**Job description**

**Ignition Consultant & Lead Facilitator**

KPMG Overview

KPMG is part of a global network of firms that offers Audit, Tax & Pensions, Consulting, Deal Advisory and Technology services. Through the talent of over 16,000 colleagues, we bring our creativity and insight to our clients' most critical challenges. With offices across the UK, we work with everyone from small start-ups and individuals to major multinationals, in virtually every industry imaginable. Our work is often complex, yet our vision is simple: to be the clear choice for our clients, for our people and for the communities we work in.

What is Ignition

We believe that in today's world, to solve complex business issues and to spark real change, you need to think and work differently. Traditional transformation approaches often don't take clients far enough and aren't delivered quickly enough. Rational, technical, 'best practice' solutions often take much longer to embed in an organisation than planned or expected. We believe that the key to unlock this problem is outcome-focussed innovation and collaboration.

In the summer of 2020, we opened theUK's first Ignition Centre, which has been a client experience game-changer - positively transforming the way we work with our clients, and each other, by combining specialist ways of working with dynamic, collaborative physical, virtual and hybrid environments. It not only helps us to deliver what clients need today, it also brings our digital expertise and content to life in new ways and enables us to develop solutions which prepare clients for a changing future. The success of the London centre means that we are now ready to expand the UK Ignition footprint with our second Ignition centre, located in Manchester. This role will be primarily based in Manchester and will work closely with the London centre.

What it's like to work in Ignition

Ignition delivers powerful and immersive experiences enabled by bespoke Ignition spaces - the Discovery & Insights Centre, the Lab, the U Collaborate suite and our Sprint rooms. These experiences drive insight, acceleration, genuine transformation breakthroughs and ultimately, performance.

We work with senior executives across our clients, helping them to solve their biggest and most complex challenges in very accelerated timescales - motivating, challenging and influencing them every step of the way.

We deal with highly ambiguous, high intensity and high 'risk and reward' scenarios. Ignition engagements are typically triggered when senior clients need urgent/ critical help in solving issues. This means the stakes are high for the client and for KPMG and the route to the 'answer' is often challenging to find. Every member of our team requires flexibility, perseverance, influencing skills and an ability to work under pressure and to very tight timelines.

Role description

As part of Ignition's extended leadership team you are responsible for driving impact, performance and external brand/ reputation development through the world class delivery of Ignition services with your team. You will be expected to work across sales / Business Development, Venture Development, People Performance and Delivery to:

- Sell, shape and deliver transformational Ignition experiences/ events - with a specific focus on expanding footprint in the North of England
