Director - Social Infrastructure

Job description

The Team
 
You’ll be joining our Infrastructure Advisory Group (IAG), within our broader Infrastructure, Government and Health Deals capability.  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.
 
The Role
 
We are looking for a Director to lead our Commercial Projects business focussed on the NHS. The team sits at the cross section of KPMG leading healthcare advisory business, and its Deal Advisory capability. The Director will focus on the market need for NHS organisations at all levels to increase their commercial focus and organisation in areas such as generating additional income, accessing additional capacity through deals with the independent sector or utilising their asset base better. This may include advice around partnerships, joint ventures, group structures and significant contracts. The Director will lead a team covering a breadth of services in these areas ranging from opportunity identification, business case processes, commercial and financial advisory services to resulting ventures.
 
The ideal candidate will be well versed and credible in operating in the healthcare sector, corporate finance skills and experience of complex transactions and approval processes in the public sector.
 
Whilst the role is focussed on healthcare, there is opportunity to apply the same skills to adjacent sectors facing similar issues. 
 
Roles & Responsibilities 

The Director provides leadership to the team, working closely with other Directors and Partners across the business to lead our market strategy, client delivery and business development activity. This includes:
• Leading market relationships with key clients and potential clients

• Playing a key role in developing the strategy of the team in target sectors and markets
• Providing training, guidance and leadership to the junior team members
• Having senior input into team headcount and recruitment decisions
• Any other duties commensurate with the senior nature of the role.
 
This role is UK based, although occasional international travel may be required.
