About KPMG Delivery Network

KPMG is focused on achieving significant growth ambitions while becoming the most trusted professional services firm. For Audit, this requires a relentless focus on key initiatives that drive Audit Quality and achieve Operational Excellence through standardization, centralization, automation, and innovation.

The establishment of a global delivery model, KPMG Delivery Network for Audit (KDN Audit), will help make significant strides in all these focus areas. We envision a network of global, regional, and specialty focused delivery centers that provide standardized services (on a cost recovery basis) to engagement teams in all member firms. The potential benefits are plentiful. Audit quality will be increased by the centralized, consistent performance of certain audit procedures. Engagement teams will be able to increase their focus on more complex procedures or on serving more clients. Our multi-national clients will have a more consistent experience around the globe. Most member firms will be able to achieve better margins. Finally, the firm will have a mechanism to help quickly deploy new and emerging solutions (e.g. ESG) and audit innovations (e.g. audit technology).

Role Summary

With the emergence of the CSRD, KPMG Delivery Network (KDN) will be at the forefront of delivering assurance to global clients through providing market leading expertise in ESG. The CSRD presents a transformative opportunity for KPMG’s global assurance practice.  This is your chance to be at the forefront of this opportunity and shape a more sustainable future, surrounded by specialists of a similar mindset.  Together, let's make a difference and create a more sustainable world and leave a lasting impact on the future.

As an Associate Director, you will play a pivotal role in leading both the delivery of work on the ground and the development of new opportunities for KPMG, maintaining insights and perspectives on how our markets are changing and how our capabilities align. You will own many critical relationships and operate as a trusted advisor to senior clients, helping to shape solutions, inform decisions and drive implementation.

It is a highly accountable leadership role that requires you to wear many hats, but you’ll be well supported by the rest of us.

We are looking for a Senior Manager to join our Global Workforce Advisory team, which sits within our Global Mobility Services practice in London. This team helps organisations set up their global workforce/global mobility programmes and improve the way they operate, given the increasing complexity of the global workforce and the need for greater agility post-Covid. This part of our business is rapidly growing and the requirement is for an experienced and confident individual who can help shape the direction of travel and play a key role in supporting the development of the practice.
