Role summary

KPMG is now a digital business, and as a result, technology enables everything it does and requires KPMG to continue to transform with technology in support of its Growth and Trust agenda. This role, which is focused on the product and innovation aspects of Intellectual Property (IP), Technology and Data, is a part of the International Office of the General Counsel (IOGC).  It focuses on providing legal advice and support from IOGC on the development, protection, enforcement, acquisition and licensing of technology, software and data, particularly risks, protections and opportunities related to the patent aspects of KPMG’s IP, technology and data strategy.

Although this role is primarily focused on product and innovation, this role may also involve providing support to other IOGC lawyers on strategic initiatives and commercial technology transactions, particularly where the licensed technology is protected by patents, is not patent protected but is in a highly patented field, and/or leverages artificial intelligence and blockchain.

The person in this role will execute their responsibilities under the overall supervision of, and working collaboratively with, the most senior patent lawyer with respect to IP, Technology and Data and other senior lawyers focused on IP and technology law. This role requires a person to provide meaningful value-add to business and technology development teams by supporting product and innovation that contributes to over $17 billion in annual revenue, helping to analyse KPMGI’s intellectual property (IP) and technology assets, and advising on patent protection and IP enforcement, all while supporting IOGC’s senior leadership team in managing, mitigating and preventing legal and reputational risk.

The role is an excellent opportunity for a junior lawyer who has focused on patent work (prosecution, litigation, licensing, freedom to operate) to apply their skills to a rapidly growing international patent pipeline focused on emerging technologies and to expand their IP skillsets beyond patent law in a rapidly growing digital business.  

This strategic business partner role is essential to how KDN Tax & Legal works with a member firm (or region), and is part of KDN’s broader stakeholder management function. It’s critical to driving member firm awareness and adoption of KDN Tax & Legal solutions, and therefore the ultimate transformation of that member firm’s delivery model and its ability to optimize KDN’s global offerings. Leveraging his/her experience in a KPMG member firm’s Tax practice, the manager will be the day-to-day relationship point between the leadership team at a member firm and KDN’s T&L. S/he would bring an understanding of a member firm and their partners, and an appreciation of how KDN T&L’s “solutions” can help the member firm in their transformation. Examples of KDN solutions are corporate income tax, indirect tax compliance, transfer pricing compliance, etc. The lead will also report key items for monthly governance calls between the T&L leadership of the member firm and KDN T&L. This will include sales pipeline by solution where the MF is going to market with KDN (e.g. a multi country indirect tax compliance engagement), solution specific delivery model projects between KDN and that member firm (e.g. corporate income tax program), quality statistics by solution (and any escalations), and ensure that agreed actions are progressing. Operating at the intersection of business transformation and stakeholder influence, the individual will collaborate closely with the stakeholder management team in KDN, as well as senior leaders across KDN Tax & Legal, KPMG member firms, and global teams. Success in this role requires exceptional stakeholder management capabilities, with the ability to navigate complex organisational dynamics, build trust, and influence outcomes across a wide array of senior stakeholders. The ideal candidate will bring experience with managing change at clients, and an outstanding communication and relationship-building skills. This role demands strategic agility, cultural sensitivity, and a proactive mindset to drive alignment and sustained impact across the global network.
