Job Summary

KPMG Audit Technology is building a world-class product organisation. We are looking for a visionary, business-outcome-focused leader to establish and run our new Business Solution & Service Design function. This is a critical team that will ensure we build a cohesive, user-centric, and rationalised product portfolio, transforming our technology landscape from a collection of fragmented, siloed applications into a service-oriented ecosystem designed around value streams.

The Director, Business Solution & Service Design is the senior Product counterpart to the technical architecture team within Engineering. This role is responsible for shaping and leading strategic business initiatives through a business capability, value stream, and user-experience lens. While highly technically literate, this role is decisively business-outcome focused. You will act as the primary bridge, ensuring that business capabilities, operational workflows, and logical data needs are clearly defined, mapped, and translated into logical blueprints that Engineering's technical architects can seamlessly execute.

The ideal candidate will champion robust service design principles, drive application rationalisation based on business utility, and ensure our product roadmap is optimised to deliver seamless end-to-end user journeys. Professional Services experience, and preferably knowledge of Audit within the Big 4, is essential. 

We are seeking a talented individual with experience of Procurement implementations and detailed working knowledge of Source to Pay software including one or more of the following; Coupa, Ivalua, Oracle, GEP, ZIP, ORO or ServiceNow.

•    Procurement Solution Architectures – driving business strategy that meets the relevant client business, technology and regulatory requirements
•    Delivery Excellence – achievement of high-quality outcomes in the delivery of products or services to our clients. 
•    Practice Development – Ensuring that the team continues to deliver value to our clients through understanding leading practice developments, potential disruptors to the market in the shape of new technologies (including Agentic AI, intake and orchestration) and helping to ensure the team are sufficiently equipped to support our clients
•    Sales Support – Providing your experience and knowledge into the sales cycle ensuring our clients are set up for success
