Why Join KPMG as an Assistant Manager in Global Business Services

In the Global Business Services (GBS) consulting team we partner with our clients to innovate, realise business outcomes and secure value for the enterprise. We are a team of go-getters, with extensive consulting and industry experience. We work with big brands and well-known clients across Corporates, Private Equity, Infrastructure, Government, Healthcare and Financial Services; and along with our colleagues across the KPMG offerings we deliver sustainable, transformative and technology enabled solutions for our clients.

KPMG’s Turnaround team is the first line of response to opportunities arising from financial stress and distress. 
These situations require multi-capability teams to deliver a full client solution, where bringing the best of KPMG to clients is key to winning work. 

Technology is one of the KPMG’s priority investment areas – Connected Technology services the whole of the KPMG client-side business portfolio through delivery of core technology, transformational processes and managed services capabilities, collaboration and innovation development services and building of our Alliances network. Our integrated capability teams design, build and operate flexible technology enabled solutions for clients to help them solve the most complex business problems and transform their operations.  

Powered Enterprise is KPMG’s world-class accelerated Enterprise Business Transformation approach for cloud-based solutions that uses pre-designed back-office leading practices and KPMG’s six-layer Target Operating Model. It enables clients to make better, faster decisions, resulting in a quicker implementation and a faster path to Return on Investment. This solution combines the breadth and scale of KPMG’s leading practice, capabilities and insight into a complete solution for an effective service management back-office solution.  

The Powered Apps teams are communities of technology focussed professionals who work together to deliver KPMG Powered Enterprise though a standardised delivery model, which drives professional delivery to clients. The teams use their functional knowledge and experience (e.g. Finance, HR, Procurement), coupled with their expertise in the cloud applications (e.g. SuccessFactors, Workday, ServiceNow HRSD, Coupa) to lead and deliver client programmes, support pre-sales activities and develop improvement and extensions to Powered Enterprise

The role of the Integration & Dev Ops Enterprise Architect is to develop the UK Firm’s integration & DevOps technology strategy and translate this into a roadmap that determines our investment priorities and transformation portfolio. The integration strategy needs to promote a seamless, end-to-end customer and employee experience by enabling the efficient creation and modification of effective and reusable integration components. In particular, the strategy should promote the use of modern, Cloud-based technologies; Infrastructure as Code (IaC), support typical integration use cases; create an operating model that satisfies the demands of the business for integration design, development, testing and release; and establish an integration catalogue that supports the reuse of new technologies, whilst targeting legacy integrations for decommissioning. The Integration & Dev Ops Enterprise Architect should also help to execute and govern the strategy, by helping solution architects and projects to design solutions that are fit for purpose and conform to our standards and patterns.

As a member of the GBS team, you will be primarily focussed on working with clients in the public sector i.e. Central Government, Healthcare, Higher Education, Infrastructure, Local Government and Policing. You will be focused on the delivery of market leading GBS solutions to the public sector including GBS Strategy, Target Op Model design, GBS Transition/Implementation and Business Process Outsourcing advisory.
