and cross-functionality

We’re committed to providing accommodation throughout the application, interview, and employment process. If you require accommodation to be at your best, please let us know during the application process.

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.
