80% of open roles state yearsThis week's read
There are 261 open Delivery Manager roles in Canada right now, spread across 142 companies. New postings rose 47% over the last 30 days, from 70 to 103. The pace has held through the latest week too, so this looks like a real pickup, not a one-week blip.
Huron and BDO post the most roles, followed by Capgemini and Accenture. Together the top 8 employers hold 29% of all open roles, so the market is not controlled by one or two names. Capgemini is on Canada's LMIA sponsor list, but across the whole market only 4% of open roles sit at employers with recent visa filings, so sponsorship is the exception rather than the rule.
Employers are asking for experience. The median posting wants at least 5 years, and 1 in 5 roles ask for 10 or more. By title, mid level makes up 47% of postings, senior 20%, and principal 15%. Junior-titled roles are rare, at just 4%.
Pay is posted on 48% of open roles, which is 127 postings. Across all levels the typical range runs from C$109k to C$155k. Senior and lead roles typically run C$115k to C$165k, while mid level roles run C$97k to C$139k.
On skills, AI and machine learning shows up in 20% of postings, more than any other technology named. Agile is asked for in 18% of postings and PMP is named in 12%. Only 10% of open roles are remote, and the typical listing stays open for 24 days before closing.
What this means for you
Three things you can act on this week
- Postings just picked up
New roles rose 47% in 30 days, from 70 to 103, and the latest week kept pace. This looks like a good window to apply while demand is up.
- Visa sponsorship is rare
Only 4% of open roles sit at employers with recent LMIA filings. Capgemini is on that list. Check sponsorship status directly before counting on it.
- Experience bar is high
The median posting asks for 5 years, and 1 in 5 want 10 or more. Junior-titled roles make up just 4% of postings, so this market leans toward mid and senior candidates.

Momentum
New Delivery roles each week
Last 30 days: 103 new roles, against 70 the 30 days before (+47%). Each week counts the same companies, and a role counts as new only in the week it was posted, so a careers site we start reading never shows up as growth.
