The Digital Design team in KPMG Technology Advisory work with hundreds of organisations worldwide to deliver outcomes that benefit users, consumers and employees and ultimately unlock business value through technology. The beauty of our approach is that it can be applied to any industry or market; we strategize, we discover, we hypothesise, we ideate, we test, we iterate, we deliver and, at every step, we put people and their needs at the heart of our decisions.

- You are committed to and can advocate for principles of good research, analysis, design, and technology
- You enjoy working across a broad range of products, domains, sectors and industries

**Responsibilities**:

- Lead DesignOps workstream (managing people and quality of deliverables)
- Work with leadership to shape, support and communicate team vision and strategy
- Oversee and continually improve team operations incl. ways of working, team management, opportunity management, performance management, resource management, recruitment, on-boarding / off-boarding, tools management, commercials etc.
- Provide operational support to propositions, branding & marketing and learning
- Coach peers and junior DesignOps team members for skills advancement and design process education
- Build and maintain collaborative relationships with clients, peers, and stakeholders
- Support business development initiatives
- Adhere to and promote KPMG values and our team ethos to “do the right thing, and do it right”
- Adhere to and promote accessibility standards and ethical design principles
- Adhere to and promote Information Security related processes, procedures and role-based responsibilities

- Familiarity with a range of research techniques and related deliverables
- Ability to balance priorities on simultaneous projects

- Strong verbal and written communication skills with the ability to articulate, sell, defend, and receive feedback on work
- Skilled in common design tools; Figma, Sketch, Adobe CC (Photoshop, Illustrator) etc.

- Awareness and interest in current technology and design trends
- Strong self-motivation and teamwork skills, with the ability to build momentum and pivot if needed
