Ignition delivers powerful and immersive experiences enabled by bespoke Ignition spaces and teams. These experiences drive acceleration, genuine transformational breakthroughs and ultimately, performance.  

We work with subject matter experts from across KPMG to help our clients transform through the creation of new visions, new strategies and new business models, or by improving end-to-end customer experience and building programmes to execute. 

We work with senior executives across our client base, helping them to solve their biggest and most complex challenges in highly 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 or critical help 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 the ability to work under pressure and to very tight timelines. 

Ignition experiences can range from one to three days in duration, with 5–120 participants, delivered in our centres or across the globe, and positioned at critical moments in a transformation journey.

As an events business, where the majority of our events are in person, all Ignition team members must be regularly present in one of our Ignition Centres to deliver events, work with colleagues and support the effective running of the Centre.

This exciting role is within our International and Complex tax group based in the London office, focussing on large inbound and outbound multinational businesses. You’ll join a high performing team advising some of the largest and most complex organisations in the world.

We are looking for a talented individual at Senior Manager level to support our continued rapid growth. The successful candidate will thrive in a dynamic and challenging working environment, supported by a strong and ambitious leadership team.

At KPMG, our values define who we are and the way we do business. As a leading professional services firm, we know that our strength and capability come from our people – their different perspectives, experiences and backgrounds. From our inclusive leadership strategy to our diversity and inclusion targets – we’re making bold changes to who we are and what we do. Be part of it.
