KPMG’s Major Projects Advisory (MPA) team works with industry-leading organisations, helping to solve some of the biggest challenges in infrastructure. As a true market leader, we boast an impressive client base across the commercial and public sectors, delivering lasting results on projects and programmes which are household names.

The KPMG Infrastructure, Government & Healthcare (IGH) business is growing and because of investment in a new and strategic business unit we are now looking for sales leaders who can contribute to our ongoing success in this sector by positioning KPMG as a technology transformation partner to our clients. This role will be at the forefront of leading client and industry relevant responses to requirements in the market which align to KPMG’s capabilities to deliver digital resilience, risk and cyber solutions, Cloud transformation programmes, data, analytics, and sustainability propositions.

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.

In the role, you will be responsible for managing and delivering our largest and most complex audit engagements to a high standard of quality, from planning through to completion. 

You will have your own portfolio of large and/or complex audited entities, with responsibility for agreeing audit timetables, briefing the audit team (including specialists), monitoring budgets and supervising the KPMG audit process. You will manage and nurture stakeholder relationships at audited entities throughout the engagement, working with senior level staff.

You are also likely to have a departmental role, facilitating the internal operations of running the business, for example, roles relating to finance, technology, quality, people etc. 

As an Audit Senior Manager, you will be responsible for leading teams and supervising the work of junior staff, providing coaching and development to assist them in the effective delivery of engagements. You will also have performance management responsibilities for a small number of employees.

This role is for an ambitious professional at Assistant Manager level, who can work alongside our existing team to use their lived experience of construction and commercial acumen to solve complex problems.

The MPA team in the UK are based in London, Birmingham and Manchester. This role will be based in one of these locations but will require some travel to client locations throughout the UK and occasionally overseas.
