Overview

At KPMG, you’ll join a team of diverse and dedicated problem solvers, connected by a common cause: turning insight into opportunity for clients and communities around the world.

Are you a talented individual with a proven track record on executing project deliverables.

KPMG’s Infrastructure, Capital Projects & Sustainability practice is a dynamic and multidisciplinary team that supports clients across the full lifecycle of infrastructure and capital projects. While our roots are in infrastructure, our work spans a wide variety of engagements including strategy and business planning, major capital projects, procurement, development and planning, and asset management.

We are seeking an experienced and driven Manager to join our team, focusing on Strategy and Business Planning. These roles will play a critical part in shaping public and private sector transformation, helping clients navigate complex challenges and deliver impactful outcomes.

Our national team has deep expertise that is respected and sought after by clients across the country and in all major infrastructure sectors, including conventional power, renewables, transport, water, waste, and social infrastructure. Working at KPMG, you will have the ability to work with our country-wide network of professionals and deliver positive outcomes for our clients on nationally significant projects.

What you will do

• Work in a dynamic and cross-functional team with deep expertise in infrastructure delivery, operations, and management
• Lead advisory engagements including but not limited to:
  • Governance and operating model design
  • Business case development (including economic and financial analysis)
  • Economic impact assessments
  • Strategic planning and organizational transformation
• Collaborate with senior executives and stakeholders to understand their needs and co-develop tailored solutions
• Prepare concise and insight-generating materials, and lead working sessions and workshops with client teams on nuanced and complex topics related to corporate governance, benefits realization, and strategic direction of an organization
• Synthesize complex and sometimes-contradicting interests and inputs from interested parties into executable options or pathways forward
• Navigate an organization’s legacy and current operating realities to advise on viable options to proceed
• Bring cross-functional and innovative solutions to clients
• Manage project teams and deliverables, ensuring high-quality outcomes and client satisfaction
• Mentor junior team members and contribute to a collaborative, high-performing team culture
• Lead in marketing and business development including proposal preparation and the development of client relationships

What you bring to the role

• Bachelor’s degree in business, economics, public policy, or a related field (relevant post-secondary degrees considered but not mandatory)
• 5+ years of relevant experience
• Exceptional analytical, communication, and stakeholder engagement skills
• A collaborative mindset and a passion for solving complex problems
• Proven experience in strategy consulting, public sector advisory, or infrastructure-related planning leading to tangible results and positive client feedback
• Established local network of contacts, and/or demonstrated ability to establish meaningful business relationships in the past
• Experience in consulting or advisory roles, ideally within a similarly sized professional services firm in Canada or abroad
• Familiarity with infrastructure, capital projects, or public sector transformation is an asset
• Strong understanding of public sector governance, policy, and capital planning processes
• Demonstrated ability to work with senior executives and cross-functional teams
