Enterprise Hybrid Cloud Platform Architect (Advisory) – Senior Manager – National Security

Important - due to the nature of the work, it is essential for applicants to hold current 'National Security Vetting’ aligned to a UK National Security organisation.

KPMG’s AI & Platform Engineering practice helps clients transform the way they deliver the technology underpinnings of their businesses. We work with the UK’s largest and most complex organisations to:

• Develop strategies for the adoption and exploitation of modern platform technologies – both in the cloud and on-premises.
• Build the operating models, architectures and capabilities to deliver value from cloud and hybrid platforms.
• Help clients operate their platform estates effectively and cost-efficiently over the long term.

We need Hybrid Platform Architects that are comfortable providing advice and delivering to C-suite leaders and senior client technologists across our whole client base but, in particular, this role will be aligned to our well-established National Security team.

Ignition delivers powerful and immersive experiences enabled by bespoke Ignition spaces and teams. These experiences drive acceleration, genuine transformational breakthroughs and ultimately, performance.  

We work with subject matter experts from across KPMG to help our clients transform through the creation of new visions, new strategies and new business models, or by improving end-to-end customer experience and building programmes to execute. 

We work with senior executives across our client base, helping them to solve their biggest and most complex challenges in highly accelerated timescales — motivating, challenging and influencing them every step of the way. 

We deal with highly ambiguous, high-intensity and high ‘risk and reward’ scenarios. Ignition engagements are typically triggered when senior clients need urgent or critical help solving issues. This means the stakes are high for the client and for KPMG, and the route to the ‘answer’ is often challenging to find. Every member of our team requires flexibility, perseverance, influencing skills and the ability to work under pressure and to very tight timelines. 

Ignition experiences can range from one to three days in duration, with 5–120 participants, delivered in our centres or across the globe, and positioned at critical moments in a transformation journey.

As an events business, where the majority of our events are in person, all Ignition team members must be regularly present in one of our Ignition Centres to deliver events, work with colleagues and support the effective running of the Centre.

As a ServiceNow Solution Architect you will be responsible for leading delivery of ServiceNow based solutions across client projects. You must analyse new business requirements and their correct technical implementation solutions using industry best practices. You will work closely with client engagement leads, ServiceNow architects, connected service teams, project managers, business analysts, developers and testers to guide the design through to implementation and beyond whilst ensuring KPMG risk and quality standards are adhered to. 

We are looking for an experienced Director to join our Global Mobility Services (GMS) leadership team in the South (Reading or Bristol). GMS is a fundamental part of KPMG’s People Taxes practice and is currently enjoying accelerated growth and numerous exciting opportunities.
