You will own client relationships, lead complex engagements and mentor teams while helping clients navigate the full landscape of SR&ED tax credits and other government funding opportunities-including Clean Economy Investment Tax Credits (ITCs) such as the Clean Technology ITC, Clean Technology Manufacturing ITC, Clean Hydrogen ITC, CCUS ITC, and Clean Electricity ITC.

The Opportunity

• Lead and oversee the completion of SR&ED claims and other government incentive and funding projects across a portfolio of clients

• Direct the identification, evaluation and access of Clean Economy ITCs, direct grants and incentives, partnering with engineers and accountants-both within PwC and at client organizations-to assess eligibility, quantify benefits and oversee claim preparation

• Provide senior-level strategic advice to help clients optimize and maximize returns from SR&ED, Clean Economy ITCs and other government incentives

• Drive business development activities-identifying, researching and pursuing new opportunities-to grow revenue and expand the practice

• Develop innovative strategies and practical approaches to solve complex technical and client-related challenges

What You'll Bring

Your skills, knowledge, and experiences are what set you apart. Here's what we look for:

• A degree or education in a STEM field or related discipline

• Experience as a SR&ED government incentives practitioner, including preparing, leading and supporting SR&ED claims and incentives projects

• Experience managing a portfolio of clients and leading claim preparation and review engagements through to completion

• Prior experience with the Clean Economy ITC program and capital asset classification is an asset; experience with clean technology, energy, critical minerals, electric vehicles or heavy industry is also an asset

• Strong analytical skills to understand the business and financial aspects of capital asset and innovation projects, interpret tax legislation related to incentive programs, and communicate effectively with technical and non-technical stakeholders

• Creative problem-solving skills to apply the SR&ED rules to client opportunities, with the judgement and experience needed to lead complex claim preparation and review engagements

• A proven track record in business development, with the ability to build a market presence and generate new opportunities
