Against a backdrop of economic uncertainty, regulatory change, and heightened public scrutiny, KPMG’s ability to engage constructively with stakeholders – particularly government and business leaders – is critical to protecting and enhancing the firm’s reputation and influence. The firm is looking to recruit a new Deputy Head of External Affairs to help the firm navigate, respond to and engage with the political and policy environment. This role will be instrumental in shaping KPMG's external voice and influence on critical public policy issues and will drive strategic engagement with senior leaders across policymakers and business, ensuring KPMG's perspectives are heard and impactful.

The External Affairs team leads the firm’s work around government, policymakers, think tanks and trade bodies. It is a key part of the Public Policy & Strategic Engagement hub which is at the forefront of KPMG's external stakeholder relations, also encompassing the Board Leadership Centre, Investor Insights, and Regulatory Policy and Engagement. The PPSE hub manages all non-client, non-compliance external engagement, fostering relationships with politicians, trade bodies, think tanks, business leaders, and regulators. We also develop influential thought leadership on key public policy debates, from audit reform and the future of the profession to sustainable leadership and growth. PPSE sits within the wider Corporate Affairs and Marketing domain.

What you’ll do:
Overall:

• Shape the overall External Affairs strategy, working closely with the Head of External Affairs to agree priority issues to focus on each year.
• Deputise at Director level on the Corporate Affairs and Marketing leadership team and wider CAM activity where required.
• Play a leading role in overseeing the day-to-day operations of the wider team, and line-manage junior colleagues.

External engagement:

• Build a network of external stakeholders supportive of KPMG’s priority issues relating to growth, including with MPs, special advisers and government officials.
• Represent the firm at roundtables and events to promote KPMG priorities and public policy thought leadership, and share intelligence internally to further strengthen our insights for clients.
• Oversee KPMG’s memberships with key trade bodies and think tanks and actively participate in their activities to facilitate commercial opportunities with potential clients.
Political insight and analysis:
• Develop the firm’s political insights function to help strengthen client conversations on political and policy developments.
• Provide timely and concise political updates to KPMG colleagues across the firm – both in person and via email – to ensure our advice to clients is consistent.
• Create a wide range of insight materials to help client-facing staff maximise commercial opportunities relating to political change, building on existing tools (including the Policy Outlook).
• Work with our macroeconomics and tax teams to analyse the impact of government announcements for clients, including the Budget and wider fiscal events.
• Attend meetings across the firm to provide advice on political engagement and the impact of policy proposals on specific types of clients.
Advice to senior leadership:
• Provide updates to senior leadership on political developments and their impact on KPMG as a firm – including through face-to-face updates at relevant Steer Co’s and regular calls.
• Assess the impact of proposed policy
