Ignition IT/AV Experience Producer – 103976

Base Location: Manchester

We believe that in today’s world, to solve complex business issues and to spark real change, you need to think and work differently. Traditional transformation approaches often don’t take clients far enough and aren’t delivered quickly enough. Rational, technical, ‘best practice’ solutions often take much longer to embed in an organisation than planned or expected. We believe that the key to unlock this problem is outcome-focussed innovation and collaboration.

We exist to inspire, facilitate and enable clients to navigate complexity and unlock exceptional future performance. We are famous for our expertise in innovation tools and approaches; collaborative design and problem solving; and techniques for delivering insight through data. We deliver world-class collaboration by blending these capabilities into a range of services supported by relevant subject matter experts

In the summer of 2020, we opened the UK’s first Ignition Centre, which has been a client experience game-changer - positively transforming the way we work with our clients, and each other, by combining specialist ways of working with dynamic, collaborative physical, virtual and hybrid environments. It not only helps us to deliver what clients need today, it also brings our digital expertise and content to life in new ways and enables us to develop solutions which prepare clients for a changing future.

Based on our success in London, we have recently expanded the UK Ignition footprint with our second Ignition centre, located in Manchester. This role will be primarily based in Manchester but will work across both centres.

Why Join KPMG Ignition as an Ignition IT/AV Experience Producer?

Ignition delivers powerful and immersive experiences enabled by bespoke Ignition spaces – such as the Discovery & Insights Centre, the Lab, the U-Collaborate Space and our Sprint rooms. These experiences drive, acceleration, genuine transformation breakthroughs and ultimately, performance.

We work with subject matter experts from across KPMG to help our clients transform in terms of digital transformation, the creation of a new vision, strategy or business mode or improving end to end customer experience.

We work with senior executives across our clients, helping them to solve their biggest and most complex challenges in very accelerated timescales - motivating, challenging and influencing them every step of the way.

We deal with highly ambiguous, high intensity and high ‘risk and reward’ scenarios. Ignition engagements are typically triggered when senior clients need urgent/ critical help in solving issues. This means the stakes are high for the client and for KPMG and the route to the ‘answer’ is often challenging to find. Every member of our team requires flexibility, perseverance, influencing skills and an ability to work under pressure and to very tight timelines.

The Ignition way of working is enabled by a range of bespoke spaces comprised of a range of unique technologies. This role involves working with the Ignition IT / AV team to operate and maintain the various technologies that support the delivery of Ignition events. In addition, you will work as part of a team delivering client facing events across our services.

You will provide support and advice to the Ignition team to drive the most effective use of the Ignition technology, learn the foundational aspects of delivering collaborative experience
