The Private Equity Opportunity for KPMG in the UK 

The firm has established strong relationships with some of the world’s leading Private Equity (‘PE’) firms who have record levels of funds ready to be deployed, therefore we are investing for the future.  

Private Equity is a key strategic growth channel for KPMG Globally and within that, value creation and portfolio services represent a standout opportunity for the firm.  

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.
