The UK Company Secretarial and Global Entity Management (GEM) business sits within KPMG Law. Its ambition is to be a market-leading, technology-enabled governance and entity management business, supporting UK and multinational organisations with governance advisory services and globally co-ordinated entity management.

The business has a significant growth opportunity. Clients are seeking stronger subsidiary governance, better control of legal entity data, greater consistency across jurisdictions and alternatives to fragmented in-house and local-provider models. KPMG combines qualified governance expertise, a global network, a central GEM Hub and Digital Gateway to address these needs through advisory and managed services.

There are three pillars to the UK Company Secretarial and GEM practice:

• UK Entity Management – compliance and ad hoc support for UK entities, operated as a UK managed service.
• Global Entity Management – multi-jurisdictional compliance and ad hoc support for an international portfolio of entities.
• Governance Advisory Services – providing clients with corporate governance and board support services, including directors’ duties advice and training.

This Director (A Grade) role will take a role in supporting the overall build and growth of the UK Company Secretarial and GEM practice, with explicit accountability for revenue growth targets, market strategy and proposition ownership. Build senior client and internal relationships; lead complex pursuits and convert client needs into scalable, profitable solutions.

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.

A key focus for KPMG’s GCT team is to help multinational groups and financial services clients manage their global tax compliance, reporting and statutory accounting obligations, through outsourcing, co-sourcing, transformation and technology. More information about our team is at the end of this job description.

The Tax Technical team is a critical enabler to all tax activities within GCT and provides expertise into KPMG’s complex tax audits.  Audit quality is of paramount importance and to do this efficiently, we maintain a dedicated and enthusiastic team of tax specialists.  We are also the engine room of the tax reporting, compliance, governance and low-level advisory work undertaken by the wider GCT team – servicing large domestic compliance clients as well as our Global Compliance clients.

The Cyber Response & Recovery Manager role will sit within the Cyber Response Services team in KPMG’s Cyber Advisory practice, reporting into the cyber response leadership team. Cyber security is one of the areas KPMG has identified for significant investment and growth. Our clients continue to face increasingly destructive cyber threats, particularly ransomware, destructive malware, business email compromise, Active Directory compromise, cloud compromise and advanced network intrusions. In these situations, clients look to KPMG not only to investigate and contain the incident, but also to help them recover securely, rebuild critical services, reduce the risk of reinfection and improve their long-term resilience.

This is a hands-on cyber response and recovery manager role, focused on supporting clients through the most operationally critical phase of a cyber incident: restoring business services safely and securely. The role will work closely with incident response leads, forensic teams, legal advisers, crisis management teams, technology teams and client executives to convert incident findings into practical remediation, rebuild and recovery actions.
