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.  

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.

Progression at pace. Innovation, led by constant learning. Work that excites you with every twist and turn. It all starts at KPMG Curve. Here, you’ll progress your career as part of a connected team, while being encouraged to be your true, authentic self.

At KPMG Curve, we offer career paths that can accelerate top performers, without having to go into management. You can stay technically-focused and carry on improving in your favourite tech field. You won’t be responsible for any sales work, either.

Other benefits include a learning allowance (so you can control your own growth) and paid overtime – prioritising the things that matter most to you. We take our work-life balance seriously, and will make sure you get time back if you’ve been working on anything heavy. At the end of the day, your well-being is what matters most.
