KPMG’s Major Projects Advisory (MPA) team works with industry-leading organisations, helping to solve some of the biggest challenges in infrastructure. As a true market leader, we boast an impressive client base across the commercial and public sectors, delivering lasting results on projects and programmes which are household names.

In support of embedding our Enterprise data strategy we are looking for someone to lead Data Governance across the UK Audit business, to ensure we know our critical data assets, and ensure the people, processes, and technology are in place to guide their management across their lifecycle. This is as part of a significant digital transformation for KPMG and in recognition of the value of data as a strategic asset. The role will report into the Head of Audit Technology & Solutions.

Data is foundational to achieving our ambition to be the fastest growing, most connected, most trusted professional services firm in the UK. Jon Holt, CEO KPMG UK, recognises that “without trust, we cannot grow” – and without trust in data, we cannot grow. As a firm we are investing in digital transformation and innovative solutions like Generative AI, as part of our five growth priority areas. However digital technologies and integrated solutions are only as good as that data created, used and shared within them, therefore we need to strengthen our governance practices to ensure we manage data as the asset it is.

We have an exciting opportunity for an Audit Senior Manager to join our FS Insurance Audit team.

In the role, you will be responsible for managing and delivering our largest and most complex audit engagements to a high standard of quality, from planning through to completion.  

You will have your own portfolio of large and/or complex audited entities, with responsibility for agreeing audit timetables, briefing the audit team (including specialists), monitoring budgets, and supervising the

KPMG audit process. You will manage and nurture stakeholder relationships at audited entities throughout the engagement, working with senior level staff.

The KPMG Audit Technology team is dedicated to building cutting-edge solutions in close collaboration with the Audit function. We blend audit expertise with the latest technology skills, enabling us to understand the challenges auditors face daily and develop strategically important products that simplify their lives whilst enhancing Audit Quality.

As a crucial member of the team, you will collaborate with a talented mix of Architects, Data Scientists, Engineers, Experience Designers, Business Analysts, Testing specialists, and Product Owners. Together, we build, deliver, and manage a portfolio of truly exciting products.

In recent years, our products' size and scale have rapidly expanded, leading to significant growth in our technology capability. There's never been a better time to join us.

With our ambitious growth plans, your future here is something to get excited about. As a valued team member and leader, you’ll stay current within the latest trends in technology and audit delivery.

The Role

We’re looking for an experienced Head of AI to join the Audit technology team.

The individual in this role will be instrumental in transforming the audit function by leveraging AI technologies to streamline processes, enhance audit quality and provide valuable insights.

The individual will report to the Head of Analytics & AI.

As a true market leader, we boast an impressive client base across the commercial and public sectors, delivering lasting results in areas including Central Government, Transport, Energy and the Defence sectors.

On the back of continuing growth, we’re once again investing in our team and boosting our numbers – which means you’ll be joining one of the fastest growing areas of the firm at a time of real significance.

The work is varied and complex - just how we like it. And no one else does it quite like we do.

We’re small enough that every individual can make a huge impact, both internally and externally – but we’re also part of something much bigger. Alongside 16,000 of the brightest minds in the business. KPMG is a place where you can make an extraordinary difference without having to be anybody but yourself.
