Role summary

This role is an important part of IOGC. It involves the provision of legal advice to the leadership of KPMG International (such as the Global Board and Global Management Team) and their teams on a wide variety of key strategic issues, as well as supporting the execution of key business decisions made by KPMG International and the global network of member firms in dealing with legal, regulatory and reputational issues and risks for the organization. 

As a firm we help our clients navigate their biggest issues and opportunities. We aim to be universally recognised as a great place for great people to do their best work – a firm known for our collaborative and inclusive culture. And we will take pride in driving lasting, positive change in society.

KPMG's Commitment to Inclusion: We are proud of the value we place on individuality; we want you to bring your full self to work and truly maximise your potential. We believe that your individuality helps us to deliver the best results for our clients. Diversity of background, diversity of experience, diversity of perspective - that's the KPMG difference. 

KPMG research shows that 2/3 of deals fail to deliver value, and amongst the top reasons are People and Culture.

HR M&A was set up as part of the Integration & Separation (I&S) team in Deal Advisory, which has been growing year on year and seen by our clients as a market leader.
