Join our community of solvers in cultivating a collaborative workplace driven by unique perspectives. We’re proud PwC Canada advances a culture that helps everyone thrive. It's one of the reasons we're recognized as a top employer in Canada. As you build a career with purpose and build meaningful connections that’ll last a lifetime, you'll work with people from diverse backgrounds and industries to help solve important problems, powered by the latest technology, to turn today's ideas into tomorrow's solutions.
PwC Canada is committed to cultivating an inclusive, hybrid work environment - one that is collaborative, supportive and productive. We work in-person and virtually, as is best suited for our clients, teams and people. We want you to be intentional with your work, how you do it and where it’s done. PwC offices are hubs of connectivity and learning. We strongly encourage our people to prioritize in-person work, whether it’s in the office or at a client site. This means we expect you to be in-person (either with clients or in the office) at least half of your time.
We know that hybrid work is all about balance, and capturing the benefits of in-person work is essential to your growth at the firm. Exact expectations for your team can be discussed with your interviewer. With connectivity being a key enabler of our strategy, our objective is to become the most connected firm - connected to our clients, our communities and to each other. PwC follows an Activity Based Work model, where our PwC professionals engage in a diverse range of activities from our offices, from client sites, or our homes.
What You’ll Create And Do
As an intern in our Customer practice, you’ll have the opportunity to collaborate with our team to design innovative experiences, products, and solutions that address the real needs of our clients’ customers. You’ll leverage a diverse range of skills, including:
- Research / Insights – Applying social science methodologies to uncover the drivers of consumer behavior and insights.
- Strategy – Connecting consumer needs and behaviors with commercial goals by creating strategies and business models that are both customer-centric and financially sound.
- Operations – Supporting clients in enhancing frontline interactions with customers (e.g., call centers, retail teams, and other customer-facing touchpoints) to improve service delivery and customer satisfaction.
- Product and Service Design – Developing new value propositions to address unmet needs or improve existing offerings.
- Visual and User Experience Design (for those with the relevant skills and training) – Creating digital assets that bring new value propositions to life.
Our team works across a variety of industries, including public sector, financial services, retail, and more—covering nearly every facet of the Canadian economy. What ties all our work together is a commitment to deeply understanding how people interact with the products and services that shape and support their lives.
As part of our team, you’ll deepen your knowledge of this dynamic space and help shape new customer-focused propositions.

We’re seeking smart, disciplined, and curious individuals who are excited to test-drive a career with us while contributing to meaningful work. This internship is a chance for us to get to know you—and for you to see if we’re the right fit for your long-term career aspirations.

- Hard sciences (e.g., biology, physics).
- Arts (e.g., applied design, design theory)
- For applicants interested in design roles (e.g., UX design), coursework in design or related disciplines is preferred, and a portfolio showcasing your work is required.
- For customer strategy or customer operations roles, relevant experience such as case competitions, internships, or other business-related activities is highly valuable.
- For research-focused roles, coursework or experience in research methods, market research, psychology, or sociology is beneficial.
Ultimately, we’re looking for signals of intellectual curiosity, problem-solving ability, and a willingness to learn—regardless of your field of study.

- Collaboration: You are emotionally intelligent and can build meaningful rapport with professionals as peers. Your track record includes effective teamwork in collaborative environments, such as sports, case competitions, or other group endeavors.

You set high standards for yourself and embrace challenges as opportunities for growth.
- Resilience: You’ve demonstrated the ability to overcome setbacks, adversity, or mistakes, and have grown stronger from those experiences. We value individuals who show grit and perseverance, even if they don’t perfectly match all our other criteria.
