We are seeking a talented manager with experience of working across a wide range of Corporate and Defence clients. They should be able to manage and deliver client engagements, with demonstrable experience of managing the design and delivery of complex change and people transformation programmes to support our clients with addressing key market challenges. Typically, these programmes would cover at least one of the following areas: Workforce Transformation (inc. AI), Organisation Design, Change Management, HR Transformation, Digital Transformation, Learning and Development.  Our work is incredibly varied, but would typically cover:

• Managing a team of consultants and collaborating closely with client teams to deliver client engagements
• Providing specialist advice and working closely with client leads and team members to successfully deliver project outcomes
• Contributing to business development and sales, working with account teams to scope opportunities and developing compelling proposals to win new clients
• Contributing to the development of methods, tools and thought leadership

Capital projects consistently underperform in terms of budget, schedule, and value.  Stakeholders often lack confidence over the performance of their projects and programmes, and the transition to business-as-usual operation often fails to take advantage of the data and insight generated during the project implementation phase.  Data can enable and drive improvement as it has in many facets of our lives, with automation, digitalisation and AI now becoming the norm. 

It has quickly become a cheap commodity, easily created, and accessed.  However, capturing good quality, meaningful data to drive a completive edge, enable intelligence-led decision-making, helping to track and improve performance is today’s challenge for many organisations.  How do stakeholders obtain insights when served with an overwhelming volume of disorganised, poorly considered, badly constructed data?

Our Major Projects Advisory (MPA) team specialises in providing clarity to Boards, Executives and SRO’s and senior leaders across major public and private sector organisations, on the delivery of their complex projects and programmes. We work on some of the UK’s most strategically important programmes, and across all sectors including Utilities, Power, Energy, Transport, Natural Resources, Oil & Gas, Defence, Health and Education.

MPA comprises a multidisciplinary, diverse, outcome-focused team of 100+ industry experts who are driven by purposeful work to achieve positive change for our local communities and make a lasting global difference. ​ We enable greater transparency, efficiency, predictability and confidence, whilst helping navigate uncertainty. ​

We are a market leader in partnering with clients to maximise value through significant capital investments and complex transformations, working across projects, programmes and portfolios.  As trusted advisors, we support our clients across a broad range of areas in project and programme management, portfolio management, commercial and procurement, construction, ESG and technology.

KPMG UK’s Infrastructure Government and Healthcare (IGH) business is widely recognised as a leading financial and commercial adviser across the public sector and on projects of national importance. This advice, amongst other things, ranges from major system design, economic case making, transaction support, design of efficient operational process and technology enablement.

Our purpose is to support the projects that improve the fabric of our nation, and other nations around the world trying to improve the economic functioning and social wellbeing of their society.

Our healthcare advisory business is a critical plank in that. Healthcare is undergoing rapid change. The needs of an ageing population are becoming more complex, treatments more administratively complex, and technology adoption critical to its effective implementation. Our team advises across that – we are amongst the market leaders in service transformation, capital project delivery and technology implementation.
