Join our dynamic and rapidly growing Tax Technology & Innovation team at KPMG, where you will help drive the adoption of cutting-edge technology, including artificial intelligence, across our tax practice and for our clients. As a Manager, you will be responsible for delivering innovative projects, managing teams, and supporting clients as they navigate technological change.

You will work closely with senior leaders and clients to design and implement solutions that address complex tax challenges, improve efficiency, and unlock new opportunities. You will also play a key role in promoting technology adoption within the team, supporting training initiatives, and contributing to the continuous improvement of our service offerings.

If you have a strong background in technology project delivery, a keen interest in AI, and a desire to make a real impact in the tax industry, we encourage you to apply - prior tax or accounting experience is beneficial but not essential.

As a leading professional services firm, we know that our strength and capability come from our people: their different perspectives, experiences and backgrounds. From our inclusive leadership strategy to our diversity and inclusion targets – we are making bold changes to who we are and what we do. Be part of it.
