People Consulting Overview: 
People Consulting is an integral part of KPMG’s Management Consultancy practice and a growing part of our business.  This team help to transform the performance of organisations by changing the way people are led, managed and developed.  We do this by focusing on two key areas – delivering the people agenda on large scale, complex, change programmes and transforming the HR function by technology.  
 

We help financial services organisations – Banks, Insurance companies, FMIs, Wealth and Asset managers, and Fintechs – to change and adapt to the environment in which they operate.  Changes may be driven by decisions to digitise, to streamline, to pivot, to respond to new regulation or to harness the benefits of analytics or new technology.   Or they may be driven by acquisition or disposal.  Whatever the reason, our clients are continually re-designing parts of the organisation, and that’s where we come in.  

We are looking for experienced consultants who can lead Organisation Design workstreams on complex, business critical programmes.  You will be expected to

• Scope, price and design our approach for a particular client (with support from a Partner or Director), and then to lead delivery of this work
• Lead/support business development and grow revenues from the existing work portfolio
• Use leading practice problem-solving methodologies to address client issues and structure projects
• Work and collaborate with colleagues from other service lines such as technology, finance, customer or analytics  

At KPMG we have re-imagined careers in Global Compliance & Transformation (GCT). 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. 

Our clients leverage KPMG’s compliance and transformation expertise and technology to drive better visibility, greater efficiency and improved risk management across their organisation.  Ultimately we prepare groups for the future of digital compliance helping them develop a sustainable, technology- enabled and holistic future state operating model.
