Reading, Reading, United Kingdom KPMG Full time

Job description

Our Deal Advisory teams make a meaningful and positive difference, not only for our clients, but also for our people and the communities we serve. We support businesses to overcome some of their biggest challenges, and help them create a more sustainable future, economically and environmentally.

A career in Deal Advisory involves helping our clients to buy, sell, fund, fix and partner with confidence, taking them from an initial idea right through to delivery. Looking across their business and outside it, we blend our deep sector expertise with execution skills. You can expect a real variety of work across different industries, including fashion brands, technology firms, sports stadiums, hotel groups, major energy companies, national transport companies and healthcare. It could be that you're advising a company on a merger or how to see a new acquisition through successfully or helping businesses to accelerate change such as reaching net-zero emissions and making operations more sustainable.

Our four-week Deal Advisory vacation programme is your chance to gain valuable work experience and exposure to some very high profile projects. This is your opportunity to grow, learn new skills, build your network and gain an insight into life within our diverse KPMG community. You'll have the support of a buddy and a manager to help you feel confident from the start.

We're looking for curious and resilient individuals with an analytical mind-set good communication skills and commercial awareness. If you're successful on the programme, you'll have the opportunity to be considered for our Deal Advisory Graduate programme in the same office location starting in 2024.

In your role, you'll work flexibly across your location region - at engagement sites, our offices and home. We're creating a tech-driven business to empower and equip our people to be outstanding in delivery, no matter where they work - through inspiring collaboration spaces and new technologies.

Bring your unique perspective to our Deal Advisory teams and discover how you could make your mark.

However, if you do not meet all the below, and are a few grades or points short, then we would still encourage you to apply, as you will be given the option to provide additional information that enables us to assess your application and potential in the context of your socio-economic background and/or any extenuating circumstances.

Learn more about what we look for and how to apply here.

Training and Development:

As the vacation programme is not that long, the focus for you will be to ensure every second counts. Above all else, it's about gaining experience on real-time, real-life projects. It's an opportunity to learn new skills, enhance your CV, learn about the world of work and, importantly, get your foot in the door of one of the leading professional services firms. And if you're inspired by the time you spend with us here and go on to join us full-time once you've graduated, you'll get access to exemplary training and development to help you thrive.

The training and development of our people is critical to the future success of our business. We want to empower our trainees to grow in their own way, to feed their curiosity and embrace a growth mindset in an environment where learning is continuous. Therefore, we have created a rich curriculum and learning community to help our trainees build skills and fulfil their potential. This ranges from an immersive 5-day induction experience to help with the transition to the world of work, formal training courses, leadership knowledge bites, learning journals, online courses and networking events - all aligned to our 'learn for a lifetime' strategy designed to help trainees gain an advantage for life. As part of your vacation programme, you will be introduced to this package and have the opportunity to experience some of the training and development curriculum and learning community.
