Why join KPMG as a Future Mobility Analyst?

KPMG's Infrastructure and Government (IAG) strategy team wants the right candidate for their London-based team. The team needs professional, talented individuals who have a passion for identifying, creating and delivering innovative solutions for public and private sector clients.

The IAG Strategic Advisory Services (SAS) team works with government and industry on the biggest, most complex and pressing strategic, policy and programme implementation issues.

As part of a fast paced and dynamic group, practitioners will have the opportunity to advise on strategic options, business cases and operating models to public sector, agency and corporate clients.

Typically, the advice we provide can be categorised as:

• Market Assessment (e.g. market, policy or technology trends, market capability and capacity)
• Business Strategy (e.g. vision, objectives, strategic options, financial sustainability)
• Operating Strategy (e.g. operating model design, governance and structures, incentives)
• Market Making (e.g. complex business cases, market engagement, procurement strategy)

Within SAS is the Future Mobility team, which this role sits within. We define Future Mobility as the De-carbonisation, Digitalisation, and Disruption of transport through market reform, electric and alternate drivetrains, connected and autonomous vehicles, and Mobility-as-a-Service. The resultant ‘perfect storm’ is impacting automotive, supply chain, energy, technology, infrastructure, funds, transport operators, regional authorities and Government.  Things are changing faster than expected driven by rapid developments in technology, regulation, competition and consumer behaviour.  Over the next 5 to 12 years the organisations that we work with will require significant advisory support: multi £m transformations, multi £m deals, customer and industry 4.0 advice, strategic roadmap development and portfolio delivery.  KPMG has established itself at the forefront of this change, creating new relationships and unlocking significant benefits for transport systems and society

It is an exciting time to join our team as we are growing rapidly and working on fascinating projects – including: bus and rail market reform, digital roads, transport accessibility and inclusivity, and net zero transport. The team blends this with support to the largest infrastructure operators and infrastructure programmes in the UK.
