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

Overview

This is an enormously exciting opportunity for a sales professional to represent KPMG across the Financial Services market across the Regions. Financial Services firms – including Insurers, Banks, Building Societies, Fintechs, and Wealth & Asset Managers – represent some of the most dynamic and impactful enterprises in the UK market. The Northern region in particular is recognised as a national engine for growth, innovation and opportunity, with FS organisations and regulators increasingly enhancing their presence outside of London and into the Regions. In this role you will be facing into that market on behalf of the firm, understanding businesses’ challenges and strategies, convening client contacts with KPMG professionals, and bringing a creative and entrepreneurial mindset to join the dots within our firm in order to deliver solutions of real value.

Lead procurement transformation for organisations across the public and private sectors, helping clients improve operating models, unlock value and deliver technology-enabled change. As a Manager, you will take ownership of projects or major workstreams, guide teams and work with senior stakeholders to turn complex challenges into practical outcomes. You will build experience across operating model transformation, digital transformation and strategic procurement, with opportunities to work across sectors and with a range of technology alliance partners. This is an opportunity to join a well-established UK procurement consulting team where strong performance, breadth of experience and professional growth are actively supported.

We are looking for early career Hybrid Platform Architects / Systems Engineers that are comfortable providing advice and delivering to senior client technologists across our whole client base but, in particular, this role will be aligned to our well-established National Security team.

National Security
The National Security sector is one of KPMG’s key priority sectors. We are growing our team to meet an ever-increasing demand for our market-leading services and are seeking expertise and experience to join us.

Enterprises, when starting on their modernisation journey, often imagine that they will simplify their environment. The reality for many, however, is that adoption of technologies such as cloud adds additional technologies and capabilities, drives divergence in operating models, often splits business processes across multiple tech stacks in different landing zones and, overall, adds significant complexity to the enterprise estate.

You must help make sense of this new complexity, and be able to tame it through judicious use of both old and new technologies coupled with “hybrid” processes that address the needs of both the legacy and the new platform environments. You will have knowledge of both the traditional enterprise landscape, as well as an appreciation of the major cloud platforms and the opportunities, capabilities and pitfalls they present. You will be responsible for helping KPMG to clarify client problems and assist the development of logical and implementable solutions to those problems through robust analysis.
