The role of the Business Process Architect is to significantly contribute towards efforts to improve, and create alignment between, the business and technology functions within KPMG to ensure that the Firm can execute its strategy and achieve its primary goals. The Business Process Architect must therefore have a good understanding of both business and technology strategy and concepts; requirements and designs; their mutual dependencies and impacts on one another; and an understanding of technology transformation and project management disciplines to create practical and feasible plans that deliver on the Firm’s primary goals. The Business Architecture team works closely with the Enterprise Architecture team to develop an integrated view of the enterprise, defining and using coherent frameworks, and repeatable methods and techniques. The build out of an integrated view of the KPMG UK Enterprise is key to accelerating and de-risking internal change and transformations.
